Beat The Blerch 2020 was a virtual race inspired by this comic about running, written by The Oatmeal. 100% of the race fees went to charities. Although the race distance is 13.1 miles, I hiked 17 miles in the moutains in Flagstaff, AZ. The website does not have a results page - racers recorded their own times and sent directly to the organizers.I have no idea where I placed, so took my best guess.

The Run Like a Wolf 100 Mile Challenge was a virtual challenge to run, walk or hike 100 miles, from August 1-31. I averaged 5 runs a week, with my long runs at Oracle State Park.

Fees from the challenge benefitted the The Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), located in South Salem, New York - a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental organization protecting and preserving North America's wolf populations through education, advocacy, and active species recovery.

The finish time shown below is only for my last trail run of 13 miles and @ 1800ft elevation gain.

Race report

Conditions were the roughest in the race’s 8 year history, according to the race director, Josh Green. Water temp was 64F, winds were gusting 15+mph, waves at times were 3-4’ with white caps. It was difficult to site the finish since the 20’ red inflatable finish line arch had blown over early in the race, so ultimately I swam 7 miles rather than 6.2.

Race report

The distance was changed from 4.4 miles to 2.2 the day before the race, due to hazardous marine conditions. Water temp was low 70s. I swam skins, although the race directors didn’t include a non-wetsuit category this year. Tough swim!

Race report

Race was both on road and trail - views of Lake Powell were stunning from trail sections! Dealing with an injury, I did walk/run intervals, 2min walk / 30sec run. Very well organized event, finisher medal is awesome!

Race report

Water temp 52F, finished 4th overall in the wetsuit division, I was the only female to complete the 4K. Over 90% of participants did not complete.
