Throwback from 2013 has shaped me more than almost any race.

I ran it 7 times. One DNF. Six finishes. Top 5 in five of them.

What mattered most wasn’t the records , it was getting faster each time, chasing something deeper than the clock. The 50+ course record has stood for 13 years now. And the Death Valley Cup, Badwater run + Furnace Creek 508 bike in the same season, remains one of the toughest challenges I’ve ever taken on.

The gentlemen in this photo are legends in their own right. I’ve looked to them for motivation, for drive, and for inspiration when things got dark out there. Being alongside them pushed me to become more than I thought I could be.

Grateful for the desert. Grateful for the suffering. And grateful for the people who make it meaningful.
