My Travel Story

by: Verna Volker Start Date: Nov 10, 2022 - End Date: Jan 8, 2023
On October 29, I attempted my first 100 miler at the Javelina Jundred.  Last year, I finished the 100k at the same race.  This year, I had my first DNF (Did Not Finish) due to heat exhaustion and flare up of my asthma.  I had to quit at at 32.8 miles because my body was done.  I still managed to finish an ultra but I was hoping that this was my 100 miler.  

After this race, I figured I would attempt the 100 miler in the future, but my coach encouraged me to find a race as soon as a I can.  So I found one in Savannah, Georgia.  I am grateful that I was invited to this event.  I will be running the Dark Anchor 100  hosted by Yeti Trail Runners on January 20, 2023. 

So I will be attempting my 100 miler sooner than I thought.  

As always, I will running in honor of my mother who passed on November 21, 2021.  I hope to bring representation as a native women runner too.
