BURNING RIVER 100 - Through the Storm

- Let's get down to it, this race was a rough one. Nutrition problems again, hours and hours or rain, and an old injury creeping back up to make this a much harder 100 miler than it should have been. Follow along as I give this one my best, and stick around to the end to find out what I'm doing next!

Thanks for posting. My son was running the day too and he wasn't filming at all. This was really a gift to be able to actually see what you all were going thru out there. Thank YOU so much for taking the time to share this. Greatly appreciated.
Been watching your videos for awhile now,and I'll be running my first 50 miler at the Indiana Trail race this year
Same story for me. See you at the start!
Hi Ryan, Tim here, I met you on the trail that day around mile 37-40 right before the aid station. I know you had a tough day but I’m super happy to hear you say you were going back out again!! You will succeed and if you want company for pacing I’m happy to help. You got this !!
Trail running has the best people. This message is further proof. Good on ya, Tim!
See you at IT! It'll be my first 100 after a couple 50s. I would love to meet you for a training run if you get out there.
Respect for showing this side of running when it's not going the way intended, the self reflection and the route to recovery. Hope you will share the adjustment of your nutrition once the problem is solved. Although this will not save you from extreme weather conditions and physical/human limitations. You are an awesome runner. Don't forget that !
Haven’t seen your videos in awhile. I left ultras/trail running a few years ago due to too many reoccurring ankle injuries. I still miss it but I still enjoy seeing your videos.
Thanks for sharing your journey and struggles. We're all rooting for you. Can't wait to see how the Indiana Trail 100 goes. Keep moving forward!
I was locked in from start to finish. Incredible man.
Thank you for all the transparency. So many of us can relate and you are right, the unknown is part of the draw of the sport!
Ultra running on trails is tough already and then add weather. Way to tough it out! All the best in the next race!
Was hoping for a rally, as you were, too, but you walked away uninjured and still loving the Rubix cube that is ultramarathoning. That’s awesome, too.
Wow, the intro on this video is chilling. Amazing video. Race looked brutal. Nutrition is really something we're all still trying to figure out and maybe we always will be. Good job my man!
Best of luck with the nutrition challenges and with the training for the next 100! Trying to race in those awful conditions is no fun. Thanks for filming so much of the race while feeling lousy. Well done!
Was at the race and can confirm the rain was brutal - still take pride in what you accomplished! Theres always another race!
Nutrition is the king.
Please update us with your nutrition plan. Best of Luck Man. Love Watching Your Videos.
Dude!!! Enjoyed watching your BR experience. I had a very similar race out at Never Summer. Video to follow soon.
Always enjoy your videos Ryan, watched them all. Hopefully I'll see you at the IT100 and you accomplish what you want out of it this year!
Ran the 50 in 2021 and it was similar start - pouring rain, high creek crossings. My feet were hamburger meat by the end. Loved the race though. Definitely will go back
Good luck @IT100!!! Loved doing that ultra !! Best 100 in the Midwest and best food!!!
Completely understand what you went through. DNFed my first 50 miler: head wasn’t in the right place from the start, rain was torrential from the start and the trail quickly became unrunnable for us mid-packers. Took it as a training run and learning experience just like you have done.
Great effort! It was no joke out there. 2023 BR was my first 50 finish. I’ve been following you a while on UA-cam. It was cool to see you out at a local race.
Gnaw Bone muddy....yes! Did my first Marathon there in 2014 when it rainednthe first 3 hours and my 8 hour finish time was 3rd AG. Those conditions are ROUGH.
Thank-you for making this video!!! It’s true - we never really know what the outcome will be!!! I have had some VERY disappointing races and some very rewarding races. We just do the best we can!!! ❤️
Great intro. Love the music in the intro too. Love the advice from the crew guy about how it doesn’t need to be a PR day. That resonated with me so much.
We all have those moments were we feel down or that the race isn’t going right.
I never talk about mine to anybody. I push the negative feelings way down deep inside a mason jar, screw the lid on tight and bury those mason jars in the backyard of my brain.
Do you ever feel that narrating these problems can make them worse?
you did great and you are authentic hope the rest of your training goes well !
ohhhh Ryan, that was a SUFFERFEST 🫣 Those conditions looked terrible. Good luck with the nutritionalist. I'd be very surprised if the root cause wasn't an electrolyte imbalance. Look forward to hearing more ✌
Found your channel when I was training a lot a few years back and doubt you remember me but I was always asking about how you liked listening to Dune. But on topic, really loved what you were about. Between life and other circumstances getting in the way I fell off from 60mi a week to nothing. I’m finally getting back out there and decided to watch your stuff again. This was a great video and definitely has my fire burning again. Thanks for some inspiration
Hey Ryan! Love this video! As somebody that has tried and failed the same 100 mile race 4 times, one of which was just as rainy as this one, I can feel your pain! Way to push through to the halfway point, especially with that much rain and humidity that is extra rough!
Thank You for ALL that you are and ALL that you do!!! YOU WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!!!!!!
Thank for your vulnerability and keeping it real! Glad you have another race to look forward to!! You’ve got this!
See you at the IT 100!!! I am doing the 50 for my first ultra. Your videos are so inspiring!
Always love your videos! Inspiring to follow along with you. Keep it up man!
Thanks for the vid! I was on the struggle bus early. It was a good closure for me watching how the event unfolded. Can relate
Excellent video! I was out there as well. I actually spotted myself in the video. The early miles were tougher than usual. That downpour wasn't messing around! Good luck at the IT100. Looking forward to your next video.
What a crazy race and adventure with the rain, the trail conditions, fueling issues, etc. Way to stay positive! Loved every minute of this video!
This is an awesome video. I give you credit for putting yourself out there time and time again. You are definitely a creative genius with the high level of content that you deliver. Major props for getting after it. Best of luck at IT 100. I have Hallucination 100 in two weeks. Super stoked…. Keep hammering!
Good luck!
Great video and brutal race conditions. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Reminds me of being in the field at Joint Base Lewis McChord and the rain never stopped. Way to tough it out! Best of luck on the next one
Great video, really felt bad for you when it was raining! Hope the nutritionist works out! More videos please! You are awesome!
This brought me back. I ran this last year and couldn’t record anything because I would fall everytime I didn’t focus
Hi Ryan, every run is a journey mate, short or long. Your getting info on your nutrition which is great. Physio on your knee and rest (Yoga). I recommend and 80-20 training, and you’ll be cool. I enjoy your videos they have great content mate. Listen to your body and give it love, and your mind will be in a more positive place, focus Ryan you know what you need to do! Take care & stay safe. Al. 👍🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️.
Bro! Super proud of you! If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
great film! and great to see you overcome the blues.
G’day Ryan,
Thanks for the video. Loving your content all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 can’t wait to see your progress going fwd. Good luck, hope you smash it mate!! 👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks for posting, Ryan. I've been curious about the adventure you had ever since I saw your splits and ending at 50 at Burning River...nothing was "burning " in that race, it was all waterlogged. Yikes. Hope this new nutrition plan can truly get at root cause for your gut issues. Good on you getting that input. Keep your spirits up, God is faithful, you have many gifts, rejoice in all that. Pleased you'll be taking on the IT100 again...closer to home and very familiar turf at Chain O' Lakes. Persevere!!!!
oh man! Sorry you had a rough race. I know exactly how you feel with the nutrition issue and can't get any thing down, including water. I feel very weak and just out of it. I am still out of it, I still haven't done my Cruel Jewel 100 video yet. Great effort and can't wait to see how you do at the IT100!
Awesome video and can’t wait to see the other side of the ultra coin, the amazing success on the heals of learning experiences 😄
You've done amazing to get that far... well done... onto the next one 💪
Love your videos your very inspiring
Good effort, bro! Those are some proper rainstorms!😳😰 Keep your head up, next one will be great! Great vid too, man!
Nice effort Ryan! That mud looked brutal.....
What a sufferfest man, that weather was fkd from the getgo. Way to grind it out for as long as possible
Couldn't agree with Matt more. The intro to this video was sooo good. Sorry about the race. But thanks for making these videos
Now that’s a tough start. Wow.
You told a good story 🙏
Good luck with the nutrition puzzle. I have similar experiences - miles 35-55 always involve some sort of puke fest despite trying different fueling strategies. My legs are not tired but my stomach nearly ends my races. Curious to see how the nutrition coach changes you up.
You got to start eating actual real food at aid stations versus just drinks and gels cause that clearly isn't working for you lately from the last few races. Might needs to go with chews, or bars or candy between aid stations to help and give up on the gels for awhile.
This was just a brutal conditions for any type of race. Rest up, recover and time for a change up on nutrition and getting more training in for next races.
If you are having problems with your calf on every run, you might not have a calf strain, it could be a stress fracture of your fibula. I have had a stress fracture on each of my fibulas and it feels a lot like a calf strain. It might be worth checking it out. Sorry the race didn't end the way you wanted. You seem to have the worst luck with these Midwest ultras and severe rainstorms.
Ran the front 50 this year. Weather was definitely not ideal, but oh what an adventure it was.
well done on your effort but have to say, that mud wasn't that bad, you can still see some skin! Come to Blighty, we'll show you mud. 😂
Just wondering how the calf is feeling
Have you tried higher electrolytes? It's possible your body is rejecting the water due to low sodium. Have you tried broth to get high doses of sodium when you start to feel sick? Not sure that's the problem but might be worth a shot.
This should be renamed "The Misery Index 100". Don't know how you toughed it out through all that.
Get em next time! See you in Mohican next year!
