Ooooh, the views, the nature and the nice music in the background all together worked almost like therapy on me. Nice video. It cheered me up:-). Also, kudos for the finishing the race, well done!
I’ve just found your TH-cam channel and binge watched a bunch of videos. You do them so well. The videography is amazing, the places you run are so beautiful! I will have to stop watching or my bucket list will become too long! As a currently injured mid distance runner you have inspired me to continue fight for recovery to continue in this amazing sport. Thank you for recording all these amazing experiences and sharing them.
Thank you so very much for the inspiration and thank you for taking us along with you on your runs. Beautiful scenery. Felt like I was right there. This is my "why" I moved 3000 miles from my family in NC to the PNW
Absolutely beautiful, I would love to run this course. It's the closest thing I've seen to European trails in the States. Maybe next year? Thanks for the great footage Wes, and congrats on the finish x
@@wplate new sub!☺ do you remember a up then down race where this gentleman did not make it down last seen near the top. I think it happened in Washington?
Thanks! I had plenty of views and fun chugging thought the 50K, I wouldn't have had More fun or Better views if I'd pressed on. I definitely got my money's worth! :)
@@wplate Watching your videos has sparked an new energy to pick back up ultra running. I’ve taken a little hiatus, maybe it’s time to start up again. Your videos make me feel like I’m right there at the race. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video Wes, amazing scenery. I’ve considered taking a GoPro on my races but half of the time I can’t even muster up enough energy just to get food out of my pack never mind a camera! Thanks for sharing!
It IS a challenge to remember to record, then after remembering to record, it can be a challenge to actually record. I know the feeling of being too tired to do anything other than run.
Wow! I can't get over how pretty this course is! And that view at 6:45 , words just can't explain. Lots of elevation gain (nearly 8k) over 31 miles. It may not have been the 50 miles you anticipated running, but you still had a great run in a gorgeous area.
I understand. It helped me to have a bigger picture perspective. This wasn’t my A race, I had other things I needed to be able to do later on. Overdoing this one wouldn’t serve me well.
Great content, and taking care of your body for the next session of training and races is understanding your body. The race will be their next year, best of luck in your next vision quest…
Just spent a week in flathead national forest and this looked so identical I had to look it up and check. Such beauty in the northwest, cant wait to move out of Florida.
@@wplate ya well not too soon, unbenounced to us there was a record drought so no water on our 10 hour hike with 50# packs, almost died lol. But wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Man I'd love to check out this course. How awesome does it have to be in real life when it looks so amazing on TH-cam. Congrats on finishing your 50k, Wes!
Again thank you so much for sharing such amazing views and the motivation to inspire! I know some of us get that lil bit of flame 🔥 starting to ignite within ourselves to go and discover our Limits. Them views... Wow! Gracias #stayhard
This looks like a great course - I recognise a lot of it from Bigfoot 200. I must check this one out some time. Good call on listening to your body. Well done 👏
Wow! The views on this course are spectacular! Great video Wes, and great decision to listen to your body. 50k with almost 7,600 ft of gain 😳....that would crush me. Well done Sir and hope to see you out on the trail one day.
Are you still feeling the effects of listening to Kerry and the Cocodona 250m? BTW super video....great outcome by dropping back to 50k, stay well....greetings from Australia.
@@wplate I truly enjoy my treadmill runs to your clips I like them very much Well done I love watching live forward facing footage on your trail gos and also the intermittent selfie chat and then the pit stop aid emotions haha
Love the video and great job on the race! I’m thinking of doing it in ‘22. I have a couple of questions for you. In the description on their website from aid station 1 to aid station 2, it says that there are “some sloughed rocky sections and heights that require caution.” How was that section? Were there any sketchy parts that made you nervous? Thanks!
There was the bit at 3:11 with the loose rock from a slide, then the bits at 5:56 at 6:09 where the trail was narrow and the falloffs to the side were significant. Especially that second section required caution, but no big deal otherwise. I hope you do this in '22 and I hope you have the weather we had!

Welcome Leigh! Thanks for watching, I’m really happy you found my channel.
Keep luck with your injury, I hope you keep fighting to get back out there!
Thank you so very much for the inspiration and thank you for taking us along with you on your runs. Beautiful scenery. Felt like I was right there. This is my "why" I moved 3000 miles from my family in NC to the PNW
The views in this backcountry area are so good. Thanks for watching!
Wow, watching this on a tv screen. Gorgeous country. Thanks for sharing
I'm glad you watched on a big screen! I like watching on a TV too, so much better to appreciate the big views.
Absolutely beautiful, I would love to run this course. It's the closest thing I've seen to European trails in the States. Maybe next year? Thanks for the great footage Wes, and congrats on the finish x
Thanks Kane. It is a tough course but worth the effort.
@@wplate new sub!☺ do you remember a up then down race where this gentleman did not make it down last seen near the top. I think it happened in Washington?
@@darrickmalloy6909 Don't think I know that story, sounds awful. :(
Yes, another race video! I can’t tell you how many times I have clicked to relive the Cocodona experience. Great job out there!
Thanks Scott! We ultrarunners get to see and experience the coolest places.
That was one of the nicest looking race videos I've seen... and I have watched a lot of them. Well done!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This video is outstanding! I already had my eye on this race and this vid sealed the deal. Such a beautiful course and well crafted video!
Yay! I’m glad you want to do this! It is so beautiful. The cutoffs are tight, but the course is lovely.
Brilliant effort Wes. Fantastic video. 🏃🏻♂️🏔👍💪
Thank you David!
Another lovely video, and a good 50k! Thanks again, looking forward to all the next ones. :)
Thanks Liam. I hope to have a Volcanic video, too, that's also a cool course, just completely different.
Another beautiful video…the views are just spectacular! So great your listening to your body and can step back 😊
Thanks! I had plenty of views and fun chugging thought the 50K, I wouldn't have had More fun or Better views if I'd pressed on. I definitely got my money's worth! :)

Breathtaking wow what an amazing and challenging course. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this video, well done. Living just North of the border, not that far away, going to keep this one in mind for sure.
Just a day's drive south! definitely keep it in mind.
Wow! I can't get over how pretty this course is! And that view at 6:45 , words just can't explain. Lots of elevation gain (nearly 8k) over 31 miles. It may not have been the 50 miles you anticipated running, but you still had a great run in a gorgeous area.
oh yeah, that spot was breathtaking. Glad you liked these views Chad! :)
Great video as always. Fun to see it again through another person's eyes and be reminded of all the things that didn't quite make it into my memory!
Thanks Andrew! I enjoyed your video too. An incredible place, I still can't get over how that trail is just there waiting for anyone to visit.
Stunning views Wes! Man, what a dream to race with views like that. Lots of elevation! Well done on the 50k. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! The views were spectacular.
Them views though my God. So beautiful
Amazing up there. Thanks for watching!
Cocodona would have mentally drained me from racing for many months I’m sure, but you got right back out there! Beautiful video, too.
Thanks! Part of me would have enjoyed more time off, but also I have so many races I want to do! This one was amazing and worth it.
stunning scenery Wes! amazing place thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Gotta know when to say when. I have trouble there,that's why I'm always injured. Hats off to you bro
I understand. It helped me to have a bigger picture perspective. This wasn’t my A race, I had other things I needed to be able to do later on. Overdoing this one wouldn’t serve me well.

Thank you Michael. I want to be in this sport for a long time, need to take care of myself. :)
Beautiful Trails! Great Video! Thanks Wes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just spent a week in flathead national forest and this looked so identical I had to look it up and check. Such beauty in the northwest, cant wait to move out of Florida.
Oh I bet the Flathead NF was amazing! The Northwest is a fantastic place indeed, I hope you get to visit again soon.

Thanks for watching Cesar.
Love your videos Wes.
I appreciate that! Thanks Dave.
nice! i'll have to look at that one. i did their race tillamook 50 M may 1.. very lush scenery
Daybreak put on a nice race! Definitely consider this, and then do your climb training! :)
This looks like a great course - I recognise a lot of it from Bigfoot 200. I must check this one out some time.
Good call on listening to your body. Well done 👏
I figured most of this course was used in Bigfoot. I need to do Bigfoot now, see all the rest of that course.
As always Wes, super job...hope you recovered...what's next?
Thanks Adam. I did Volcanic 50K in August, next is Teanaway 100 in September!
Great video and great run!
Thank you! 👍
Can't wait to see it
Hope you enjoy! Let me know if it makes you want to run this course. :)

Thanks Neil. The wisdom bomb Kerry dropped was a good one, and one that I'll always remember! :)
Gonna run to this on my treadmill asap
That would be interesting! My treadmill has a feature where it can run a route created on a map, I wonder how it would compare to the real thing.
