Brace yourself for a wild ride! In this episode, I bare all about running my first Ultra Marathon, the Lighthouse Hill Ranch 50K. I talk you through the exhilaration, the trepidation, and the sheer determination that got me from the starting line to the finish. Take a peek at the world of Ultra Running through my journey, from the training to race day.
Let me take you on the roller-coaster that was my first ever 50K race. It wasn't all smooth sailing, with plenty of unexpected challenges throwing me off my stride. But, with a hearty laugh about a mishap with salt tabs and a newfound appreciation for aid stations, I paint the picture of what it's truly like to be in the thick of it. The second loop was a true test of endurance, with the heat and hydration issues adding a whole new dimension. Tune in as I impart valuable nuggets of wisdom about weather-checking, hydration, and nutrition and an emotional finish. Plus, for those considering a relaxing weekend away, I have recommendations for two killer breweries in the area. Don't miss it!
