I just ran my first ‘ultra’ marathon.

I got into the best shape of my life. It was a lot of fun. Doing the race but it was all the stuff prior to and then the planning. Anticipating what I’d need on race day. Etc. I got it done. I completed in 6 hours 40 minutes.

So what’s next. 100k? That crossed my mind.

Or grizzly again but try and race it. Go fast.

Everyone concerned about my health and well being. Not knowing what I knew? Or believed? I’d never done it. But really. How hard could it be.

It was tough. The trail elevation stuff was tough. My downhill I was flying. Just let the stride out.

But it was not like. So super tough mentally. Some knee pain last two legs of the race really slowed me down. And training wise doing it again. I’d be more prepared. More load sooner. Break myself earlier.

Alas. Got it done. But now what’s next.

I discovered. Or like. Reaffirmed my own knowledge.

My super power. Is grit. It depends on what. But the race. Easy mentally.

And then now this new thing. Apply to that.

The grind to 1000

The road to Wedge Mastery.

Wedge Wizard 1000.

Every make is one point. All the way to 1000. It’ll take quite some time. But I think I’ll get to a point where I can be making them in bunches.

Who knows. It’s the infinite game of golf is golf. This drill. To keep levelling up.

I was entertaining 100km. And further. Going deep into the ultra running scene. It was awesome. But also. Plenty of strain. And the training. So tough with kids. In Regina. Winter. Cold.

And there’s other runners out there. I was like. Maybe I could try and finish first in the grizzly next year. Go for something like that.

As the NEXT IMPOSSIBLE THING

Instead I soul searched. I super power identified.. I made up my own ultra. That I could be the best in the world at… by default. Hah.
