Javelina Jundred 100k told by @wolffrunner "Javelina Jundred 100k is a non-technical terrain racecourse that requires acute technical execution on race day. Javelina takes place 30 miles outside Phoenix, AZ on a 20-mile desert loop course. Typically ran on the last week of October temperatures carry into the mid/high 80’s F with no shade or humidity. Topical cooling is critical to success at Javelina and requires a shoe-sock combination that provides rapid moisture evaporation, focused compression, rock protection and responsiveness ready for the rolling sections. 106,746 steps through sand, over rock, sopping wet and dried over and over my feet never comprised my effort. Ripping the last mile in 7:48 was a victory lap for a hard day’s work. Setting physical goals that challenge your mettle is where you discover mental endurance capable of accomplishing life changing goals." photography @shapirothehero #NEAREARTHRUNNING
