8:06 at Bandera 100k USATF National Championship (results) was good enough for second place and a second year of getting a golden ticket entry into Western States.
Thank you to Tejas Trails for putting on a great event, all the support from friends, family and the running community as well as HOKA ONE ONE and Stance. I could not have done it without my one woman amazing support crew Jenny, you’re the best!

Awesome stuff, Chris. Looking forward to seeing how your second run at States goes. And I love your race write ups, they’re full of great details. Speaking of which, why the double watch (HR/GPS/fitness tracker/etc.)?

Hey Brian! Thanks for the support bud!
I wore a Suunto Ambit 3 GPS watch for time, pace, heart rate data, and post race analysis. In a race like Bandera, it was mainly used for the time piece as pace is all over the place given the highly varied terrain. I used the Heart rate data as a guide and to reinforce I was working hard enough. I took off the heart rate monitor at mile 52 ish. In longer races I also tend to wear a standard simple stop watch as back up if my GPS dies.

A simple stop watch for back up. That’s great! And I love the feedback of HR training, and it’s always cool to hear how others are using it.
