Running Javelina 100 miles Ultra marathon

Running Javelina 100 miles ultra marathon – aka Javelina Jundred – was a fantastic way to conclude this crazy season of running. After racing 11x 100 miles so far, coming back for a 4th time here was a welcomed change of pace, and it reminded me of why I love ultra running so much.

The trail running community is one of the most positive I’ve ever seen, composed of fantastic people. Be it other runners, pacers, crew, volunteers, organizers – you’ll meet some of the best people. And it was great to meet so many of you all! It means the world to know that some of my movie are helpful/inspiring, …or at the very least, funny. But even more special this weekend was to share the adventure with friends and loved ones. Four of us racing – all of us finishing! Mark and LeAnne -with whom I shared so many miles on course! And Nora crushing it in the 100k! Not to forget Brian who supported us all – a great runner himself (and a coach – check it out if you are curious on IG @passentiontherun. Javelina itself is a unique race. I’ll be the first to say it – I’m more of a mountain guy, and I typically gravitate towards smaller races. But there is something unique about this one – such a big race that brings both the fastest runner racing for a golden ticket for Western States 100 miles , and the silliest of us, dressed up for a fun adventure in the desert. You get amazingly dedicated volunteer stations with themed costume. And as any of their races, Aravaipa does a great job at providing the best support for runner, while also fostering a good vibe all day long! And although I did not have the opportunity to talk with them on the trail – I came across two of my ‘running idols’ out there in the sun – Jam Jam and Courtney. I’ll admit, I was a little Star Struck in both cases. Heck, Jam Jam even said “hey simon!” – I almost broke into a “We’re not worthy, We’re not worthy” a la Wayne’s World! Anyhow – what a year! I’ll be posting some more this year – probably some “How to Ultra” videos, year recap, and goals for next year. Honestly super busy with work for the past few months – so we’ll see. I’m already nostalgic of last summer in Colorado Next stop, HURT 100 miles ultra marathon in Hawaii – Jan 13! I’ve had a couple of people sharing some footage too (thanks Brendan @senditbrendan and Carmen). And big thank you to Seth Grad for donating to support the channel! As always, thanks for watching!
