Daily News, Thurs, Oct 2

Race Report from Mark Twain 100 in Missouri.

Didya see this video about how Rob Krar deals with depression? Great stuff. Was that camera mounted on a bike? How’d Joel get that long shot?

Do you wear your buckles? If so, why?

Sam’s Spartathlon report.

Ultrarunning Magazine now has a page dedicated to MUT podcasts! Check it out here.

You heard my interview with Nickademus Hollon…now here’s Meghan’s report from Tor des Geants.

New podcast with Michele “Mickey” Graglia. When he gets into something, he really gets into it. Modeling? Yeah, for CK, D&G, and Armani. Ultras? First race ever was a 100. Stage races? He just won his first. Sarah and I had a great time chatting with him about what’s next.

Nine ultra norms you can break.

Leadville is going to a lottery process. Surprised it took this long.

Short news day…what did I miss???

Joel used a FreeFly Movi steady cam system. They ain’t cheap but super impressive when I got to play with one at an expo a few months back. Loved that piece.

Hold up!!! Does the leadville lottery really have only 3 qualifiers or am I reading this wrong?

  If you don’t get drawn, you can enter one of the three races for another chance at gaining entry.

Krar video was very powerful. Vargo story was good, too.

A gentleman from Michigan came to our race packet pickup last Friday night wearing his WSER buckle and I thought it was badass. Stoked up a great conversation.

Not really have a 100 buckle yet, I think wearing buckles can be cool…especially when it’s from iconic races – being worn to other races.

Thanks a ton for that link to Rob’s insight on depression. I myself began running to stimulate myself out of depression. I have rapid cycle bi-polar disorder and running has allowed me to cut way down on the meds I was taking. The long distance trail runs along with a much better diet has done wonders to keep me up out of the dark hole. I’d be lying if I said I was 100% cured but there is something about running and specifically running out in the woods on trails that has made it a lot easier for me to deal with my own depression. Thanks again and cheers to Rob for being honest and candid with a subject matter a lot of us try to hide.
