“I just kept running.” That was Willie’s response when I asked if he stopped to put on a jacket or poncho when it was raining hard throughout the beginning of Arkansas Traveler, his first 100 mile race. It’s as simple or complicated as we make it. Willie didn’t overthink it throughout training or on race day. He put in the work for months, kept moving until he crossed the finish line, and was always smiling. Big congrats to Willie on getting his first 100 mile finish!My happy place. #gsmnp301 out of 2,190 miles complete on the Appalachian Trail. Brian and I knocked out 15 more miles from Fontana Dam to Stecoah Gap.James gave it his all at his first 100 mile attempt. The heat and humidity took its toll throughout the day, and he was not where he wanted to be time wise at mile 40. But James kept moving and made it all the way to mile 77 before missing the cutoff. His intention leaving mile 40 was, “to try and go as hard as I could and get as far as I could regardless of the cutoffs.” I am so proud of him for his perseverance and positive perspective following the race. But most importantly, he was proud of himself because he knew he gave it his best effort. @cts_trainright
