Of course @woah_max decided to race the inaugural @saddles100 50 miler less than 10 hrs before the start and he won it in brilliant fashion. Here are some details of him during and after. Im biased, but you can’t really out-cool a fully tatted back/torso. Lots of images of max from today but here are a couple to start…

Verde bangin on all cylinders and training with fire ants in their shoes. Comment if you think @oakley should get their heads out of their 🍑 and hook @bygolly.molly up #michaeljordan #23

A few more moments of @sarahostaszewski doin the damn thing @runrabbitrun100

In a lot of ways Logan helped shape me as an ultra athlete and most of me as a normal person. When I found running a few years ago I ran the behind the rocks 50 miler as my 3rd race ever, there is a long out and back, I came to the out and back as Logan was finishing it (he’s really fucking fast if you don’t know). He was at the aid vomiting and wearing some hilarious bright shorts (I think they were flamingos?). I had seen Logan at the climbing gym in salt lake training and admired him already so I took a mental picture. The next week I ran into him in the bouldering area and introduced myself and told him I saw him throwing up at the race, I said we should be friends and he luckily agreed. We went on a few man dates and since then he’s constantly inspired me as one of my closest people. we’ve been on crazy adventures, I’ve paced him through multiple life changing races including a loop around Lake Tahoe and the slowest 50k I’ve ever run at the Wasatch 100. A lot of my most cherished friends come from Logan, my knowledge around racing long hard things comes from him and navigating highs and lows in life have been manageable thanks to his friendship over the years. I got to spend the weekend documenting his journey at run rabbit for his second go which unfortunately didn’t go to plan due to the disease he’s been managing over the last couple of years. For such a talented dude who should be seeing success at a race like this Im extremely proud of him for handling things the way he has. He’s a full time lawyer, trains as hard as any pro and is battling an incurable super rare autoimmune disease that puts a cap on what he’s able to do on race day yet he brings his all to every race. He’s also off social media so that he can live more in the moment, which I can appreciate, mostly so that I can brag about him without boosting his ego 😂 Thanks for everything you’ve showed me and continue to bring to the running world logan, you are a next level human ❤️

To say that the women of ultra running have been inspiring and pushing the limits this summer would be an understatement. Rivaling @courtneydauwalter for the most impressive racing summer in trail running history.. @sarahostaszewski has raced around 1000 miles and close to 200k feet of vert, yeah RACED.. not run, raced, since May. Winning @cocodona250 and @ouray100 (CR) back to back. Easily the two most daunting races in the country… if you are trying to vomit up your lunch just read the stats on those courses and how far apart they are on the calendar. I did an Elden lap with Sarah 2 days after Cocodona and she smoked me. Apparently she had to be forced to not also run CCC before this weekend. 40 miles of the crooked mile last man standing, Cappis 50k, 50k of high five, @brokenarrowskyrace 11k, @transrockiesrunning 6 days, now @runrabbitrun100 and she’s not done. Catch her at @saddles100 50 miler in a couple of weeks for a season ender… at least, until someone tells her about something else to race the week after. keep an eye on this girl. Very happy for her joining the @satisfyrunning pro team and honored to be the one here to document her journey. Attention all other running companies… pull your heads out of your asses, she still buys her own shoes and she probably raced (and won) more than your whole pro team combined this summer. Beyond her race accomplishments Sarah is the most humble, thoughtful, caring, passionate person you’ll ever meet more than halfway into an ultra. She would somehow win more if she didn’t spend all of her time wishing other people luck and talking to friends at aid stations 😂 To her core, much like Courtney, Sarah is a role model and shining example of what makes our sport so special. Thanks for being you @sarahostaszewski More images to come from Sarah’s run rabbit weekend on the @satisfyrunning page, thank you for the opportunity and trust ❤️

Sunday long run stuff

A few frames from the last roll of B&W. Mostly @bygolly.molly with guest appearances by @tomevansultra and Wally/ @keegels99

Some work I made for the recent @puma @cieleathletics collaboration. Very psyched with how these came out, thanks for the opportunity and thanks to this all star crew @pumarunning @bygolly.molly @jessa.hanson @rory_linkletter @gogreenxc @benjaminweingart #running #fashion

I finally don’t have a stomach ache from the bread and cheese but now I’m missing my UTMB people

A few more details from yesterday @utmbmontblanc @utmbworldseries

I don’t know where this “triple crown” thing came from, its never been a thing because no one actually thought this was possible. Before hardrock this year no one even thought it was possible to win both western states and hardrock… let alone tacking on UTMB. The three most competitive, difficult and prestigious 100’s in the world in effectively 2 months. No one, male or female ever had the imagination and confidence to think up or try something like this because it’s nuts. Absolutely nuts. Winning one of those races is a major career highlight let alone winning all three by multiple hours back to back and setting multiple course records all with a smile. Courtney accomplished something monumental in the sport today that will very likely never be done again. She didn’t win some made up triple crown, she fundamentally changed the sport forever. Chapeau Courtney on the effort, you’ve always been and will always be an inspiration. The sport is lucky to have you💪

Just a few from the first hour
