    I ran the Squamish 50 mile ultramarathon with the best support crew. What an incredible day. Epic course designed by Gary Robbins and awesome vibes from everyone out there on the day. If you want to live life in a day, run an ultra.
    Key takeaways
    1) Success is always or step further than the point when you most want to quit.
    2) When you think your legs have nothing left, that’s them just getting into the groove.
    3) Enjoy the moment, the pain is temporary so pull yourself out of that dark place and be present.
    4) When you think you can't go further, push a bit more, the breakthrough miles are just around the corner
    5) Just because you start the race with a niggle, doesn't mean you'll finish with it
    Aid station tips
    1) Pack a chair
    2) Support crews must have a dog
    3) Changing socks saves the feet
    4) Vaseline on toes stops blisters
    Special thanks to
    Jess for being the most awesome support crew.
    Mike for cruising about filming, driving and being great support.
    Other Mike for knowing all the right things to say in aid station 7.
    Cozy for the mid race tail wags.
    Gary Robbins for designing an amazing course and cultivating an unforgettable atmosphere.
    The volunteers and supporters on the course.
    Jack for pulling the heaps of footage together.
    Katie for the endless support and for her feedback when making the videos.

    Absolutely loved this vid, appreciated you showing not just your face and what was going on but also what the terrain was like (technical can mean various things to this newby). Well done you! Music and your friends rounded it out perfectly.

    Amazing job! Squamish 50 looks so fun. My favorite part is when you said you felt better at 11 hours than the start!! Runners high is the best :)

      Squamish 50 is so much fun! For the most part haha. Yeah the runners high and whatever is going on physiologically there is phenomenal. How magnificent our bodies are

    Great video and great work getting the 50 miler done! That’s me walking by all shaky and confused with my family during your finish line interview. I somehow I got up the next morning and did most of it again!

      @@NikRunTheHills Bad! I very nearly gave in to the powerful urge to stay in bed on Sunday morning. My IT band on the right side gave up just past Quest on day one, so it was very tough to get into a running stride after that. I could still hike hard though and it got me to the finish line to complete the 50/50. Thanks so much to you and your crew for putting this vid together. I got to relive my amazing experience as I watched yours!

      @@roughingminor well done for powering through! You'd already won just getting to the start line. Thanks for taking the time to watch it and sharing a comment. Maybe see you at a future Squamish 50!
