Leona Divide 50K 2017: Race Recap
The butterflies showed up early on race morning and I wasn’t expecting them. It’s always normal for me to feel a little nervous before a race, but my stomach was in total knots. So I did what I always do: I took deep breaths and told myself, “One foot in front of the other. That’s…
