First time crewing a trail race escalated quickly- Silverheels Trail Run was one of the hardest race experiences both of us have had
This was my fiancés first 100k and what was supposed to be me pacing for the last 5 miles turned into 29 so he wouldn’t DNF.
This race was challenging to say the least. It starts in Como and goes over multiple passes, and stays at high altitude of 10,000-12,000 feet most of the race. There’s time cutoffs to meet and unexpected challenges that comes with races like this. He trained consistently for 25 weeks and unfortunately you cannot prepare for everything- like poor sleep and stomach issues.
So proud of him for finishing and what an experience this was!
