I think so.

It's nice to look around and see some really beautiful terrain.

And you have two giant mountains you have to climb.

One at like...

mile like 120 and then another and another i think mile 175 you go up like 10 000 11 000 feet from sea level well not sea level but like you know i mean you're probably like 5 000 have to go up to 10 000 it's it's a big climb though and like one of them's like 26 miles so it's climbing well if you're going up and over this mountain so i mean it's it's you're out there for a long time

Um, and then the rest is a lot of desert running, um, slick rock, um, just things that are hard on the feet.

Yeah.

Um, and this year we had 150 year storm, so it poured rain almost the entire race.

And so the previous years were, which I had not been successful.

We'd be running up like a dry riverbed.

Well, this year it was a full river.

So I have video of myself going up and, you know, I have water, you know, shin deep.

And I'm having to go like two miles up a river because there's nowhere else to go.

So I have to deal with a lot of foot issues.

Because there's just the terrain on the other side.

Yeah, I mean, it's just mud and like weird stuff on the side because it's raining.

So you used to stay on the rock bed.

And, you know, one of the worst things about running...

in the rain is wet feet right all the issues with wet feet so then you have to deal with all the foot issues and all that um it's a very very difficult race but um

Well, you run a lot of 100-mile races.
