Hey there my friends!  Just chatting about my plans for the Tahoe 200 this weekend and my mindset going in.  Also, I've included a little challenge.  :)

Bryan Gillette started doing epic things at an early age.  At 20 years old, he rode his bike across the US.  Then he got into ultrarunning and after running other distances, completed the Tahoe 200.   He took his experience on the trail and then interviewed 100 leaders (CEOs, CXOs, CIOs, CHROs, CFOs, founders, and ultra-distance athletes) to see how they take really big ideas across the finish line.  He then penned the book, EPIC Performance.

A little race report and motivation put together.  :)

I had the privilege to run the Flower Moon 50M in Pawhuska, OK at Osage Hills State Park.  It's an awesome Outlaw race!  I used it as a training run for the Tahoe 200.  The heat and humidity were challenging and I had to practice what I preached for the last midweek motivation!  Got it done - No Guts, No Story

Reminder: When you can't do what you want, do what you can.

Jason Koomen is on a mission to run a 100 miler in every state.  He’s on number 30 so far!  We talk about the Loup Garou 100, Hurt 100, Outlaw 100, and others.  He and his wife have also adopted children from Ukraine in the past and have been helping people through their contacts.  If you would like to help there are info and links in the show notes.

Shaun Barnes is a friend who we’ve had on the podcast a couple of times before. He’s been doing big stuff!  If you remember, we had him and his coach on to talk about his experience doing the Triple Crown of 200s.  Then, we had him on to catch up and talk about the Iditarod Trail Invitational which he ended up not finishing, but he learned a ton!  This time, we get to discuss his experience this year running the ITI which resulted in an awesome finish.  Keep listening at the end where we chat for a few minutes with his girlfriend to get her perspective on Shaun’s endeavors and how emotionally hard it was to track him while she was home and he was off running this race in Alaska for 8 days!
