Most Memorable Race:

Pikes Peak Marathon - Went into it not knowing what to expect and, wow, was it an eye opener! Most challenging race I've ever done. It gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for those who race trails. 13.1 up to 14,000 feet, 13.1 down and about 2 hours of the race is above tree line, making it difficult to breath. After the race I told myself that if I would have known what I was going into, I probably would not have done it. Great experience and I hope to do it again someday!
