Like A Bigfoot

We finally did it. We went out and ran the Booneville Backroads Ultra. I-O-W-A! IOWA! IOWA! It was a LOOOOOOOOONG time coming (months and months and numerous podcasts later), but we did the thing! Today Thad Burkamper joins me on the show to tell the tale of his first attempt at a 50k while I explain the story of my very first 100K (62 Miles). As in any good Ultra, there were super high highs and devastatingly low lows. The race itself though was AWESOME- the Iowa countryside is gorgeous, the course was diverse and kept you on your toes, the volunteers and other racers were wonderful, Brad Dains was an outstanding race director and it just felt good to be competing again! But that heat......oh.....the heat. That was rough. That was when the race really kicked you in the face, brought you to your knees (quite literally in some cases) forcing you to dig deep into the ole grit basket deep inside our souls. Huge thanks to everyone who helped me out at Booneville - The race volunteers, anyone and everyone
