Episode 041: Courtney Does it Again, Nedd for 1,000, and a Taco Bell Ultra

This week we start off by giving everyone in Florida our well wishes during this tough time with Hurricane Milton moving through.  Then we discuss Courtney Dauwalter continuing her dynasty of high profile race victories by winning Nice Cote d’ Azur (UTMB) 100 mile and she was not far off from first place overall.  Then we go over the Saddles 100 and 50 mile races in Prescott, AZ where two of our friends and favorite Ohio trail runners Chad Trumbo and Jay Smithberger competed in those races and did very well.  We also discuss race resultrs from Cuyamaca 100K, Spooner’s Cove 50K, DC Peaks 50, Hennepin 100, Shawnee 50/50, Arkansas Traveller 100, and Yankee Springs Fall 50K.  There is a new self-supported FKT on the 1,444 mile Buckeye trail.  We take a look at Nedd Brockman from Australia who is trying to break Yiannis Kouros’s long standing 1,000 mile record of 10 days 10 hours 30 minutes and 36 seconds.  Nedd is 6 days in and 900K deep so he has some ground to make up in the next 4 days. We end the show talking about the Taco Bell 50K race in Denver that Sage Canaday participated in recently.  Sounds like you need an iron stomach to get that done.  Johnny revisits a 50K that he did with some friends in Columbus where they stopped at multiple breweries throughout the run.
