If you're lucky enough to be in the mountains, you are lucky enough.

When something bad happens, you have three choices: let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you.

The diffirent kind of difficult.

So far Texas trail races gave me a stress fracture in my tail bone and two rolled ankles.


Bottom line? 22:55! Eat that, Texas! Report to follow:)

Awesome, Olga! Even with the little I know about 100 milers, this sounds like a really fast time on a tough course. Those ankles better be healed by April 3rd (and of course they will be) :). Can't wait for a report... and more pictures??

Olga, thanks for your comment on my blog. It was fun to see you out there, even briefly. Sorry about your ankles -- I feel lucky to have escaped unscathed!

hmmm not so bad if thats all it takes to run under 23 hours ... a couple of twisted ankles to piss you off - lol

Great job Olga, congrats!!

It was great to see you out on the course. Awesome run time, and with a bad ankle - WOW. Both of my ankles are twice the usual size - Lots of ice.

Nice job girl! Those feet don't look good at all, ouch. Way to stick it out although I would expect nothing less. Congrats on a nice sub 24 hour 100M. I agree 100M is a long way to go!

It was great seeing you out there Olga! You are such a stubborn (a virtue in ultrarunning!) and strong woman - my inspiration!
