2022 USATF national mountain running championships at Whiteface Mtn in New York.
8 hour round trip drive to Whiteface with travel team mate Dawn – Air BNB team bonding with epic pre-race meal & DONUTS! Early morning rise to grind up Whiteface and down some pretty steep and gnarly terrain. Definitely the toughest mountain race I have experienced in my “mountain running career” that began in 2009. At one point on the steep and wet cliff I turned around and sat in the water to take in the view. Running down a black diamond trail “Upper Empire” was like doing box jumps – I noted to the “boys” around me that I wish I had my rock skis and a little snow – it would be much easier! I was second in my age group behind incredible team mate Karen E!
WMDP cleaned house!! It was a great trip very strong runners and WMDP came out on top with one age group gold and three age group Silver. First open the first master and first senior teams! It was fun because we saw Stephen from the WMDP Men’s team was seventh overall! A great day of racing congratulations everyone!
Side notes: One girl asked me on the way up one steep – “Is that another race number, are you doing the one later?” — I responded — no that’s my AGE. LOL “Oh wow – you’re amazing” she responded. Obviously she was an open runner (younger than 40) as most of the open runners didn’t wear the bib on the back.
Athletic Brewing Company NA beer was a hit in the parking lot sharing with the champs of the day! My favorite post race refreshment! SO honored to be a part of this amazing mountain running community!
