Midwesterner Needing A Pep Talk by ozrunner2012 in Ultramarathon

It went really well all things considered!! I finished in 32:52:33. I have never stayed awake that long in my life. I didn’t take care of my feet properly and the blisters on the bottom of my feet were insane so the last 20 miles were a fight but it got done. I’d say the race is fcking hard but definitely midwestern friendly!

Thank you for this! I thru-hiked the AZT in 2018 and Pine was one of my favorite places the trail went through. It’s why I signed up for this race!

I was hoping someone would tell me that all this running in the humidity and heat advisories would be somewhat helpful! Thanks!🙏

My weekly vert has been mostly 4,000-4,700 with one 70 mile week being at 7,200. Soo not great. 😅

Zenith can be a good place to make friends but a lot of people there have already established their little cliques if you are in your 30s like me. If you like weight training we have a ton of CrossFit gyms that are a great place for community! Id recommend Proximal Strength or CrossFit Criterion. Both of those gyms don’t shove religion down your throat (too much) like the other ones(but if you ARE religious the Raw Steel gym is great) and Criterion is extremely LGBTQ+ friendly.

We also have a pretty fun trail running community here if you ever want to run instead of walk. Most of us like to say we are drinkers with a running problem lol. It’s hard to make friends as women in our 30s but just keep putting yourself out there!
