“ONE MORE.” | Rocky 50 Ultramarathon 2026 | Back40 to 50 | Final Episode

Back40 Mission: Rocky 50 – 2026. This was my first 50-mile ultra… and it humbled me. I trained through a Maine fall and winter, traveled to Texas, and lined up for Rocky 50 believing I was ready. The first loop went well, lock-step with my goal. Then the heat and humidity exposed a problem I underestimated—sodium and hydration. My right calf started cramping hard, my legs were shot, and less than 30 miles in I was ready to quit. At the last aid station before loop 3, I wasn’t injured. I wasn’t broken. I was empty. It felt like I had nothing left. Then the switch flipped. I thought about Jesus—tested in the wilderness for 40 days, and what He endured beyond it… the cross. On the last leg of my second loop, crushed and by that reality all at the same time, all I could say was: “One more.” Finish time: 11 hours, 2 minutes (and some change) Biggest lesson: Fitness wasn’t the limiter. Fueling and electrolytes were. But most of all- We can do SO MUCH more than what we think if we have faith. And I’m grateful for the people who carried me when my plan fell apart. I couldn't have done it alone. Scripture referenced: Matthew 4:1–2 Thanks for watching and for the support through this whole training block. Faith. Discipline. Service...... that's the mission. 00:00 Cold Open – “I Was Done” 01:07 Travel to Texas + Shakeout Run 04:09 Treadmill Doubts + Encouragement 07:29 Pre-Race Briefing 09:04 Race Morning + Start Line 10:29 Loop 1 Update (Early Miles) 11:44 Aid Station 1 – Nature Center 13:31 Base Camp – Loop 1 Complete 14:01 Loop 2 – The Wheels Fall Off 15:52 Sodium Fix – Mashed Potatoes 16:39 “I Don’t Know If I’ll Finish” 18:03 Ready to Quit – The Wilderness Moment 18:26 Matthew 4:1–2 + “One More” 19:40 Prayer Before Loop 3 20:54 Final Stretch + Pacer 22:48 Finish Line + 11 Hour Result 23:17 Final Thoughts + What’s Next #Back40Mission #rocky50 #ultramarathon
