  • What's up my beautiful people!? I'm so excited to finally share my Leadville 100 experience with y'all! Exactly a month ago today I finished running the furthest I've ever run before. I knew I wanted my first time running 100 miles and my first ever ultramarathon to be at Leadville after listening to Born to Run on my run across the country and was so grateful to the Leadville race series for the opportunity to experience something so amazing. If you get the chance please run this race! Special, special thanks to my crew, pacers, leadville race series, and everyone out there supporting at this year's Leadville 100! PS. this is my longest video yet!! Hope y'all enjoy!

    13:29 23.5 miles in and Hellah is the kind of guy to ask how his crew is doing. That's when you know you're watching a genuinely good guy. Proud of you Hellah.

    I love his empathy, as he was talking about how easy for men to relieve ourself and the women had to wait in long lines. Other words they was losing time. He is so aware of others. Love this dude.

    Bro your team is incredible. Saw the point when you were you were pushing beyond your “limitations” and your team asked all the right questions and gave you perfect comfort, and when you weren’t thinking about the details they automatically stepped in and made you aware of things. You guys have an amazing team.

    Amazing video! So much care being shown by everyone involved, truly what makes this community special. It really brought me back too. Mt. Hope was the first major peak I climbed on one of my first backpacking trips. Over a dozen 14ers and several races later, it remains one of the hardest and most humbling things I've ever done.

    This was so cool. I grew up in Empire, CO, and my plan is to run the Leadville 100 before I turn 50. I’m so stoked for you to have finished this. I was listening to it while I did my run this morning, and had to stop and check because I SWORE I heard Courtney’s voice. How cool was that, at the end of an epic adventure?!? You’re a beast. Can’t wait to watch more of your adventures. Congratulations on this finish.

Man, your crew was on point! As we like to say in our community, "it takes a village." My favorite quote from you: "I got myself in some crazy shit!" made me laugh because I said something similar during my first ultra. 🤣 Love you man! The video is awesome right up there with my guy Billy Yang, my favorite trail running videographer!

    Not trying to take anything away from you. You did something I could never do, but its crazy how big a help your team of people has got to be. Doing this with just one person would be much slower and probably not have a massage with it. Gotta be some true greats doing it just for doing it without recording any of it (which again I'm glad y'all recorded this)
