    I'm a fan of the well known athletes of this sport. But by far, my favorite stories are of the everyman athletes. Excellent video and congrats to Team Gunnar.

    Man I never have commented on a video before but this had me in tears. Especially at the end when he says, "That was one of the only times I believed that I am loved" that hit deep. Congrats team

    I'll be running Leadville next year and while I have camped there and ran/paced/hiked the majority of the course, it's videos like these that get me emotional and even more excited to experience 100 miles in Leadville. Awesome job Gunnar...

    This was an incredible documentary. I'm so pumped for you, Gunnar for going through your demons in the rain and that 1700 ft ascend after all that. Wow. Juan killed it with the documentary. Really fantastic all around.

    Glad I watched this. There is n.o.t.h.i.n.g. harder than getting caught out in a long distance race for a lot longer than you trained. Great crew, great vibe, great job.

    Congratulations Gunnar! How inspiring. I cried and laughed with you and the team like I was there. I just ran the 2023 10k and you’ve inspired me to want to consider trying to conquer this event. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Blessings to you, your wife and the amazing crew!

    I’ve seen them play since way back when,
    And they’ve always had the grit;
    I’ve seen ‘em lose and I’ve seen ‘em win,
    But I’ve never seen ‘em quit.

    I ran old Dominion 100 as my first hundred this year with no support crew or pacers. It is humbling to take on a experience like that alone but I feel like I'd like to try a 100 with support crew to see if it's better. Your crew looked well prepared to give you all the support you needed
