Report

I've had the North Nasty record on my mind for about two years now. I remember the first time I ran it, I epically blew up after bringing zero fuel – running 1 hour and 28 minutes. My plans were to give it a full-go during the month of June, and it happened to unexpectedly arrived just 36 hours after running a 3k race in 8:15. After that race, which was my first track race in two years, I felt a strong urge to run hard on the trails – go figure. 

The weather cooperated perfectly and the trails were dry. I carried two 250mL flasks with electrolytes with me + 2 gels. I drank only one + both gels. I was on the gas from the start, the steepest descent of the entire route... I truly don't think there's any other way to do it!
