Sedona 125 miles Ultra Marathon documentary - the longest Trail Running Race I've ever completed by a full marathon! It's the second half of Aravaipa Running's Cocodona 250 miles - going from Jerome to Flagstaff, passing through Sedona, Arizona.

Because this was my 18th 100 miler in the last 18 months (and 6th in the last 16 weeks) I came in with the mindset of taking it slow. This actually was not part of my racing schedule but I signed up last minute to tune up a few things before Badwater 135 in 10 weeks. I was hoping that a slow pace and eating a lot from the start would make for a (relatively) smooth sailing.
Turns out, I was wrong! Well, halfway wrong. The night was terrible - I honestly can't remember struggling so much with sleep walking. Maybe it was the altitude, because I also experience vivid hallucinations, something that is new for me.
But somehow, after a nap, I was able to turn things around. And from mile 80 to the end, I was running strong! Somehow, that was enough for a 4th male finish. But most importantly, that was a fun experience and a good preparation for Badwater 135 this summer.
with the most gorgeous landscape near Zion. One of my favorite Trail Running Races, I'm back for a 3rd time at Zion Ultras 2023.
Thanks for watching!
