IRONBULL executive director, Andrea Larson, shares her experience at the Bandera Endurance Trail Run in Texas in the cover article of Ultra Running Magazine..
During this unique time, silent sports have been stripped down to why I do them to begin with – for the love of being outside in the woods, escaping the rest of the world, and to lead a healthy lifestyle alongside my family.
I told my husband as I prepared for the Black Canyon 100k I would likely be a kamikaze in my attempt to go out hard and hang on. I went for it and paid the price.
As an engineer, I evaluate everything. Here I evaluate the Bandera 100k, trying to determine what I learned to make my next race (only a month away) better.
With the support of my husband, I am attempting a top ten finish at North America’s most prestigious ultra marathon, the Western States 100. But just getting to the start line will be half the battle.
