    Just caught your video for the first time, well done on both the finishes and the great race video recap!

      Thanks, Gary! We'll be seeing you again real soon for the Squamish 50/50. Didn't get enough torture in Whistler!

    Thanks for making this video and posting it! I had a suspicion that I'd want to do take a crack at WAM 55K and your video has definitely confirmed that, it looks AWESOME (and I imagine I too will feel toasted the next day) :-)

      You should definitely do it! It's an outstanding and challenging race.

    Wow, this one gave me chills! Both, because of the views and also, because I know how much climbing sucks and the incredible pain that you went through. Well done video and great job, guys!

    Well, that looked like an insanely challenging race. Congrats on finishing. The scenery was awesome. So glad to see you guys back on TH-cam.

    You both are awesome. Ran for the first time over 4 miles yesterday...did 18. A friend is trying to talk me into joining her on a 50 mile race. 18 almost killed me! Great to see your videos again!

    Wow that was an intense race for you both but yes, so beautiful!! Also, Woo! So excited to see you two! Just between me and you, you're my fave people to watch on TH-cam. Not sure if it's because you're not around enough for me to get sick of you or because you two are absolutely hilarious and completely endearing! But its prob the hilarious and endearing tho! :D ♡♡♡

    Another great video guys and congrats on finishing. Looks like a really awesome and hard race. Keep the excellent work coming guys. Were you guys using a GoPro for filming? Cheers

      Thank you! It was a true challenge and unlike any other ultra we've run, but so beautiful. Yes I was using a GoPro session

    Really good to see you guy back on the road again such a cool video! How did you make out with the airstream repairs?

    • @JustinRussell
      @JustinRussell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Finally got the Airstream fixed in Eugene, OR. Great RV service guy here who fixed everything beautifully!

    Awesome video! You both are amazing runners. What did it take to repair the airstream after the tire shredding incident? John (in Colorado)

    • @JustinRussell
      @JustinRussell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      We got the Airstream fixed by a guy in Eugene, OR. He did tremendous work and really helped us out for a great price too!

    Wow... sounds like torture. But damn, you finished. Very impressive. I couldn’t have ever done that, not even when I was your age!

    To me it came as a surprise to hear you recommend this race. During the race I hear a lot of complaining, especially about the climbs. I think you both will probably have more fun participating in a half marathon (21K) on flat terrain!

    • @JustinRussell
      @JustinRussell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ultras are in almost all cases Type 2 fun. This race is the most difficult race I've ever done. I used to run fast flat marathons / halfs, but switched to ultra mountain running a few years ago. A race isn't worth doing unless it challenges you in some way. This race challenged us mentally and physically, hence why we recommend it.

  • @bpetersson5024

    its great scenery almost anywhere at WHistler but it doesn't look like either of you enjoyed the race!? obviously, training for it would help but if you are totally trashed after 25K, maybe your expectations are a bit unrealistic..

    • @JustinRussell
      @JustinRussell  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We did enjoy it quite a lot and trained relatively well considering the area we live in. Gary's race's are always incredibly difficult and we like to show the lows as well as the highs. If you recall the end of the video says it was "Awesome and worth it." Challenging yourself is what makes ultras so worthwhile. Our expectations were exactly what we signed up for.
