On June 11, 2022, our host Mark Nieto finished his first ultramarathon, The Shadow of The Giants 50k. Starting in Fish Camp, CA, the race takes you through the Sierra National Forest, culminates with a loop around a grove of giant sequoia trees, and then takes you back to Fish Camp. Mark goes into great detail about what he endured including his traverse through an area he coined, "The Gauntlet."
