Hear my journey taking on the beastly Cruel Jewel 100 mile trail race in the mountains of North Georgia. It may be called a 100 mile race, but in reality it is somewhere between 103-106 miles with around 30,000 feet of elevation gain, and I felt every bit! After hitting a mental and physical low early in the race, I thought I was never going to finish, but with so many prayers I was able to pull through and finish stronger than I ever imagined I could. 2nd place female and 13th overall still seems absolutely unreal to me, and I could never have accomplished this epic feat without the help of my crew, Jonathan and Kayda Jordan, and my pacers...Lara and Evan Dykes, Lisa Busche (& the whole Busche family), and Tom Sharkey. You kept me going, you kept my mind sharp, and you kept me laughing...THANK YOU will never be enough. My very special guests, Jonathan (husband) and Kayda (my youngest), will also share their experience crewing through 30 hours in unfamiliar woods. I hope you get a glimpse of what it might be like to be a part of something so completely cruel, yet so incredibly rewarding. God has created us to do so much more than we could ever think or imagine. This is one I will never forget.
