Hey thanks man! Congrats on your finish too! Wild that you are running ultras at 17. Super impressive, keep it up!

@@journeyrunningThanks man! I hope to see you at a race someday!

Lol thanks Chad. It's a beautiful one, highly recommend!

Thanks man! Yeah this is a fun one. The new course is pretty epic!

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply! I can do a video on this. I'm also a Registered Dietitian, so nutrition is my forte, but give me some time. I'm in the process of revamping my coaching business, after which I plan on releasing a lot more content!

Thank you!

Thanks man 🥰

Thank you!

Yes - it's beautiful out there. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing you run your first 200 too :)

lol thanks for tuning in Chad!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm not sure if everything else is "easier," life is hard! But you certainly gain more confidence in yourself to do hard things when you finish a 200 miler!

Thank you! Good luck at Bigfoot in 2024! You've got some grit to go back for a fourth try. Shoot me a DM if you want to talk 200's or anything that might help you prep for it. Best of luck!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks man! Happy you enjoyed it!

Hi Eric, sorry I just saw this. We got our GPX file from trailrunproject.com at the link below. Hope your trek went well! www.trailrunproject.com/trail/7054598/cottonwood-creek-trail-861

Thank you!

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed watching!

Thank you!

Thanks man! It was beautiful out there. I was a bit surprised when that knee pain started in the late 70's.. It took away a lot of my momentum but happy I was able to finish!

Thanks again man! Really appreciate it!

Thanks man! Right back at ya!

Thanks man! Appreciate the support! Happy running to you as well!

Thanks for listening! Happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the support! And good luck at San Diego 100 next year!

Thanks man! What's your first 100 going to be?

Lol thank you! Lots of training and experience I guess. And eating... food keeps the wheels churning!

Thanks for the feedback Dave. Happy you found this helpful. Good luck at MM if you end up running it this year!

Hey - the best solution I've found is lots of sock and shoe changes. Looking back I should have either stopped at an aid station at Bighorn to let me feet, shoes and socks dry at a campfire. Or I should have changed shoes and socks 1-2 times. I think what happened to me could have been avoided but you live and learn. As a side note, I started using XOSkin socks which help. Roadrunner socks are solid too. But if you experience frequent blisters, I might also consider taping and lubing your feet pre-race. Hope that helps!

Hi - we completed the trail in 7 days, which averages out to about 25 miles per day. There were a few longer water carries but nothing too bad. We never ran out of water with lots of snowmelt in June. I would recommend downloading the TRT map on Farout/Guthook (whatever you refer to it as) to check on water sources, which will change depending on time of year you hike the trail.

Bighorn is not a lottery but it does sell out relatively fast. I believe registration opens in the summer/fall and sells out by the spring? But I'm not really sure. No application to run but it's a tough one so I'd still recommend going in with some ultra experience and experience running in hot temps. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately not everyone is as fast as you Dave 😂

Lol, it sounds like there has been a lot of snow in Tahoe this winter. Some of the snow drifts (not shown in the video cause we were busy trying not to slide down them) were pretty sketchy to cross. A little later in the season might be better next summer for sure.

Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed it! Good luck in June!

Hi Chris, I think you'll be fine on the TRT, even if you don't like heights. This was my first thru-hike and it was a great experience. I would consider most, if not all of the trail to be class 1 terrain. There are no cliffs on the TRT. That said, in June when there is still snow, there were a few very short sections (namely when the TRT intersects the CDT) when snow drifts are steep and can be a bit dangerous to cross when there is a drop off on one side. You might want to consider hiking the trail late June/early July to avoid that.

Thank you Chad! There is something about running through the night and seeing two sunrises during a race that is special. I highly recommend doing it, even if it's just like hiking through the night, not necessarily in a race. Also, Joel was a great pacer. He kept the conversations interesting and me awake for sure! I recommend having a caffeine strategy before an event if you will be up all night though.

Thanks Curtis and congrats on your finish too! That must have been scary being on that section with storms in full force. I got dumped on during that section but no hail or lightening.

Thank you! And congrats to your son! There are not many ultrarunners with multiple 100-mile race finishes so that is very impressive!

Yo man! Just watched the Mogollon video. I am signed up for this years race. I would love some advice on it. Im a well trained ultra distance guy. I just ran the black canyon 100k. This will be my first 100miler

@@travisradevski Just seeing this comment. I made a podcast episode (also on RUclips) about Mogollon. I outline the course and advice for tackling the race pretty thoroughly there. Here's the link to the youtube video, but you can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple podcast, etc. if you want to listen while driving or cooking or something lol. ruclips.net/video/iGqfi7Ttu3w/видео.html

Thank you and congrats on your finish as well! That was a super tough course but a lot of fun and the buckle was well worth it. Props to you for gutting it out, even if it took a little longer!

Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed it! Happy running to ya!

lol thanks man. Not sure if the ultrarunning talk is up your alley but appreciate you tuning in!

Hi David, thanks for following along! I really appreciate the positive feedback. Also, those are some awesome routes and races you are doing! Good luck with your running journey and let me know if you have any questions about any of those routes!

Hey - our TRT hike was June 9 - 15 this year. There was a decent amount of snow going counterclockwise up Relay Peak and when the TRT met the PCT. A bit cold some nights but overall a good time of year to go. Would recommend spikes if you go this time of year in the future.

Hi Lu, thanks for watching and happy you enjoyed the video! The Bear is so tough but so beautiful and the community that puts on the race is inspiring. I am hoping to go back within the next few years as well, maybe see you there!

Thank you! And LOL, it was quiet on the track but there were a few volunteers on the lookout for finishers. Hard to blame people for not wanting to be up at before 5am on their Sunday though haha
