And we are back! In this episode we break down my race at the Western States 100. We walk through each section of the course and uncover the feelings, emotions, highs, and lows of every section of the course. I hope everyone listening will get a better understanding of the race and why it's so difficult as well as have a better understanding of the struggles that I went through throughout the day. I just want to take the time to thank not only the crew for getting me to the finish line but also everyone back here at home who was cheering me on. Throughout the day, I kept thinking about everyone back home who was watching and some of the times that was the only thing keeping me going. To those that stayed up until 3 am and watched me finish, you guys are truly special. I love you all~

In this episode we dive into Mike Dolan's history as an ultra runner and as the race director of the Frozen Sasquatch 50k/25k. The Frozen Sasquatch is always run in the first weekend of January in the Kanawha State Forest and is one of the premiere ultra/trail races in West Virginia.

In this episode I have Dan Green on the podcast and we talk about our experience crewing/pacing the 2023 Rim to River 100, his awesome Javelina Jundred Race, and what is next for ole Danny Green.
