Javelina! We meet again. I raced this as my first 100k in 2022. I came in 3rd with a time of 10:07. In 2023 I went back hoping to improve upon this. Unfortunately I came down with Covid about 8 days before the start. One of the primary lingering symptoms were daily migraines. I decided to start the race anyway despite feeling pretty unsure of my body. I performed fairly well until the late afternoon migraine hit. I spent the third loop with extreme vertigo taking cactus naps every few miles. It was rough but we got it done! I feel I have to give this race one more go before I can close a chapter.
