2024 BLACK CANYON 100K Ultra Trail Race Recap

[@kylemcelroy8217]

Heather, you are so classy,.so kind, so positive. Even through a tough race, maybe even more so in a.tough race, you inspire. Good luck in everything you do.

[@sudhanshusehgal622]

The tone of your voice when you said sorry to your crew right before you met Megan Roche just sums up how much pissed off we feel when we don't put up the performance we wanted to and the reply by your crew showed it is not all about performances rather it is much more than that and being doing this together makes it worth doing. I am still pissed off from my performances in all the races and recently I ran my first ever Backyard Ultra in India on 10th February hoping to win it and wanted to see how far can I go but in the second night loop(13th loop overall) when the course gets changed- I missed a left turn and went straight and couldn't complete the loop in an hour. I had hoped to go for the win but I fucked it up big time and couldn't even call my crew as the thoughts came flooding to my mind saying you don't belong in this ultra scene, you are a crap, you can do no one thing right, feeling devastated that I let my family, friends and all the people rooting for me. But now I will be toeing line at my first ever 24 Hour Stadium Run on 9th March hoping to give my all and will be trying to get 150 miles in order to get a qualifier for Team India for 24 World Champs next year. I know no one day defines me and you elites being vulnerable about your story shows a lot. The way you race is just commendable and great to see, remember HEATHER JACKSON IS THE BEST HUMAN SOUL THERE AND A BADASS ATHLETE.!

Dear Heather, as we've learned, the measure of one's character is not made in the midst of victory, but rather, it's defined in defeat, and in the graciousness and gratitude with which one accepts the result when it's not their day. Thanks for reminding us all of this, and for reminding us to be thankful just for the opportunity to compete. And to always finish the race, as you once stated, for those who can't. You'll get 'em next time. Best, Will

[@JoelNads72]

its weird but I am more impressed with this race than your win at javelina. Fighting through adversity and finishing the race is inspiring.

[@rachelshirley8403]

“Using every single lesson at every single race.” Heather Jackson, you’re pure GOLD!

[@notoriousrjg]

Love the high five with Rachel at 21:11. Thanks for sharing your experience at this race!

[@kariskoett]

You're so amazing. I appreciate how genuine you are and I love watching your journey!

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Inspiring documentary, we cant wait to see what you do next

[@runningforviews]

Just think about how great of a training race this was for Western! You got this!

[@andreaolive5912]

I am sorry about your friend Simon. It is hard and beautiful to be grateful for our pain.

[@jillshannen280]

Love the genuine humility.❤

[@allenvilleendurance]

Heather!!! Great video of course! But let’s just hit on how dang awesome you are doing! Just two years ago I’m in Oregon 70.3 with you, now you’re already locked in for a NEW sports superbowl Western States! This video was an absolute testimony of how hard you put in work to be better every day. Can’t wait to see you crush the mountains in CA! 😊

[@carry_boats]

This video highlights the importance of race strategy for sure.

[@KaskaGdela]

Heather we love you! keep it going!

[@getoutgetrad]

Grit shows character! Way to finish! And sending thoughts and prayers to your pal, Simon 🙏🏻

[@LindaD2023]

In case no one has told you lately - You Are A Legend! In case you truly don't know - You Are A Legend! So proud of what you are doing and for all that you share! Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@derekliou6464]

[@sissyrosebrock9732]

Heather...you are awesome, just awesome.

[@glennwilliams5869]

Such early days for you Heather. Learning from every race. Big love from Wales ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@zacharysmiles1308]

What an amazing person!!! She's just the best!

[@MrRunner10]

Geeze you’re such a tough athlete ! A great role model for the highs and low points. Have a great 2024

[@rpgd2727]

Greetings from the UK Heather, so glad you finished without injury and still smiling......My 6 year old daughter has now started talking about Heather Jackson......can't think of a better role model. Keep up the great work and best wishes/strength to your friend with cancer x

[@john.maynard]

Such a strong run 💪 I can imagine other elites may have dropped when the wheels came off - especially because you already have your Golden Ticket. But the character you showed by finishing reveals so much. Congratulations! 🫡

[@christineclayton8169]

You are inspiring. I have said it before, and I'll say it again. My goal is to look half as good as you running. I have met Simon and Lezlie a couple of times and attended their camp in 2020. My thoughts and prayers are with them everyday. You, too. Keep smiling. Stay strong.

[@gojeffgo]

Way to finish strong! Awesome work.

[@larrymyles1012]

[@SedA2027]

You’re such a light! It is so fun to watch your running adventures! #gogetthatfinishline

[@heatherjacksonracing]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤

[@visciousadventures]

The spirit you bring to this sport is what we all needed. Thank you 🙏

[@Dr.RundaBomZim]

It was a pleasure meeting you at the expo before the race and seeing your smiling face while sharing how you inspire women to be their best self, regardless of what society sometimes deems the stronger sex. Keep moving forward and know we appreciate you. I competed in the Black Canyon 60k and watched the entire live stream at home nearby in North Phoenix, just 40 minutes away. We are so fortunate to have you among our community, Heather. The weather, we'll it was an unexpected phenomenon.

[@Dr.RundaBomZim]

Watched the entire 100k, that is.😂

[@Dr.RundaBomZim]

Typo "well" 😮

[@amyfriesland723]

You show such class and you are inspiring!!

[@extratomorrows]

Great job out there. Your attitude is infectious and is a great example.

[@JJ01010J]

Gah! You are such an inspiration on how to live life. You are the role model everybody needs. 💪🏼🔥💗

[@jg5555]

Really nice video. Very best of luck in your future events!!

[@billwinnenberg2003]

[@rizmaslen]

Such a trooper! so much respect for you and your honesty! Such a wonderful soul!

[@debb4474]

So good, thank you for sharing. You rock 💖

[@morganaverynz]

Who dares wins. We all know you can play it safe and lock in a bunch of thirds. But we also know that's not who you are. When it comes together, and I know it will, you are going to blow the doors off.

[@cindywhite4493]

I am really enjoying watching you grow in trail running. You have a fantastic work ethic and such a Infectious laugh! Every time you chuckle, I cant help but smile.

[@andreafennessey7975]

Beautiful documentary! You bring so much to the sport of trail running. Lessons learned will do you well. Congratulations.

[@slowwalker1977]

Goodness... raw, really, and one of the best that Drew has done so far of documenting your journey this past and current year. Continue to always take the scenic route....much luv, Stevie's AS

[@andydeal]

You’re amazing Heather! I’m loving these videos too!!! Keep up the great work. You’ll get em next time.

[@rbcism]

Amazing athlete, amazing duo, and there will be a next time! Great job true core values thank you for the example….

[@cdnnurse01]

Wow so inspiring, amazing filming, looking forward to future events, I watched it live that day

[@wnegrini]

What a journey!

[@katydunn6064]

So inspiring! 🥰

[@AndrewBrown-em3ti]

Great racing, a really inspiring effort and reflection on your day. Have a great season and thanks for documenting your journey in this way.

[@taylorross862]

[@cpruns4501]

Awesome video as always and very inspiring. Keep the videos coming:)

[@hudsonmbg]

Nice stuff, Heather. When you are ready, sign-up for the UTMB ;)

[@lisathibeault6109]

You are amazing! The bonk is horrible but you did it! As always you inspire me to keep challenging myself 🍾💪🏻❤️

[@laurabellman7682]

When your body is in dire circumstances, your prefrontal cortex goes offline and bad decisions result. It is your crews job to make the good decisions. Remembering everything for you.

[@TravisDavidson-b7q]

New bestie with Lucy!!!!!

[@toddcurtis.dc12project]

respect 🫸🏻🫷🏻

[@SeeChadRun]

AMAZING video! Well done Heather! Oh, I really should order your Dirt Brigade Packable Trail Hat (multi-color yellow) hat. Would love to rep that!

[@lauiman]

Fantastic video - this girl is sooooo lovely - little bit heartbreaking to see what happened, but she will come back!!! She'll be back soon and she will win 🙃 had seen the livestream for hours and hours from germany and thought, maybe she had become sick or another injury. I was right (little bit 🙂) go Heather - go ! Excuse my english 🥴

[@tucopacifico8311]

Way to be: KEEP GOING!

[@kirbyamacker703]

Another great video, learning more and more about trail running with every video! Just noticed on this one, it doesn't look like any of the runners have any headphone. Is this the case? If so, mind blown. That's a LOT of time in one's head!

[@smkynbandt1]

Race nutrition is such a difficult thing to nail down in endurance sports. What might work one event may not work for another one. Lord knows I have had my share of miscues. Keep grinding and working towards your next event! Are you doing any East Coast events this year?

[@Jinx-ig1fz]

The commentators were saying that you were using this as a time trial. So I really thought you backed off and didn't know it was another issue. Nonetheless it was a great effort. Keep going strong.

[@barrycook8116]

No doubt if you had your nutrition down you would have won. Circle this race and learn everything you did wrong and go kick butt in next races and the race after those. You know what to do! The only easy day was yesterday!

[@heatherjacksonracing]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼❤

[@rachelmayhew2457]

Wait... They delayed twice for a dusting of snow?

What Would Heather Jackson Do? 🤔 WWHJD? 🤔 She would GET IT DONE!! ❤💥💪😍🏆
