It seems I no longer write actual race reports, but instead bring along a video camera to capture the sights and sounds along the way. Both the Grand Canyon, and now Western States, felt like events I wanted to have some video of, since who knows when I may ever get back to these great places again.
This race was quite a challenge for a flatlander like me. I was very happy to simply finish! I hope this video gives you a chance to see and "feel" what the Western States 100 is really all about. Enjoy!
When I'm not spending time with family, I'm running, sometimes over terrain and distances most people would think of as crazy. Now doing it all plant-powered!
