Top of Snowdon. Lovely British mountain weather 😉☔️🌪#justgetonwithit #prefersunshine😂 It's done (phew! 😉) Thanks @irun4ultra for the opportunity to be an ambassador and do what I love and thanks to @transrockiesrun_official for an incredible week in a beautiful part of the world! Come away with 4th overall, 2 stage podiums, 2 scraped knees, 2 scraped arms, bruised ribs, an incredible experience and great memories. I'm sure I will come back to the Rockies. @raidlight @hokaoneone @hokaoneone_eu @sziolssportsglasses @myracekit @lyofood @seemywrk #irun4ultra #irun4ultraambassador #raidlight #teamraidlight #sharethetrailrunningexperience #hokaoneone #hokaspeedinstinct2 #timetofly #womenwhofly #myracekit #enjoyyouradventure #coloradorockies #transrockies2017 #transrockiesrun #transrockiesrun2017 #livingatsealevelproblems #notamountaingoat #livingthedream #followyourpassion #multistagerace #trailrunning 📸-> @pippenbo Stage 5 done. Longest in time and a lot of climbing. Knee held up and I ran sensibly and stayed on my feet! 4th in stage and 4th overall. Was nice to cool off in the creek afterwards. They save the "best" for last with 1600m of climbing tomorrow 😩 @transrockiesrun_official @irun4ultra @raidlight @myracekit @hokaoneone_eu #raidlight #teamraidlight #hokaoneone #hokaspeedinstinct2 #womenwhofly #timetofly #sharethetrailrunningexperience #enjoyyouradventure #myracekit #irun4ultra #irun4ultraambassador #livingthedream #livingatsealevelproblems #notamountaingoat #coloradorockies #transrockiesrun #transrockies #transrockies2017 #vailcolorado 📸-> @pippenbo Tough day in the office! The knee was pretty bad after yesterday so I was worried about today. Slept with the leg elevated and this morning it was better but still bruised and swollen. Today was mainly about damage limitation, making sure I could get around and be fit enough for the remaining two days. Had to go slow on the steep descent so lost a lot of time. Feet froze in the ice cold creek we had to wade through 😂😱 Back in 4th overall. On a positive note the views were stunning today and the sun was out! ☀️⛰Resting up for tomorrow's stage which will be tough with 39km/1250m of climbing... @raidlight @myracekit @hokaoneone @hokaoneone_eu @transrockiesrun_official @irun4ultra @sziolssportsglasses #raidlight #teamraidlight #sharethetrailrunningexperience #irun4ultra #hokaoneone #timetofly #womenwhofly #transrockies #transrockies2017 #multistagerace #nevergiveup #keepgoing #enjoyyouradventure #irun4ultraambassador Hard earned podium today! Just clawed back 3rd overall with a 2nd place stage finish. Took a tumble (again!) so mummified by the medics 😂🤕😬 Right knee is about football size so trying to recover for tomorrow. Thanks to @pippenbo for great stage support and patience. Will be another steep, long climb tomorrow, plus 1/2 mile in creek = wet feet. Very close between 2nd and 4th so anything can happen. @irun4ultra @transrockiesrun_official @hokaoneone @hokaoneone_eu @raidlight @myracekit @sziolssportsglasses #raidlight #teamraidlight #sharethetrailrunningexperience #hokaoneone #hokaspeedinstinct2 #timetofly #womenwhofly #transrockiesrun #transrockiesrun2017 #coloradorockies #livingthedream #multistagerace #livingatsealevelproblems #notamountaingoat You can RELAX now peeps! Normal service is resumed 😂😬🙃🏃‍♀️🤕 I'm fine, just a scrape & some swelling. Today we had a lung busting climb of 3200ft / 975m over Hope Pass (3821m) and some fun downhill. 4th place today. Think I did what I could. Tomorrow is the longest stage. @irun4ultra @myracekit @raidlight @hokaoneone @hokaoneone_eu @transrockiesevents @transrockiesrun_official #raidlight #teamraidlight #sharethetrailrunningexperience #transrockiesrun2017 #transrockiesrun #hokaoneone #hokaspeedinstinct2 #womenwhofly #timetofly #livingatsealevelproblems #notamountaingoat Had broccoli yesterday, I'm sure it counts... 😉🙃🍦#happiestwheneatingicecream #preracenutritionisveryimportant One more sleep, eeek! 😱😳 @irun4ultra @transrockiesevents @raidlight @hokaoneone_eu @hokaoneone @myracekit @sziolssportsglasses @lyofood #livingatsealevelproblems #transrockiesrun #raidlight #teamraidlight #sharethetrailrunningexperience #hokaoneone #womenwhofly #timetofly #buenavistacolorado Remind me to never run a 10k at 3100m elevation again! Lung busting doesn't come close 😂😳😅 @hokaoneone @hokaoneone_eu @ltraceseries @irun4ultra #womenwhofly #timetofly #hokaoneone #hokaspeedinstinct2 #livingatsealevelproblems #givemeoxygen #leadville #leadvilleraceseries #leadville10k #livingthedream #fundayout #spontaneous #coloradorockies
