I met today’s guest at a local running group here in Flagstaff and there I learned how fast and accomplished he is as a runner. He’s raced distances from one mile to 60k and his sweet spot seems to be the 50k distance. He recently completed his first triathlon, placed 8th overall in the Crown King Scramble, 3rd overall in the Adrenaline 50K night run , 2nd overall at the Tushars Mountain Run Marathon, 2nd overall at the Cocodona Elden Crest 36 and most notably placed 5th in the 2024 Imogene Pass Run, there were 599 in the mens division so this puts him in the top 1% of the finishers.
