The Source is a documentary film that explores elite ultra runner Courtney Dauwalter's source of will. How does the candy-loving, beer drinking athlete crush 200+ mile races, in some cases, beating all the men and the women?
The film gives viewers a front row seat as Courtney races the Tahoe 200 and lends insight.

    Phew! I am 1 week away from my first marathon. Started training at 50 yrs age, BMI of 28, and took me 6 long months. Have sacrificed sleep,, Entertainment, with lots of running across trails and parks. Now, 6 months later, can't wait for it. Did 3 , 20 plus miles runs. BMI went down to 26 already. Wish me luck 🤞

    Tahoe trails are 6300-near 9000 ft. Bone dry. Try running a 1/2 marathon there. Even if it's flat.........add say 3000 ft to that 1/2 marathon. Even on a mountain bike, this route would be brutal.

    That's crazy at the 181.5 mile marker (aid station) she says "I don't know how much fight I have left in me." and "I'm in a weird, weird space right now." She then sees Kyle catch up to her then it does look like the camera cuts for a moment then I love how she has that look in her eyes (something clicked in her at 27:26) once she sets down the Gatorade and then she says "Kev are you ready?" Such inner drive and inspiration!

    As a triathlon guy who has never been in first, I can't imagine how demotivated I'd feel to be out in front and then lose it. I think that her finishing sub 50 hours after losing that lead is a massive testament to her drive and dedication and fortitude. I think many other athletes would have called it after being in such a bad head space and then losing the lead. Many other athletes would have lost the drive to finish. She's an absolute beast.

    you have a point, but its a completely different type of running and I am not sure the Africans, or pure track athletes like Rupp, would survive a 240 mile race with 30k ft of elevation gain. The African presence in track is more a matter of easy access than the money, because the competition in track is intense. But in terms of pure athletic effort, if you challenge both track and trail people to do both types of races, I would bet the combined results would favor the trail runners. Track is purely physiological, with some drug enhancing thrown in, perhaps. Training to survive 240 miles and do it in 57 hours is purely mental with a lot of technique thrown in. @@patrickharrison1913

    Courtney is such an inspiration. Not only because of her physical and mental capabilities but I truly admire her spirit. Her authenticity and joyfulness is so refreshing to see in such an accomplished athlete. She's managed to transcend ego by practicing modesty and cool headedness. Courtney has demons.. but she chooses to control those demons and not let them control her. She is the epitome of what everyone should aspire to be: resilient, nonreactive, joyful, determined, and humble. And of course, her being is reinforced by such an incredible team :)

    She is Superhuman- physically, mentally, emotionally. All aspects come into play when you are pushing your capabilities like this. You lose one, the others compensate for a time. If you lose all of them, you stop. Courtney has found a way to rally one or two of these things to overcome being down in the other. Amazing. I truly do not understand how a body can do this sort of thing. I would disintegrate I think. LOL

But I loved hearing about her xc skiing background, and having a view into her struggles during a race. She is positive, she is undoubtedly amazing, she is probably among the strongest athletes alive, AND she is human. This makes me admire her even more.
