Instagram post 18032476867229629 Running is often seen as an individual sport, and in many ways it is, but anyone who has participated in an ultramarathon knows that you can't do it alone.
.

Many of the most memorable moments from such events are those you share with other participants who are equally struggling in the pursuit of a similar goal. Misery loves company, after all.
.

Hearing some of Joe's first-hand comments soon after this race and now reading about it in TrailRunner Magazine shows ever more the impact and importance of continually toeing that line and making real connections, even if it doesn't always go to plan.
.

In the words of Frank A. Clark, "If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere". What better way to put yourself out there alongside your your tribe and give it a shot?
.

If nothing else, may we be lucky enough to know someone who is willing to tell us, "You look horrendous"!

‘The Essence of Trail Running’ is a lofty article title, but this year’s experience at CCC at @utmbmontblanc was one I will never forget. My journey with @yassinediboun epitomizes everything I love about the crazy sport of ultrarunning. @kkmcconaughy was the glue that held me together 40 miles after I was ready to call it quits. Thank you to the continued support of @dscottpdx @columbia1938 and @maurten_official for getting me back to the world summit of ultra running. I had high hopes of how I would finish on the international stage, and fell short. As it goes in life, the journey to get there ended up being far greater than the reward at the finish line. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Thanks for the coverage @trailrunnermag. Link in bio 💥 💥
