For years I wanted to see Jim and Zach truly go head to head and finally it happened. It was as amazing to watch as I expected!

It’s pretty unreal when you achieve your life’s dream. It’s not always an excited feeling, it can be a relief or let down or what now feeling. It will take him time to sort it out mentally. Massive achievement.

Megan, you, Brian and Dylon are, without a doubt, the best interviewers. You don’t look at a sheet of paper, thinking of the next question before the person has finished their answer on the question at hand. It’s a real conversation. Excellent!

Amazing interview and I'm just so happy for Jim. This is a true story of doing whatever it takes to reach a goal and letting nothing get in your way. I am so happy to hear Jim plans to jump back into the lime light moving forward as we need your Strava data bud!! I will be so interested to see what he sets his sights on next. Selfishly I hope Jim moves back to Arizona and starts just CRUSHING North American races again. I watched the entire event live and there was something different when he came out of that aid station and I think it was the stretch of pavement. You could tell his legs were opening up. What was frustrating is we didn't actually get to see the pass of Zack. Just all of a sudden the camera panned to Jim and he was in the lead. So exciting in that moment. Well done Jim!! Proud of you.

Serious question...why not have something to sit on while doing these post race interviews? I mean, they did just run for almost 24 hours straight. With that being said, it was a good interview.

Sometimes we sit, sometimes we stand, and we do accommodate an interview's layout for an athletes' needs and requests as much as we can - I suspect you'd be surprised by the extreme logistical challenges of conducting these interviews. Further, you might also be surprised by just how nimble and agile many of these athletes are a day after a race. Jim rode his bike to his media appearances, and probably was less tired than the iRunFar team. -Meghan
