Wow thank you so much! I’m glad my efforts are being received! This one definitely took me a long time but it really allowed my creativity to thrive! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you! This is up there with one of my favorite races of all times, and I don’t think I’ve ever run a race 4 years (soon to be 5) in a row before! It’s such a treat these mountains are close enough to run semi-often! Thanks for watching!
What a cool adventure/race! Great job with the video. You did a great job telling the story and sharing the adventure with us. I loved "running" along with you on this. That view at 5:30 and 6:34 was epic! Great job on the race.
Thank you! This is one of my favorite races of all time and I spend so much time training in these mountains. This year the sunrise on Woody Ridge was something I’ve never seen before up there. It was so spectacular! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it! Glad to give you that last little push of motivation! Good luck on your race, try to beat my time of 12:02 for Quest, that’d be pretty awesome! Let me know how it goes! Which race is it?
@@ScottRunsnStuff yes sir! The details were fire! You did awesome! That race looks intense! If it took you 12hrs I can only imagine how bad them climbs were!
You definitely should! Next years race is already sold out but it certainly isn’t going anywhere! Where are you from I wonder if we’ve ever crossed paths!
Great video! I enjoy seeing others perspective of the same race. I remember passing you going up from Bolen’s. That was my least favorite climb for sure. Couple of questions: What changed this year? In 2021, if I remember correctly, you were pushing for a much faster time, was this just an enjoyable run this year? Lastly, sorry I missed your at S2S. I had to DNF after Rabun. Will you have a video of the 25k race? Again great video! Keep it up! Glasses, I also wear glasses, do you do anything to get them to antifog, or do you struggle like myself.
Yeah so 2021/2022 I was in much better shape for the race. For this one I was coming off a really bad mental funk that took a while to get out of. I essentially doubled my YEARLY milage after completing this race (that was in MAY). I did one random 20mi and the Grayson Half before this one. But this is the race that brought me back to training and to running again. It reminded me how much I love the trails, the scenery, the people and the journey. Since this race even though I haven’t posted much to YT I’ve run some pretty amazing stuff recently. Which brings me to S2S. I actually ran a road marathon that weekend up in DC (MCM race) instead. Hated to miss Sky but enjoyed the challenge - it was my first road marathon since 2015! I’m likely planning to be at Cloudland again, are you running that one too?
@@ScottRunsnStuff not this year, I work as a restaurant mgr, so I work a lot of weekends. I ran another 60k race the weekend after S2S (completed that one), but I’m probably done “racing” for 2023. I’ve been looking at what to run 2024 (along with App 100 opens).
Thanks! The animations are a great addition aren’t they! It takes a long time to make but basically I exported the GPX file from my watch into Google Earth, then took two separate recordings, one with the imported file and one without. I then drew a line within the editing software by copying the GPX route that was overlayed on top, animated the line to match my voiceover and then removed the GPX background map revealing just the blank map with the animation. Thanks for watching and for the comment as usual!
@@ScottRunsnStuff I would love hear some more detail about this to understand your process. I've tried a few different ways and have not found one I'm happy with yet.
Your films keep getting better and better. Thanks for documenting your journey.

Love it man! Just watched this on the trip up to my 50 miler! You have given me some motivation 💪🤘🏃

@@ScottRunsnStuff Tunnel Hill 😁 should be about a million times easier than I just watched lol
@thewhislerjourney oh you can totally run sub-12h at Tunnel Hill!! Best of luck!!
The details are sick!🔥🤘
Thank you so much! They definitely took some time to add but I think they came out so nicely!
@@ScottRunsnStuff yes sir! The details were fire! You did awesome! That race looks intense! If it took you 12hrs I can only imagine how bad them climbs were!
Great job!!!!!
Thank you so much 🙏
damn ! thats a beast ! I want to do it :)
You definitely should! Next years race is already sold out but it certainly isn’t going anywhere! Where are you from I wonder if we’ve ever crossed paths!
@@ScottRunsnStuff not sure if we have! I’m new to running < 1 year really. I do live in Raleigh though!
well definitely let me know if you want any tips or advise for other races in/near the area!
nice production value
Thank you! Put a lot of work into this one! Happy it’s being recognized!

Nice job stud!! Looks like I made the cut a few times 😊. How you do all that 3D mapping of the course? Looks like a lot of work.
