Have never been so nervous 🙈🏃‍♀️

The Pikes Peak Ascent is this weekend and it will be my first time running it!

Here’s everything I’m packing for this trail race:

- salomonrunning vest (lightweight, many pockets, easy to drink from water bottles, stretchy and holds everything)

- garmin to track and of course post to strava 

- tailwindnutrition for hydration, endurance fuel and my favorite birthday cake recovery 

- honeystinger and skratchlabs for some fuel

- saltstick I take every 30 minutes to prevent cramping, has helped so much

- brooksrunning shorts, shirts, fleece and trail shoes

- karitraa hat to protect from the sun for hours out there 😅

- sunscreen is so necessary especially when going up in altitude sunbum 

- new favorite balega_international socks

I will also have some other snacks/hydration at the aid stations and wear some additional layers before/after the race as it will be a low of 25 and high of 60 🥶 

I’ll share Sunday how it goes 🤞
