    Fantastic that you were able to finish loop 1 and part on loop 2. You have such a great care free attitude ! It was actually cool to see video on the course !

      "Your channel is my new Netflix" Thanks!!
      I would suggest if not seen already to go for "Journey", "Discover" and "crossing" in that order. The Tor des Géants video is quite unique too.
      Cheers, thanks for watching!

      +Brent H absolutly. I wanted to share the psychological experience, not the trails.

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks! After talking with people in camp, it is not really representative of the usual mood of runners. Hence why the "How you really sure you ran Barkley?"
      No idea why it did that to me, but I take it :)

    • @airman9820
      @airman9820 7 лет назад +1

      That was just american humor Guillaume Arthus. When you said you enjoyed the race. His reply of Are you sure you ran the Barkley was because saying you enjoyed it was not typical.

  • @honzikck82

    @annickm4207 7 лет назад +2

    You have an amazing spirit and went in with such a happy attitude!! Est-ce que la course est connue en France? I noticed you didn't have trekking poles and that surprised me. Well done on a stellar effort!! Was nice to see you in the Ginger Runner Live Show chat room as well!

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад +1

      Annick M the race is very famous here.
      No poles indeed. I removed them from my runs about 2 years ago to improve my strenght. For Barkley, I was also concern it could actually be an handicap.

    Cela fait plaisir de voir un jeune champion avec un mental très fort. Au deuxième tour, les jambes n'ont pas suivi la tête, dommage.

    His choice of outerwear was perfect. Protecting yourself from the elements and terrain is crucial to staying more comfortable. Also having new footwear every loop. And a shower and massage also.

    Were you allowed to film this? I heard it's not allowed to film on course.

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад

      Lennart Zegerius please read the disclamer.

    • @lzz288
      @lzz288 7 лет назад

      Oh my bad, I seriously downloaded your video right after my comment so I could rewatch it if it wasn't allowed. Great video!

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад

      No problem :) I was sure it was something like that :)

    Could that guy at the registration table have been less enthusiastic about your plate? Great attempt. Sorry you had to drop out.

    • @nunyabizness6812
      @nunyabizness6812 6 лет назад +1

      He's always that way. That's Laz. He's just a very mellow and laid back man, at least the persona who greets the racers. That man who accepted the license plate is the man who CREATED the race, and participated in many extremely difficult races himself when he was younger.

  • @randyholloway920

    Not sure why he quit, he was moving well, etc

    • @runnexplorer

      Not fast enough to be able to complete the 2nd loop in time.

    Curious to know what headlamp you're using here. Thank!

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад

      I was using a Ferei HL50II with a deported battery pack. 2200 lumens max but used at 1100 lumens for 8.6 hours autonomy.

  • @michaelmartin5186
    @michaelmartin5186 7 лет назад

    Just curious but how come at 4:13 or so when we see your watch it isn't one of the watches provided by Laz.

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад

      Michael Martin ? it actually is.

    • @michaelmartin5186
      @michaelmartin5186 7 лет назад

      Ok sorry for the confusion u did great on your attempt any plans to go back?

    • @runnexplorer

      yes, with proper training this time.

    How do I get invited to the race??

    • @nunyabizness6812
      @nunyabizness6812 6 лет назад

      You must have experience as an elite runner of trails. You must have the mental fortitude to endure extreme weather and hazards. I think you can email Laz directly to inquire about joining the Barkley.

  • @jasonkeith162

    You were allowed to bring a camera on your loops?

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад +1

      KonkinWasRight please read the disclaimer.

    • @KonkinWasRight
      @KonkinWasRight 7 лет назад

      Are you referring to the "disclaimer" in this video's description? I did read it. My question was, are you ALLOWED to bring a camera during your loops? From my understanding, Laz does not allow that and it would disqualify you. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm just curious.

    • @runnexplorer
      @runnexplorer  7 лет назад +2

      I was working with RTBF on this, which were allowed by Laz for very specific location to film some part of the course. Anytime you see the trails in this video are part of those locations.

    • @KonkinWasRight
      @KonkinWasRight 7 лет назад +1

      Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification.
