Knowing that this was my final attempt here and my one and only shot at finishing this... was very motivating, even if I wasn't going to get the time I wanted. Even if I went back 5 more times trying to get the perfect attempt, I'm positive that each time there would be something I didn't expect or plan for that would keep me from getting the perfect time. I'm glad to say that I have found my limit...I think every man should at least attempt to find their limit or really push themselves at some point in their life to see what they are made of...you learn a lot about yourself that's for sure and I have no regrets! Thanks James!
Yes it is!! I really don't consider my pain threshold to be that high...but it is unbelievable to me how much a little pain, or a lot, can influence a persons ablilty, mentally and physically! Thanks Chris!
Solid effort with the foot issues. My last 40mi day ended with terrible blisters and it drove me nuts. I was limping for the last few miles. Feeling for ya
Man…. Seeing the pain you’re in and still pushing is amazing. Great job figuring out on trail what was causing some of your issues. Can’t wait to see the final day!!
Ya my wife would be saying its all those artificial sweetners and everything! She doesn't like me having diet Mt Dew anymore or anything like that. Seemed like a good theory! I can't recall what you called it but that spot where you flashed some daylight footage looked like something out of a fairytale or fantasy novel! Some of these areas are so gorgeous I'd have a hard time sliding through them so quickly.
What's crazy is that all those sweetners that I mentioned are the base ingredients to all those engineered racing fuels that athletes use around the world. I think they're great for short efforts of 1-2 days but not 3 days and more, gotta start fueling with normal healthy ingredients to be at your best at that point. That Cumberland Falls section is definitely one of the best sections on the Trace!
Most men would have given up by now with all the pain and swelling but not Jason wish you are truly amazing

The end is in sight! You must have a real tolerance for pain. Great Job!

Rooting for you Jason! Good luck and godspeed.
Thanks! I'll keep on pushin hard!

I was fortunate to not get any blisters on this attempt...they certainly can have a huge impact on a high mileage day. Thanks Steve!

I wish could have discoved the problems sooner and maybe I could have went sub 6 days...live and learn!
Another great video Jason!
