Hey Brendan! Just jumping in to say hi. I'm tossing around the idea of running a "casual" 50ish miles near Indian Summer/Devil's Backbone/Bobcat Ridge. Want to join? Simon, you're welcome to join too. Not sure when and may be snow dependent.

@@SeeChadRun I assume that's somewhere in CO? I'd love to but we're back in San Diego at least until next summer sadly (where snow is not a problem...)

Such a great way to end this year of racing!

Awesome job! So great to finally meet you!,

Likewise - and thanks for volunteering! Now hopefully I get picked for Western!

Great effort to all of you, and another fulfilling video! Thanks for the shout out. You've put so much time and care into crafting these entertaining, fun and informative videos, and I hope more folks lend support. Perhaps most of all, you don't take yourself too seriously. I'm stepping up to a longer distance race this weekend and this video will provide me a little extra fuel. Cheers, and looking fwd to your adventures next year!

Excellent Excellent video Simon 😃👍🏃‍♂️. Huge Congratulations on your finish…. !!! The fact that you showed so much of the course ( day / night ), was great ! Javelina Jundred 100 is my desire to do some day in the future. Still have my first 50k to do yet though…. Been plagued with ailments and surgeries 🙄🙄😖 that throw me off , and I have to heal before I can train again…. Frustrating ! But I’m determined ! Anyway, excited for you and your friends for completing the entire race……! And thank you for another great video 🙂👍

Thanks - I always try to show the course a lot because I know it can be really helpful when preparing for a race (particularly for mountain or technical ones like Ouray - then you know what to expect). Sorry to hear about issues - but love the attitude! Like you say, training for an ultra isn't a sprint - it takes dedication, perseverance and focus. It's never a straightforward process, but in the end, it's all worth it! Good luck :)

@@runningwithsimon Thanks Simon 🙂👍. ….. sorry to complain! I’m just ready to 50k it 👍👍👍, but have to wait !

Congratulations on an incredible race, to all of you!! This race looks like such a blast, it's definitely on my bucket list! I'm so glad you're channel is growing. There's a huge pool of people who are just waiting to discover and love your videos for the awesome content and editing. I've dropped you name into a couple comment sections, to help get your name out. You've had an amazing year, and I can't wait to see what next year brings! Hopefully you'll put out a few informational videos on what you do to recover/stay/ increase fitness in your off season?

Thanks for spreading the word/love! Yeah, more how to coming for sure, especially with the down time from racing until Jan. But I've been and will continue to be unreasonably busy with work for a little bit. Still, that's high on my to do list! May not all have the nice "polish" on those, but the info will be well researched!

Congratulations Simon! What an epic season for you.

It's my last one to complete the Vacation Race 3x 100 milers! And I love Zion, so really want Bryce. It'll depend on which I run between Sedona 125 vs. Cocodona 250.

I did the 100k
