Thank you so much for not showing or including audio of you getting sick!! lol I’m sorry about you DNFing but glad to hear you still had a blast at the event! A bad race still ended up turning great in the end, sometimes that’s what running is all about! Adjusting to situations and still finding a way to have fun and support others!

[davidfecteau]

Thank you for posting this Wes and showing such an honest portrayal of your struggles. You've had some great accomplishments. This looks like a very tough course.

[SeeChadRun]

What a race! So stunning from the mountains, the views on top the ridge, the descents, and just everything. My face would be so tired from smiling. LOL! Sorry to hear about your DNF, but you still did an amazing job. Probably best to listen to your body and not overdue it. Loved the video!

[Duckling]

Having someone like you at the aide station is priceless! Thanks for another great video!! That course looked rough! Steep and technical.

[daverinthewoods]

Those views are stunning! I wish I didn't have such a fear of heights, bc this would be on my bucket list. I was getting nervous just watching.Thank you for sharing!

[ultrarunningcharity]

WOW. This takes me back to the fantastic views. Nice sharing some trails with you. Cheers 🍻 Jerry

[suem]

Great video again. That was quite the climbing - unbelievable. Way to make a tough situation fun by volunteering.

[UntalLaurencio]

Just the views were worth it. Wise decision Wes, I hope you get better and great way to finish on a high note.

[njm]

Another Epic race video… incredible and thank you for sharing…great effort 👊👏

[jasonnaomismith]

Inspiring journey to follow along with as usual Wes! I've ran down in those parts, their is some tough terrain for sure. Come north and check out the Deathrace! It's a killer too ;)

[zachariahthull]

Glad you had a good race weekend, despite the DNF. Also, Is that a Squawk Mountain Hoodie? I have 3 or four of them, and love them.

[davidhayward]

Brilliant video Wes. Keep it going 👍🏃🏻‍♂️💪

[hibiru]

The part of the course that you ran was gorgeous.

[JohnC]

Another great video Wes. That area is brutal. Super technical with steep climbs/descents. There's a skyrace in that area called 'meet the minotaur' which destroyed me. I hope you will come back to conquer the divide. Would you say its on the level of Bigfoot difficulty wise?

A lot of sinister sports races are brutal, from Death race, to sinister7, the divide200. The RD definitely pushes people to get the best out of them. They are putting on a new 200 in Canada next year I believe, you should sign up!

[mattinissinen.]

Hey wes, great video again!! Stay strong and keep on going 💪🔥

[marksammon]

Well do me Wes, some days it's just not meant to be.
Good on you for volunteering at the same event too!

Whoa. My nightmare as an RD. Was it just going to be selfserve? You could get away with that in a 100 if you absolutely had to but I imagine 200s have higher expectations given the distances between.

[Ojibwayrunner]

Hey wes, what are the bottles you have in your vest, where did you get them, and did they come with those tops? That race looks tough and I am sure you will be back to complete it in the future. Love the videos.
