Thanks for sharing this race, we are thinking of doing this race as our first 50 miler and you did a good job to help convince us to take the plunge! Congrats on pushing through to the finish line!
Thank you! I drove 8 hours the next day after the race, getting home, but I paid the price. I ended up getting a blood clot on my leg and it took me a few months to recover. I should have dropped out of the race. I'm running the Moab Trail marathon on November 4th, and I'll be videotaping it of course. The Behind the Rocks races are fun and Moab is a great place to race. Have fun there and good luck. I've ran the 50-mile race too...enjoy Jacob's ladder!
Wow Craig!!! Your cinematography of this race is fantastic!!! It was just like I was there seeing what you saw! Amazing!! So glad you made it to the finish!! Your a true warrior for sure!! This gets me thinking about coming up from Phoenix next year to do it (50k). Hope your knee gets to feeling better! Take care!
Thank you! I use a DJI Omso Pocket 2 for all of my videos. The aerial shots were done with a DJI Mavic Air 2. I use Shotcut, a free software for editing my videos. I really enjoy using my Pocket 2...it's so small and easy to use.
@@drhenderson40 desertrats.utmb.world/ I've done the 50k distance and this is a great race and not too hard for your first ultra...and it's only about 4 1/2 hours away from where you live. I also did a video of this race.
Congratulations, Craig! What a strong finish! Amazing job!
Thank you!
Great video! Just signed up for this as my first 50K.
@@Valaran1 Awesome! That one was my first ultra . Have fun

Beautiful!
Nice work! Glad you finished!
Thank you! However...I am still paying the price. My knee is still a bit sore and I have my next 50k race on 4-16. Hopefully I'll be good by then.
Wonderful job !!
Thank you! Despite the injury and pain to my knee during the race...it was fun!
Amazing Craig 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Craig, I admire the quality of your videos, would you mind sharing any information about the type of camera and other equipment you use?

First!
Have you done the arches 50k ? I’m trying to decide which one for my first ultra.
In 2019 I started the Arches 50k, but dropped out at mile 15 after pulling my hamstring, so I didn't see much of the course Where do you live?
@@CODistanceRunner I live in rock springs Wyoming.

@@CODistanceRunner thank you! I will definitely give it a go. I have family that is not far
