A few of us recently went down to Pittsfield VT to run in the Peak Races,McNaughton Ultra Trail Run.
One guy who i've been training for a year plus went out and killed it! Chris Thompson showed a lot of heart and drive as he blasted out 3 ten mile laps that had over 2,400 feet of elevation gain per lap and lots of technical up and down.
Got a little antsy the night before the run and the organizer let me head out and do some laps via headlamp. did one lap with Will Castle then headed back out for another before getting a few hours of sleep and limped through another lap due to an injury but got my 30 which is more miles than i've run total my whole life i'm pretty sure. Will woke up the next day and did 3 more laps plus Death Race Training. The kid is on fire!
We were rocking the Mocean Mate' tent, keeping runners fueled up throughout the day and early evening. good times.
big congrats to Chris, Will and big ups to the race organizer, Andy at Peak Races for having us. And we couldn;t have done it without our support crew, Meg and Bethany!
