#150 Nolan's 14 FKT Holder David Hedges

They're back! The power couple of the Colorado 14ers have done it again. Andrew Hamilton and Andrea Sansone have been on the podcast a few times before and it was an honor to have them back to talk about their latest adventure. They completed all 58 of the Colorado 14ers in 12 days 6 hours and 43 minutes, setting a speed record as the fastest Coed team to complete the mission! Hear me now, thank me later--don't miss this episode!

David Hedges spent the last 5 weeks camping and training beneath the Nolan's 14 line. When he had a weather window, he executed. He was able to bring the supported record down to 39:06. Listen to this inspiring conversation! Life is short, DO BIG THINGS! big-things-crewing.com

Alyssa Clark is on a tear! In January, she won the HURT 100, following wins at the Moab 240 and about a half dozen other races. She is an ultrarunning coach at Uphill Athlete, a podcast contributor and a Van Dweller. She has been chasing her dream of being a professional athlete for a while now and now that she's living it, she's not wasting any time. She is quickly becoming a prominent figure in the ultrarunning community and it was a joy to sit and pick her brain. Don't miss this episode! DO BIG THINGS! big-things-crewing.com

Chris Ward is an interesting cat and I've wanted to have him on the podcast for a long time.  Not only does he host a podcast but he teaches middle school science, runs ultramarathons--and most recently, produced and co-directed the beautifuly crafted ultrarunning documentary, A Long Way From Nowhere.  The film follows the Desert Rats 150 mile stage race and the colorful characters that dare to take on such an event.  This movie is for everyone and it's going to get you right in the feels.  Don't sleep on this one!  Available on March 10th.   Check out the Like a Bigfoot podcast on all listening platforms.   Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Daniel Hobbs is the current Colorado 14er self supported speed record holder.  He climbed fifty-eight 14,000 foot peaks in 14 days.  That would be a large order for any Colorado athlete but Daniel hails from Minnesota!  How does a guy from the Midwest beat depression and climb fifty-eight mountains faster than anyone?  Dig into this episode! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings biggerthanthetrail.com  athleticbrewing.com PROMO is MCROBERTSA20 alteregorunning.com PROMO is DOBIGTHINGS Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Andrea Sansone is on quite a tear this year!  She just set the women's supported FKT on the Nolan's 14 route.  Her and her partner, Andrew Hamilton come back on the show to share their journey.  Andrew holds several FKT's and records and Andrea is quickly catching up to him.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings athleticbrewing.com PROMO code is MCROBERTSA20 Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Keith Hayes and Laura Kaplan just completed the Nolan's 14 line.  They've been obsessed with these 14 peaks all summer long and they put a lot of time and effort into scouting and completing the project.  It took them 85 hours to complete the line which means they were out there (and awake) for the majority of three nights.  They were up against some gnarly weather and the fact that they pushed on was pretty mind blowing to me.  I absolutely loved talking with them, I hope you enjoy this conversations! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings biggerthanthetrail.com xoskin.us PROMO code is BTC athleticbrewing.com PROMO code is MCROBERTSA20 alteregorunning.com PROMO code is DOBIGTHINGS Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Chris Fisher is a monster!  I had him on once before, episode #110 where he set a World Record by logging over 400,000 vert feet in one month for the Max Vert Challenge.  Well, he's back!  He just set the FKT for the WURL out and back and I wanted to hear about it!  WARNING: This guys stoke and intensity are contagious; this episode may just make you want to lace up and run up and down some mountains.  Enjoy! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings biggerthanthetrail.com athleticbrewing.com PROMO is MCROBERTSA20 xoskin.us PROMO code is BTC alteregorunning.com PROMO is DOBIGTHINGS Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Travis Soares just climbed all 247 peaks of the Sierra Peaks Section.  He set the FKT by climbing them all in 117 days.  Until recently, no one had done all of them in one season.  This was a major accomplishment and a monster effort on Travis's part.  He also picked up some crazy stories along the way.  DO BIG THINGS Travis!
