Great quality video man! And well done on the race!
Amazing video, great quality, extremely inspirational. WELL DONE ✨
Well done on the video, and your feat is inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Nice taking us along for the journey. Beautiful scenery and congrats on the finish.
Well done Wes! Enjoyed the journey with you.
I was there but I think you were ahead of me the whole race. I was running way behind and left my headlamp in my drop bag but the sun went down before I could reach my drop bag so I had to run alone in the dark before I found this group. This nice lady gave me a headlamp and a man gave me an extra shirt. I was so unprepared but the kindness from the other runners will stay with me forever.
Great story! This community is filled with heros and kind amazing people. This is a good reminder we should always carry spares, we never know who is going to need it.
Sweet video! .. I've only done 2 100K's and a 50K there, but the 100 miler is the goal. So fun to see all the different parts of the trail that I feel like I know by heart.
Beautiful trails! Sounds like you’re well on your way to the 100M! Have fun!
Thanks for all the inspiration Wes. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for checking out the back catalog! :)
Great video and an awesome run! I was in the race with you (yellow hat on the first climb and in the wire mesa group) and you did an excellent job of capturing the race. Well done 👍
Great work and attitude! I find your "mid-pack" running stories very relate-able! And your videos are well put together!
John Marangiello Thank you John! I get inspired by the videos of others, I’m honored to share my experiences in case it helps someone else. Plus these videos are fun to make!
Fantastic video - I felt your pain! Congratulations...
Wes that is amazing! congratulations!
Haha! I literally just finished the 2022 Zion 100 miler, and like you met up with a Swiss runner named Peter who ran the 2nd half of the race with me. Totally underestimated how difficult this terrain would be. Great job!!! 💪🏼
Congrats on doing Zion, it is a tough race!
Great video Wes and it was a great race, amazing well done...
Stephan Diezi It was fun running with you!
SO AWESOME!!!! Great job!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations again
that last shot of you holding the buckle says it all. well done mate. Superb effort and race
Thank you Luciano!
Well done. Enjoyed this video. The buckle design is a lot like those from Destination Trail. Love it
Thanks Aaron! I'm glad you like my videos! :)
Nice👍🏾 thanks for the great footage! Major accomplishment‼️
MiWolverine96 Thank you for watching.
@@wplate Hey Wes! i just completed Rocky Raccoon 100 (my 1st after 2 DNFs last yr) i have Cocodona 250 on tap this year & after seeing this video again im definitely doing the Zion 100 2024!! thank again for the great footage!
@@MiWolverine96 congrats finishing Rocky Racoon! See you in AZ for Cocodona!
I don't know how I got to these videos, but i've been binging them all day haha. I've been doing some short runs lately, but this makes me want to sign up for my first marathon
I’m glad you stumbled into my channel! I’m happy to hear you have been running lately, as long as you’re moving it is good for the body and the mind.
Wes,
Great run - looks like a tough one. Good video too - thank you!
This one was tough! It was definitely more difficult than I expected. Thanks for watching!
Great job & awesome video! I relive my 100K thru your video; I met you the day before at the briefing & drop-off bags.
I think I remember meeting you there! Thank you for watching, I'm glad it brought back some memories. :)
Way to go, Wes! Zion 2020 will be my first attempt at 100 miles. Learned a lot from your video. Thanks!!
Kyle Richardson Hi Kyle, I assume the April race was canceled, what did you do instead?
Wes Plate Yep. Zion was cancelled. Then my May 100 was cancelled. Then I had one in August get cancelled. I'm currently registered for the Brazos Bend 100(not quite the Utah mountains, but still 100 miles) in December. 🤞this one happens.
Kyle Richardson Lets hope 2021 is better! :) I hope Brazos happens for you. I have Javelina at the end of Oct, still waiting to hear if it’s on. Stay healthy and good luck!
Wes Plate Sending well wished for Javelina-that one looks like fun! Can't wait for 2021!
thank you so much for this video!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch it! Are you running Zion next month?
@@wplate we are in Nova Scotia canada... but in our wildest dreams we would come down and do this race... maybe someday!
Way to go man! Also nice editing on the TH-cams
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Another great run!!
Glad you enjoyed this one too.
good job, thanks for making this video. im signing up for the 2021 zion 100.
Me too
Cool! I hope you have a great time!
Well made. Good stuff, Wes
MattPrince25 Thank you Matt!
Nice work!!
Thanks!
Good video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Haha what memories!
I ran this race and finished 31st at 27:10!
You would have passed myself, Trevor White and the legendary Pam Read likely at the guacamole pass
Thanks for the video to help me stroll down memory lane
I type this from Zion RN as I’ll plan to attempt to go sub 24 this year
Great Video Wes and gave you a follow on IG!
Thanks for reliving the race with my video! How did this year's race go for you?
My racing partner tore his minuscus at mile 7
I had to pop 13 blisters on my feet at mile 52
But then got the privilege to run with Pam Reed for 50 miles
An amazing day and one I’ll never forget even though my goal of sub 24 wasn’t achieved
Finished in 30:29:58
@@Coach_13 Sounds like a good day for you! I met Pam in October at Javelina Jundred, I had no idea what a legend she was. What an honor. Congrats on the finish!
Congrats!! I wonder if they'll make the start at Virgin again in the future - to me the previous course made 10x more sense than now
Even before I ran it, the course was different in previous years.
This was really well done. I don't think I've got a 100 in me. Looks pretty darn rough past that 50m range. Really well done.
JustinDoesTriathlon I’m glad you liked this, thanks for watching. Do a 100k, you still get to enjoy the rough-past-50m part, just less of it. :)
just WOW!
heroic
You know your an ultrarunner when you say “I feel better than I did 25 miles ago”. 😜
Amazing how that happens! Don’t let yourself get down in an ultra, it will turn around!
Good job on both, great video and great finish! Very strong :) I am not this fast :) And thank you for the ending piece, I enjoyed seeing the side of both a runner and what is happening while person runs :) Finish line had to feel amazing. What was the most memorable moment about that race?
Somewhere around mile 70-75 I started running with a Swiss runner named Stefan. His English was limited so we didn't speak much, but we ran together for a while, helping each other stay on course, encouraging each other, and enjoying the company. At the mile 87 aid station we parted ways, he wasn't feeling well, but I begged him not to drop out. As we said goodbye he told me "This was good." I interpreted it to mean he enjoyed our time together. That was very special to me. You really meet great people in these events.
Great video, thank you for uploading. Do you think I could road shoe this trail race?
I would think so. I remember one small steep section where maybe traction of a trail shoe could have helped, but I was about 70 miles in and it was dark so I don’t Actually remember that part very well. Overall you’d be totally fine in road shoes.
Boom!!
Amazing video. How did you edit the map overlay? Good job.
The map shown at 2:36 for example? The GPX file from my watch was converted into a mask shape in an Apple Motion project. I used it in a Title that had many parameters rigged and published so that while editing in FCP I could control the “completeness” shown on that little map.
Well done!! Amazing video. What camera did you use for filming?
Leana Joubert I used a GoPro Hero 7 Black. I’m glad you liked this video.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Mubarek.
When did you start running ultramarathons? Was this the first one?
I ran my first ultra, the Baker Lake 50k, in October 2015. Zion 100 was my second 100 miler.
@@wplate Cool! Did you do a lot of sports before getting into ultra running?
Bhuyakasha No, I let myself get very out of shape. I started running again in 2012 and not long after started to improve my fitness. I ran my first half in 2014.
@@wplate I'm glad you turned it around
how in the world do runners not get lost at night?
The course is marked and runners have headlamps. I also had the route on the GaiaGPS app so I could consult it if there was a question.
@@wplate ok thank you. i'm seriously considering the 100k for 2021. I read about David Goggins going like 15 miles off course during the MOAB 240 and it got me thinking. All the best to you. Stay strong
Joe Hefferon I don’t know how he got lost, all runners were required to have the course on a GPS device with downloaded maps so it could operate without cell service.
What helped me at Zion: Kogalla lamp on my waist illuminating the ground in front of me and my headlamp pointed higher to make it easy to scan for course markers.
@@wplate interesting. Thanks again. Stay well.
