    Has any heard from @JessicaMcB how she did on the ultra on Saturday?
    I've also been wondering about her race.

    Its today. It started like half an hour ago if I remember the start time correctly.

    Oh wow. Its 100 miles right?

    short race, elite qualifier 50k

    Cool. This is her first race with her new sponsor right?

    yup. it was like -30c with some anlke deep snow for the race. Good conditions

    Ugh. What is qualifying based on? Hope that does not impact her chances.

    I'm pretty sure it's based on time. The snow could be an issue but she has no problem with the temperature.

    She has run in deeper and colder, so if anyone is ready for it, it is her.

    Yeah. It's really not bad weather for it. If theres a decent base under the fresh snow, its not bad at all. Now she just to not try to keep up with Dave Proctor.

    I have no clue. It was a really messed up day I guess, so she's still not sure if she placed because of the craziness with all the DNFs and stuff. This is going off my very limited knowledge of elite ultrarunning..... all my experience is back of the pack ultrarunning
