Cascade Crest 100 - 2024

A classic 100 mile trail run in Washington's Cascade Mountains. The race started well but ended up not going entirely according to plan, with hot weather causing challenges.

Awesome job on a hot day! I think that’s the most I’ve seen of that course, the view on that last climb is stunning

[@patrickhaunschmidt]

Thanks so much. It is certainly a beautiful course.

I deeply appreciate your ability to remain calm and work through the discomfort and uncertainty. Such a reflection of life. Well done, my friend.

[@patrickhaunschmidt]

Thanks, I really appreciate that.
So much depends on the mindset you choose to adopt.

Congratulations! CCC100 is a tough course, especially in the heat! The views from Thorp make it worth (imo)

[@patrickhaunschmidt]

New subscriber here! Such a beautiful course and very inspiring for my up-and-coming and first 100 miler (UTE 100). Thank you for sharing this with us and congratulations on a solid finish!

Nice work with this video and the run! I finished just over an hour behind you and sure struggled in the heat too! Congrats

Sick hat !
What race was harder ?

[@patrickhaunschmidt]

Thanks! I’m always buying hats at the merch table!
I wore both a FatDog120 and WAM100 hat in this race. I’d say both of those were technically harder - FatDog has an extra 20miles and a good amount more elevation. WAM had a whole lot more elevation. But I struggled with a longer low at Cascade Crest. But that’s why we sign up for these things - for the challange.
