How I Won A 100 Mile
The inaugural Tampa Bay 100 was an incredible event, and I was fortunate enough to bring home a victory. This event wasn't so much a race as it was a tour of the bay area, and local RD's did an amazing job of mapping a course that took runners through known (and lesser known) landmarks from Tampa bay to Downtown Saint Petersburg. From the streets of Tampa, to the beached of Clearwater, and ending in the middle of downtown Saint Pete among vibrant nightlife, the Tampa Bay 100 was an event to remember, and it should be on every runners list of events to participate in.
In this video I not only break down my race plan, but more importantly dive into what was going on mentally throughout the entire 18 hours and 33 minutes it took me to cover the 100 mile course. I share my race plan, a course breakdown, some keys to success, and most importantly my incredible crew, without whom I would have never been able to achieve such incredible results.

This was my first 100. Took me a lot longer than it took you. I also did Pinellas Trail Challenge this year and your video on how to survive it was crucial! I love your videos, you and Matt crushed this race!!! GREAT WORK!

I ran PTC too this year. A PR distance for me and boy was it hot. Used Michael's vid to prepare for it to. He is a sincerely genuine fella and such a help to this community ❤️🏃♀️👍
Congratulations on the win and thank you for talking about Bigger Than The Trail. I'm a big advocate for mental health awareness, I had not heard of them before. I already ordered some merchandise!! Love your content and you are an inspiration for me. Thanks, congratulations!
Hey Mike...Outstanding job, congrats on your win!! I really enjoy that your races are in such interesting terrain. Your honesty and transparency is awesome - it shines through in so many of your videos...Looking forward to the course video coming out! 💪🏽
So grateful for your first place 🎉 Congratulations! So proud! I’m sorry for what you have been moving through. Chris & Ivi rock!
You inspired me to run this - thank you for recap and your sincere transparency from strategy to mental health awareness😊🏃♂️💪🏃♂️😊
Ha! Well done! Dry heaving is the *only* way to finish.
So proud of you! Team Run_Fluent was a fine oiled machine seeing you through to the finish line with a glorious victory! Had some friends run it and said you were phenomenal!
Congratulations!! Love watching your videos, so inspirational.
Great video! Thank you for breaking down everything you did to run this ahem race! I finished, but my time was double yours, haha. New to the ultra world and starting to understand that everything is a balance. Looking forward to more of your videos!!!
Great strategy, congratulations. Looking forward to viewing your recap for Death at Dupuis
Well done! I started running in October and came across your channel and immediately was inspired to do an ultra down the line as a goal. Was even cooler to see you're a fellow Tampan. Thank you for the inspiration and crucial info.
Great video and awesome result! WOW - to win a 100 mile is something very few people can say in the world. Heck, finishing one is something so few people can say let alone winning one:) Well done!!
you're crushing it and you've got lots of potential to tap into still. would love to see you get into some of the big mountain ultras with 15,000+ ft. of elevation gain.
Incredible job! So amazing to see you crush this event!
Fantastic result! Love your content, mate!
Lol. I love you & Matt and look forward to future competitions!
Way to go!!!! Are your road shoes also altras as well?
Took me 26hrs to finish. I think I got like 13 place. This was my first 100 and it was pretty hard since I was unsupported and had a vest with like 30 pounds of supplies. Those last 10 miles really got me. I turned the wrong way a few times since they changed the course last minute. I walked the last 5 miles because the pain in my mid foot didn’t let me run. Definitely ready for another 100 but definitely need a crew if I want to achieve a better time.

Nice job! I can't see ever wanting to run a 100miler on pavement unless it was a foreign country.
Awesome👍🏃♂️🏃♂️
