Sleep-deprived, behind on training, and with family medical problems heavy on her mind, Michelle took FIRST place trail running at the Montana Snowbowl 15K. Her time of 1 hour 15 minutes and 48.96 seconds beat the second place woman by 3 minutes! She finished 9th out of 240 runners, so that means she was ahead of lots of guys, too. Her pace was a stunning 8:08 minute miles.
The Snowbowl 15K is a 9.3 mile race that climbs 2,150 feet up for 4.65 miles. This year, the race was on August 3, 2019. Michelle said the trail was very scenic and fun. Way to go, girl!!!
