Honestly, it’s embarrassing how much what the elites do effects me. I’ve been dealing with a lot of chaffing this summer, even made a post about here. Recently I pulled out an old pair of basketball shorts I have that are pretty long, and I haven’t had any chaffing issues at all with them! Now the embarrassing thing is I’d have never tried them if it wasn’t for Courtney, because long shorts aren’t “cool” - until she made them cool. Lol, I need to be less effected by what people think (or rather what I think they think), and just do what works for me.
She also set a new female track record for Hardrock, so truly a stellar weekend for Courtney.
I was watching the live stream on and off throughout the weekend, and even went for my own little 30K run on Saturday morning, thinking of the fine men and women which at that same time were running at Hardrock.
Coincidentally, this was the first time Hardrock 100 has had a live coverage, thanks to Jamil at RunSteepGetHigh, and thanks to Starlink. And although the video feed was very choppy in most places, it was still a thrill watching the runners enter and leave the aid stations in real time!
GOAT!!!
