- Bandera is a popular trail race held in the Hill Country State Natural Area outside of San Antonio, Texas. I ran the 100 km race for my first ever official ultramarathon. This race is put on by Tejas Trails and sponsored by Hoka. They also have a 25k and a 50k race.

Congrats on a great race! It was fun meeting another Wilmington, DE transplant! I also enjoyed seeing all of your friends racing - your group was the most fun group out there! I hope you get the bug and continue to race ultras - you have the gift for it!
thanks! I got in you the video briefly! I'm sure I'll end up doing some other races in the future!
You don't even sound tired or beat up throughout the run. Very impressive, amazing job! Awesome finish. Am very enticed to start running marathons after seeing this video.
Great job m friend! 100k for your first ultra is quite the distance. Amazing, and a great finish time too. The trails looked beautiful!
thanks!
🎉 wow! What an awesome day and great footage! Congrats on your stats!
thanks!
What A Bad Ass! Wow
Well done! That's a strong finish.
Thanks! Yeah I went faster than I expected to
Great video. Love all the support from the team. What an accomplishment!
Congrats!! You make it look so easy
Congrats on the phenomenon performance in your ultra debut. I was in the same race, and we run together for a brief period at the "lollipop". I overheard you mentioned your channel. I dropped off after completing one loop because of an injury I had coming into the race. Great video! I saw myself and my wife, who crewed me in it.
Hey thanks for the comment! I've signed up for the Javelina 100 around Halloween, so if I don't get hurt I'll be doing that! If you like hiking I got plenty of hikes on here!
Congrats! You crushed it! You have a lot more natural trail speed than you let on. You definitely have a lot of potential in ultras. When I saw you running with Kwok at Sky Island...my immediate thought was "this guy is pretty fast". An hour slowdown on 2d loop isn't bad at all. Plus avoided running at night is huge. The course is much harder at night due to the rocks and reduced visibility. You picked the best weather day for sure. It was a wind tunnel up at Sky Island on Sunday. Apologies for not acknowledging you on 2d loop. Your hat change threw me off.😂
Was that a bus you rented? Looked like a nice setup.
Thanks! Nice to meet you. The bus belonged to one of Adam's friends who was with us for the weekend -- he ran the 25k Sunday. Kwok rolled past me at Equestrian 1st loop and never saw him again haha! He killed it
Great job! 👏🏾🙌🏾
thanks!
This is great! Are you proud of yourself?
yes of course!
Incredible job. Any lessons learned / things you would do different? What did your training block look like? Do you have a public Strava? I have my first 100k coming up in April.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
I didn't really have much of an organized training block or anything planned out. I hike a lot (if you've seen my channel before) and in the past couple months tried to some longer hikes than involved more stretches of trail that I could run, so I got in some 20ish mile trail runs where I was jogging most of the miles. I don't have a strava either :( I pretty just wanted to go out there and see what I could do! I would probably train a bit more for the next one, and will experiment more with different gels and electrolytes. I also never really ate any "real" food the entire time, I think maybe grabbing some bacon or something more legit might have helped. The ginger ale did wonders for me the one time I got it!
I guess I did do a R2R2R in the grand canyon which was 46 miles (but I do that every year) in November -- but that was about 30 miles of jogging and 16 of hiking
@@HikingEngineerThanks for taking the time to respond. I have seen your Grand Canyon videos, I got into trail running after doing r2r2r non-stop a couple of times as a hiker. I’m looking to do bigger hikes as single day adventures. The r2r2r type, “Rae in a day” (Rae lakes loop in a day), going from Horseshoe meadows up the back part to Whitney down to portal (38 miles), etc. But am doing the races to kind of focus my efforts, especially during winter. I am older and much slower but it is fun to see what I can do. Impressive job with a #9 finish, really amazing.
@@Smashycrashy very nice! well hopefully my videos can help you out -- always happy to answer any questions. But i'm very low maintenance in terms of my gear and training, etc -- I don't have a fancy watch or record my hikes/runs on strava or anything like that
You smoked your first ultra …. Incredible.
thanks! I got javelina 100 this fall! then cocodona next spring!
Great job, congrats!
I just rented a truck to be able to negotiate the possibly rough dirt roads to the Sawtooths on Friday.
I'm planning to drive out Thursday night and sleep in my car somewhere near Casa Grande.
Still hoping you can meet me. I don't have your email, so just posting here again.
sorry for the miscommunication -- I was saying to leave your email in a comment (then you or me can delete it afterwards) and I'll email you to coordinate!
I keep trying to send my email, but I think TH-cam is deleting any comments that include an email address. So I'll say it this way: I use the most common email, the one associated with Google. And by email name is isoavery
dude that camera makes me nauseous
Sorry dude I was running over 62 miles and didn't wanna carry it the entire time 😂
