  • From May 13th-15th of 2022, I ran the Cruel Jewel 100. With 33,000 feet of elevation gained and lost over the span of 106 grueling miles through the Chattahoochee Forest of North Georgia, this race isn’t for the faint of heart! In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Cruel Jewel course and dig into my experience tackling one of the most daunting ultramarathons in the United States!

    Loved your video, Father! I am running the 50 mile cruel jewel this weekend and so encouraged by your words. Thank you!

    Nice recap. I second the "trying to find the final water drop aid station"... it was so frustrating. I luckily linked up with a 50 mile finisher after Firepit, and she guided me the final 20+ miles. Nice seeing you there, and hope to link up again at another 100. Be well. Tim

    At the start of the race (10:33) I'm about 10 feet in front of you wearing the blue shirt and holding the GoPro! I just checked my race recap vid and you make an appearance there too lol.
    Awesome recap, this was one hell of a race and that buckle is no joke.

    • @messinwithzacksquatch

      I feel like I saw you a handful of times out on the course in the early stages, probably at aid stations. As soon as you uploaded your vid a few weeks back, I was instantly like "oh hey, the dude with the mustache!" haha.
      I'm sure I'll see you out on the trails somewhere again, man. Blessings!

      Haha I got so busy in the weeks after the race. I recorded commentary as quickly as I could before I forgot everything, though. Finally had a chance to do some quick editing over the past week or so.
