    I don't care if he comes first, third or last. I admire Anton not for his talent, but for his passion ... Running, cycling, climbing ... Pure inspiration. Congratulations on your return, mate.

    Billy Yang, crushes it with another awesome documentary.

  • @philippelahaussedelalouvie6107

    To achieve a time just 6 minutes slower than the time he did 15 years previously - WOW! How many ultrarunners can do that?? Keep truckin' Anton, you're a role model..

    So great to see Anton back in the Ultra scene! He’s been such an inspiration to me over the years. Billy Yang, you’ve knocked it out of the park again with this film, congratulations to you and Anton

    He seems so much more grounded and mature in this doc as compared to the Western States doc from a decade ago. Cool to see his evolution.

    At first when I heard the music I thought, this isn't like other Billy Yang stuff. Then, at the end when Anton talked about what kind of music he was into, it made so much sense. I the idea of reserving that until the end. Made me go for the rewatch right away!

    In memory of his mother, that stopped me in my tracks, so I had to go read her obituary. He comes from an amazing family, so it makes sense that he would be an amazing individual!
    Thank you, Billy, for making a beautiful quality film!

    First tears when he discussed his injuries. I ran this race this year. And reliving it through billies eyes is nothing short of magical. I struggled with IT band issues starting at mile 23 and suffered til mile 97.3 when I hit the 30hr cutoff. Good job Anton, it’s inspiring to know how long you have worked through your issues. I will do the same.

    Great job Billy and Anton. As an aging back of the pack 50km runner who’s best (aka mediocre, non competitive) days are long gone and most of my 40s lost to long term injury, I admit to being emotionally invested in Anton’s return. It’s just great to see him healthy enough to finish Leadville again and feels like the sport has found a jigsaw piece that was missing.

    Love seeing Anton back out there, I used to watch Unbreakable (The Western States 100) almost on loop when I first got in to ultra running, this just felt right. I follow Anton on Strava so I see the work he puts in, seems so grounded now. Great doc Billy.
