I traveled to the Seattle area to run a lesser-known ultra, mostly run by locals, called Pigtails Challenge. There are three distances, 100 miles, 150 miles, and 200 miles. I decided to enter the 150-mile race “the middle child,” fully understanding the difficulty and toll it would take on my body. If successful, this would be the fourth time I had reached at least 150 miles in a single race.
Today a picture of me was featured on the ESPN website. I contributed to an article on the Grand Canyon written by Doug Williams.
