    I’m a big fan of your videos! It’s way better than reading race reports. I’ve signed up for 2024 and I felt more prepared and trying to think of similar terrains to train for in the bay area! Great job, Wes!

      In 2017 I volunteered at the Ohlone 50K in San Jose CA. My Aid Station captain was the experienced and wise Chuck Wilson. He told me a Henry Ford quote and put it in the context of ultrarunning: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.” A positive outlook not only helps move towards a finish, but also makes it more fun, even when it isn't fun. Thanks for watching Steve!

      Thanks for watching, this was a good day. I hope you enjoy the others on the channel too. I often want the race to be over the moment it starts, I say that specifically as I left the last AS in Cocodona 2022. The paradox of ultra running: It sucks when it starts, and it sucks when it ends. And then I can't wait to start again.

    Once again Wes….. what can I say - the footage was incredible 🙂👍🏃‍♂️ ( I knew it would be 😉)
    The waterfalls were definitely beautiful ! the trails were definitely quite technical. You did a super job with the video AND a Big Congratulations on your finish 😀🏃‍♂️👍. ….. it takes a lot more to hold a camera sharing photos / videos while running a 100k Trail race. Super that your wife is so supportive of you doing this and is definitely out there at your races.
    Keep em’ coming…..
    I noticed Path Projects is a sponsor??? My birthday is tomorrow (4th), and my wife asked what I wanted, pretty sure the
    Path Project Sykes Px - 7” classic shorts (2 pair 😬) are coming, and a base liner as well. First time owner of the shorts, so I’m looking forward to it 🙂. Once again, great video and Thank You for them 🙂👍

      @@ultradiabetic Yes! Planning, and also practice. Get out for long training runs in the nighttime to get comfortable with the darkness, with your gear, etc. And consider BOTH a headlamp and a waistlamp. I LOVE my UltrAspire Lumen 800 Multisport ultraspire.com/products/lumen-800-multisport-waist-light/
      The waistlamp illuminates the ground at your feet so you can avoid obstacles, then headlamp looks forward to illuminate what's ahead and sees course markers.

    Great video Wes. Crazy scenery and beautiful waterfalls especially the one you ran under. 👍 Just one quick question on these runs do you literally follow the limited markers or use a watch, phone or similar navigation device?

    • @wplate

      @@simonhodgson4941 Not seeing a trail doesn't happen very often. If there's an intersection or a questionable spot, it will be marked, but sometimes marking doesn't happen or is vandalized. Having the course on my phone makes it easy for me to feel confident if I haven't seen a marker in a while.

    Is it weird being right by a road the whole time (except for the one loop)? I hadn't really put that together when thinking of this course before.

    • @wplate
      @wplate  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did not expect so much highway proximity in the first 38 miles. Aside from the loop up and down among the waterfalls, we could often hear highway and train traffic. I believe a trail we could have used was washed out, so it is possible the future course will be different. After the Cascade Locks AS to Wyeth and back to Cascade Locks, that 20 mile out and back was away from highway noise. Still, it is a beautiful course!
