2026 Bandera 100k

The Background

After Texas Marathon - Kingwood, I only did a bit of stairs during breaks at work and 1 1-mile run.  The latter was to test out a new pair of Hokas Terri had given me for Christmas.  My knees were a bit sore after Kingwood, so I figured I needed the cushioning for the rocks of Bandera.

The Friday before Bandera was a stressful work day, and I was still answering emails on the road.  The good news was Terri and Paloma came with me.  We got dinner at the Old Spanish Trail and stayed at the Flying Ranch.

It was very cold as the race started.



Terri would take Paloma horseback riding as I began the race.  Paloma later said that this was a core memory!
