Kodiak 50K in Big Bear California. I hadn't trained for it so my strategy was to go out hard and hopefully cling on in the second half. It kinda worked.
Thanks Tadeusz, ha ha, you’re right, the shades are very SoCal 😂😂. Glad to be back myself. Two of my big loves are racing and making videos so hopefully I can continue to eek out the time amidst all the other things going on.
Thanks Sandra. This video went together pretty quickly so I really have no excuse and I do love the process. A few more busy months ahead but already the ideas for new videos I could make are creeping into my subconscious mind. FMTR is only getting started 💪🏃🏻♂️🇮🇪
Thanks Tom. As we say in Ireland “I’m back, but I’m not back back” 😂 Still that video went together pretty fast so I have no excuse really for the next one in 6 weeks 👍
Thanks Alan, I know, it’s been a while, right? It will probably continue to be sporadic over to coming months as I wind down over here in The States…but after that?? Watch out world here I come 😂😂
Love this channel. Definitely think it's better than the 1.6K subscribers would indicate. Just one comment: I think a camera upgrade could really help you. I watch a lot of ultra-running channels and these days all the popular ones have extremely stabilised footage with amazing colours.
Thanks for the kind comment and, more importantly, for the honest feedback. Yeah this video in particular had some serious shake going on. I think i was out of practice with the video making process. I have a few more busy months with work but i will be able to put a much bigger emphasis on my FMTR channel after that. I have exciting plans that should see the improvements you have mentioned incorporated into future videos. Thanks again for watching 👍
Great video! Shame the fires caused the courses to be moved. They essentially reused the same courses as the summer Holcomb Valley trail series the race director also runs. I ran this course last June and there are some great views. It looks like though the UTMB version has much better aids stations! Hopefully they'll be able to get back to the original courses in 2025.
Thanks. Yeah it was unfortunate the course needed to be moved. The original course looked like one very interesting big loop out of, and back into, Big Bear Village. At least the show still went on. Thanks for commenting 👍
Great to see you back posting a race video again. Was missing them. Feel like I'm there with you when I watch them. Keep em coming.
Thanks Kate. Was good to crank out a video after such a long break from FMTR. More to come 👍
It's a great day! A new FMTR video. Well done Dave.
Ha ha thank you, I appreciate the support. I see plenty more videos to be made on the horizon so hang tight because we’re in for a bumpy ride 😂😂
I see you're really getting into the Cali vibe with those shades, nice to see you back racing.

Great run Dave! Delighted to see a FMTR video🤗🤗🤗

Glad to see you back! Well done looked like a lovely trail... fairly different looking than our djouce boardworks!
Thanks Joan. I look forward to getting back on those sleepers again ❤️ and making more videos. The time is coming…watch this space 😉

Thank you, you’re right, clearly I wasn’t trying hard enough 😂😂 Glad to be back making videos though. I really enjoy the process 👍

Great job
Thank’s for that, looking back on the video I think it makes it look easier than it actually was 🥵
