    I love how when Walmsley would run past people, they would just stop and look at each other with a WTF look on their face!

    Runner one "what was that!?"
    Runner two "that's what you call a Jim Walmsley"
    Runner two goes on to explain...
    "Part man... part goat... 300+ horsepower"

    I was totally walking that section. I started late, and all those footsteps just got slushier and slushier.

      Pushing limits and boundaries, it's inspiring. Thanks for the great channel and footage, motivational in every aspect!!

      I know for certain the top 2 guys behind Jim, figured he would blow up and not finish, when they kept hearing how far ahead he was. The runners behind him, know you have to run slower, when your in 100 plus all out sun weather.
      Had Walmsley played it smart, and really slowed it down in the heat, along with takin more measures to help his body counter the heat, he would have EASILY won this race.
      No disrespect to Walmsley, but you have to play it smart in every way, when your running unprotected from trees, for a lot of miles, in 95-105 heat. Hopefully he will figure out how to combat the heat much better next time, if he runs this race again.
      Jim is clearly one of the top in the world. I would like to see him race Kilian Jornet in one of the Mont Blonc races...UTMB/CCC. That would be an incredible showdown.

    Looks like he may win Western States this year.

      The guy is just out of this world- he may shake out to be the greatest athlete of our time.

      Did he even finish? I don't see his name of the results board.

      @treytreytrey Před 6 lety

      Nate L He didn’t. He dropped due to nausea. He’ll get the perfect run someday, though.

      Nice, I just mentioned that in a different aspect. I would love to see them square off in the Mont Blonc long distance mountain race....known as the UTMB or CCC.
