It's now been almost three years since my ultramarathon dreams were born into my conscious mind, and not quite two years since running my first ultra-distance trail run. After going back and forth during much of that time about whether to go for the "big one", I have finally made a decision...
Big Horn 100
I believe all my previous years of athletic experience will combine to give me the ability to accomplish this yet unproven task. And although I have chosen a race that is widely regarded as one of the more difficult 100 mile courses out there, I feel like I owe it to myself to go for this one mainly for the sentimental value it holds being held just a few hours from where I currently live and, being held in a rugged, beautifully scenic part of Wyoming, I will get to experience this yet unexplored part of the state that I've been meaning to visit ever since I moved out here seven years ago. Also, I'll be turning 30 in early June, and seeing my ambition blossom this past spring has led me to this point. The point where I feel healthy. Happy. Very motivated. And ready to do it now because I'm afraid if I don't do it now, I may never do it at all.

12 Glory Laps in 12 Hours
Last February 20th, I hiked and skied 12 laps on Mt. Glory. 19,638 feet climbed with skis on my back and 19,638 feet skied to raise money for Camp To Belong. It's snowing again and I'm ready for the 2nd edition! Click the logo for more info and ways to support camp!
