Racing The World's Best || Golden Trail World Series Mammoth Trail Fest

[@darlingrunnerpt3342]

You got lost, lost a gel, fell and rolled an ankle …..you are officially a trail runner!!! Congrats.

[@allie_ostrander]

haha initiation complete!

[@molasorrosalom4846]

So what did you do a week after running up a mountain? "I was bored and ran up another mountain." 😂

[@allie_ostrander]

hahah maybe I'll get bored again next weekend...

[@songfortwomusic9278]

Rooting so hard for someone I have never even met, that it makes me tear up. So happy for you!!! Greatings from a fellow sportswoman from Germany!

[@allie_ostrander]

Wow, thank you!

[@wordmunger]

Improving so quickly, that's awesome! And you know what you need to do to get even better. If you can do this in 6 days, imagine yourself 6 months from now!

[@allie_ostrander]

My thoughts exactly ;)

[@keithschumann4859]

Sweet that’s your HR could get to 196 at altitude without acclimatization. That’s impressive! Congrats on the much improved performance.

[@allie_ostrander]

I was surprised it got that high too!

[@paxundpeace9970]

Not uncommon for uphill running and having it that high shows a lot of effort. With some more acclimatization it is probably a bit lower but it takes a bit more then a few days.

[@keithschumann4859]

@@paxundpeace9970 my experience is different. When I go to altitude from sea level I can’t max out heart rate. I understand physiologically that the heart does not get enough oxygen and therefore will not beat faster. This does get better the longer I spend at altitude. Her HR maxing out is a sign of her overall cardiovascular health. Altitude be damned.

[@restlesssouls1149]

My hero!! All your life you've been destined for greater and greater achievements!! No quit in you! Soooooo glad you're sis didn't die. I think we'll make you an honorary Mexican burrito lover...you've certainly earned it. 😊 #9

I am honored to be an honorary burrito lover! I certainly do enjoy a good burrito :)

[@honebeadsmith5937]

Congrats Allie! You really have the heart of a lion. So glad this race went so much better for you. Really neat to get to run this with your sister. That had to make this even better. Great smiles.. both of you. Be safe and stay healthy.

[@allie_ostrander]

It was the best to get to run it with Tay!

[@mollyalexander8406]

You're doing amazing!! Only 6 days after the other race- holy cow! So happy to see you enjoying it and so glad you still raced after Pikes Peak! This is fun following you on your trail and training adventures - I'm also excited to see more! & inspired to do some trail racing myself

[@allie_ostrander]

Thanks for following along :) I'm excited to share more!

[@hineynancy]

So glad you were happy after this race. Wasn't it fun knowing you had your sister there with you? She loves you so much and that kind of support is special. And your attitude rocks. You have an inspiring personality. I love seeing your competitiveness as you get more comfortable in your new professional ventures.

[@allie_ostrander]

having my sister there was the BEST! I told her she has to come to all of my races now haha

[@nicholasbailey8706]

You and your sister are so much alike. In the car before the warm up your sistwr said something i have heard you say before just every workout. She said, "yeah, its gonna be good!" Then there was the shoot just before the start of the race, you looked at the camera, smiled and it was like the gun went off and you went to 100% focus in an instance. Happy you were able to put Pikes Peak behind you. It wont be your last bad race but im sure you know this. We can do everything right and its the things out of our control that can all go bad... I've been there. Dont look at Pikes Peak as negative, turn it into a positive. I know in someways you have already, this race shows. If haven't already decided, you should go back to Pikes Peak next year, show the course whs boss and show yourself you can run good there. Love your smile while running, its always awesome seeing people smile while enjoying what they do, even when its hard and unforgiving at times.

[@runningforviews]

First top 10 in the golden trail series! With many more to come of course. Congrats!

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

Love seeing your sister race with you!!! You both did an awesome job and way too bounce back emotionally Allie... super proud!!!❤

[@schoukri]

Hi Allie. Congratulations on a great race and top 10 finish! I'm really happy for you that it was such a huge improvement from Pike's Peak. That was clearly an anomaly and you are headed in the right direction. I ran this race too and happened to be just a few feet from you on the start line and wished you good luck. I never imagined an amateur like me would line up in a race next to a pro like you, but that's one of the cool things about these Golden Trail races. I agree with you about nearly dying on the very long and very steep Dragon's Back climb! Of course you finished the race way faster than I did, but I did somehow manage to win the "old man" age group (50-59). And congrats also to your sister who also crushed it!

[@allie_ostrander]

Thanks for the well wishes before the race and congratulations on your win! Impressive!

[@alexischapdelaine9476]

Great Job Allie is say finishing 9th is awsome that looked like a tough race i'm very proud of you did great im looking forward to seeing what else you have planned keep up the great running Allie i didn't know your sister liked to run to thats cool im sure that was fun to run the race together how was the hot spring i have never been to one i plan on seeing one someday

[@allie_ostrander]

It was great for Taylor to be there! Also, the hot springs were nice. Not the best I've been to, but a nice relaxing activity for sure.

[@LawrenceMeisel]

Doing your best. Learning. Improving. Enjoying the process. Feeling proud. What more can you ask for. Congratulations. ☮☮🕊🕊☯☯🙏🙏4 Ukraine. May all your ups and downs have only soft landings.

[@Confidence-on-camera]

Thanks 4 the 💓. Back at ya.

[@bcrruns1085]

Way to go Allie!! Was able to catch you on the Mountain Outpost livestream! Amazing what a week can do! Another tough course and tough field and you rocked it.

[@allie_ostrander]

Learning every race!

[@louettakeene3573]

Excellent episode. Nice real room to stay in overnight, much better than a look-alike motel, great shots of the race in progress. Good job in the race. Nice bikini shot. 40,000 is in the bag.

[@bigbattenberg]

Great! 'E-race' that last race from your memory. Back on track. Rolling ankles is always my great fear as well because it happened in some cross country races but ever since switching to minimalist footwear this does not happen anymore, although it's hard to do the mileage, so it's a tradeoff.

[@allie_ostrander]

I like the pun you used there ;)

[@timothymyszak1163]

Allie, When it comes to running "you're a Monster"!!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Allie happy Tuesday morning and I just wanted to say that you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@joanneleyva4942]

Allie, way to crush it at Mammoth Lakes! You really put in a hard push to try and close the gap to Elise! Was so excited to see you come across the finish line!😊🤙🤙🤙

[@allie_ostrander]

I wish I had known how close I was! When I saw the results, I was shocked!

[@frankmarquez6934]

Fancy bib. Glad you did well. I didn't know you had a sister. She's foxy, and a good runner, too.

[@Skwidneh]

This video is so well done! Love following along on your races ❤✌️✨

[@allie_ostrander]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@brianemunroe]

Congrats on your very strong finish! Next time you're in Mammoth (next year!) be sure to stop by Schat's Bakery. They are well known for their sheepherder bread but everything there is delicious.

[@allie_ostrander]

thanks for the rec! Will do!

[@trailrunner919]

Been a fan since watching you killing it at Mount Marathon...congrats on a really great result!!!

[@allie_ostrander]

thank you!!

Ah man, was watching the Golden Trail World Series replay and saw Allie O!!! Great run and finish!!! Seems your fitness is getting there, and the more technical work you do the better you'll get. Looking forward to seeing you more in the GTWS stuff in the future (I hope)! Keep grinding it out and have fun!

[@allie_ostrander]

Definitely more in the future!!

[@adamnichols3506]

Excellent Allie! 9th with all that awesome. You’re sis did great as well! Here’s to the next race!

[@allie_ostrander]

on to the next!

[@timpfluger]

I love this. I especially love that you shared the experience with your sister. Way to get back out there and keep learning.

[@allie_ostrander]

Yes, it was so great to share this race with her!

[@randylazer2894]

You have put out truly strong and excellent efforts in some incredibly challenging races. For your Pike's Peak video, I had shared what I hoped was a very positive comment, and that just vanished from KZbin. Then I put it up again, and saw it, and it vanished again. So I hope I hadn't written anything that wasn't right, as I was so impressed by your incredible effort on what might be the most difficult half marathon in this country. I gave you a "10" on the guts gauge for doing that race, and thought that if you would have had about 10 days more to acclimatize (from my experiences of climbing Colorado's highest peak in Leadville, and then the next day running 2 miles in 17 minutes and change instead of 14 minutes at 10,000 feet of elevation.....ooh what did I notice that was missing....oxygen!). After enduring Pikes Peak, doing this race 6 days later....holy moly! That really shows how awesome your mental fortitude and overall strength is. I think you are as smooth on a downhill as a glass of 20 year old scotch! I remember I did a 10k, 6 days after a marathon, let alone running up a mountain for about 10 more miles beyond that as you did, and I was toast...didn't get out of bed for a day and half after that. You have a great sense of humor, as you cracked me up when you finally saw your sister finishing saying "She's not dead...I'm so happy!" I know that feeling, from my first marathon, where my bud was faster than me, but after finishing, I waited for him for 45 minutes, and was perpetually checking the medical tent. That scenario happened a few more times, wondering if my buds were on the course or at the hospital! Congrats, as after what you survived at Pike's Peak, and likely dug about as deep as you could to finish that race, and then to take on another real beast of a race at high elevation, and doing great..... that leads to my recommended name change for you, switching out Ostrander, so your full name would be.... Allie Awesome! You are right, as this is just the start, for which you are so strong, both mentally and physically, and you are and will be getting better, and better, and better!

[@allie_ostrander]

Thanks for leaving a comment here! I'm sorry that your comment on the last video disappeared...I'm not sure why that would have happened. Anyway, I definitely think that altitude acclimation would have helped me at Pikes Peak and probably this race too. I'll keep that in mind for next year! Waiting for a friend or family member to finish a somewhat dangerous race is so nerve wracking. I wanted Tay to do well, but, most of all, I just wanted her to be safe!

[@randylazer2894]

@@allie_ostrander Thank you Allie! Oh my goodness, you are so right of the worry for those whom we love being on a mountain, and not knowing if they are running or injured. I guess it is better to be faster and the worrier, than the worriee....I think I am committing some grammatical heresy there! Maybe a GPS tracker for Tay? She did great! BTW....do you have any idea of what happened to that runner who disappeared in the Mt. Marathon race? I have read everything from speculation that he ran into a wormhole (but apparently nobody else did), and didn't know if you had an idea or what the locals might think? Great, great job in one amazing week of running close to 30 miles with incredible elevation gains. You Go Allie O!

[@donbracci2199]

Great job in the race. Great video as well. I appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.

[@Sanko1960]

Good job! And so fun to see you with your sister.

[@janetstorm7881]

Girl you did amazing, so proud of you. Oh when you added some of the challenges like falling, rolling your ankle, etc., well maybe the biggest challenge was that you freakin ran the Pikes Peak Marathon Ascent race just 6 days earlier. OMG!!!! I know that you may have Jakob I. levels of recovery, but I think if you in reality had one more week of recovery you would have crushed everyone in this race. ☺ YOU GO GIRL!

[@allie_ostrander]

lots of people that I raced at Pikes were in this one too! I thought it seemed like a crazy turnaround, but I guess trail runners are just built different...

[@helensuzanne8785]

LOVE this content!

[@austinado16]

I'm so stoked that you are trail racing!! Been waiting for you to realize your potential and make the switch, for a couple years. AWESOME!! I'm bummed to hear that you were so hard on yourself over Pike's. You did excellent in that race, and my gawd.... there's nothing harder, as a Half, on the planet! Your racing here was excellent, and you were right there in the fight. Fantastic job! A couple tips. A Naked Running Band is all you need, and will allow you to switch to a lighter sports bra that's not so restrictive to chest expansion during breathing. You don't need much for these "short" distance races. Like maybe 1 or 2 GU Roctanes with caffeine and a coupe of peeled tangerines to wash them down. And a partially filled 17oz camelbak soft flask, in the back panel of the running band. Nothing in your hands!! You need free arm movement. Shoes with thick padded heels will promote ankle rolling, and the wider the heel sole area is, the more unstable the shoe becomes on uneven surfaces. You'd probably love racing in something like a Merrell Trail Glove, with Injinji Toe Socks. Keep having fun, and keep up the great running!

[@brianbruno1786]

Yk Allie you may not see this. But I was recently struggling with my love for the sport. However, after watching ur videos and Spence’s videos I’ve started to fall in love with it all over again. Thank you for being such an amazing help and to see your progress. I hope to do something special in my running career these next few days

[@allie_ostrander]

I’m so glad to hear that! Best of luck in your running career 🤗

[@kevinmshea58]

Just the path not having snow would have made this race better than the last. Could be the answer is Taylor needs to run every race you enter. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Well done!

[@allie_ostrander]

I told her that was the answer! we're definitely going to try to make sisters' race weekends a more common occurrence!

[@paddycunningham6834]

Well done to you both Allie👍 looked like real adventure, good work

[@igoretski]

I'm so happy for you, how quickly you achieved a new and much better experience. I also take Pikes Peak as a beautiful proof, how you're chasing your dreams and how you're striving forward AND upward.

I'm getting "Ultra Barbie" vibes off that bib. Amazing result even with the lost time from the rolled ankles & wrong turns. You gotta feel proud... but knowing Ari, he's probably grinning even more. LOL! Congrats. P.S. - why does your sister HATE being on camera so much? Did you torture her with the camera as a kid?

[@allie_ostrander]

[@sarahdore7884]

Way to go Allie! I thought you were a little nuts for doing this race 6 days after your last but considering you were feeling low about it maybe only having to sit with the results for a short time was good. (Although I still think you did amazing at Pikes Peak) As someone who rolls my ankles regularly walking on flat I’m always dumbfounded how people manage to run on uneven terrain without doing the same. It’s good to know you’re human too 😉 I didn’t mean that to sound like I’m rejoicing over you rolling your ankles 🤔 Anyway, hopefully you get what I’m saying. I’m glad you enjoyed this race more than the last, good luck with your training! 💜💜

[@allie_ostrander]

haha I totally get what you are saying! I'm for sure not completely accustomed to this terrain, so I've gotta work on strengthening those ankles until they're made of steel lol
