Congratulations and thank you for documenting your journey. I love watching videos like this to see the course and witness what you go through. This race is on my bucket list.
It is actually very helpful and motivating to hear you keep repeating "I'm tired" even as you keep running all the way to the end. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your run!
Unbelievable. Incredible job! You have McDonalds for dinner, sleep in your car, then push through complete exhaustion to finish strong. I'd asked in your OD video if you've ever hit a really low point, and here it looks like you did, but you battled through. Any tips for that? Also, I'm so glad to hear even beasts like you get tired legs in the first 10-20 miles. I'll be able to dismiss it from my mind in future races as "not a concern", instead of worrying about it!
@@runningwithsimon I don't think they will because they can get more runners both days . I talked to the RD and he said he doesn't see it happening never say never .
@@runningwithsimon Loved fined line. I think living in the Hottest city in the US.. Yuma.. is going to help me a bit. Our terrain looks very similiar. We started a route and coined it the Hot Rock50.. let me tell you.. grueling! This will be my go to trainer for BC23. Thanks friend. Leona Divide 100k this weekend.

I really like this one! I've done it 3x now, and last year was actually with my wife the whole time. That made for a really cool adventure!

Thanks! There was definitely some walking here and there - but I kept focusing on keeping my legs moving until the finish line!
Simon, you are a stud. Can't imagine my body holding up doing this... so I live vicariously through you!
As long as we do something we enjoy - doesn't have to be running forever!

Dude, epic footage!
It's a gorgeous course - especially the first half!
Thinking about doing the 100k on Saturday and 60k on Sunday we see.
That's awesome! Good luck :) I wonder if they'll ever switch back to the pre-pandemic schedule with both races starting on Saturday.

Signed up for 23!
That's awesome! It's a really cool (and iconic) one! If you haven't seen it - highly recommend watching "Fine line" by aravaipa
