CAN I HACK IT AS A “TRADITIONAL RUNNER” IN A BACKYARD ULTRA?! BRING IT ON!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

As a “traditional runner” I’ve had the good fortune to experiencing pretty much #AnySurfaceAnyDistance in distance running: from racing 800m and the mile on the track in middle school to running 5k/10k and Marathons in college. I’ve run in a few US Olympic Marathon Trials, won a World Mountain Championship, and made the Golden Trail Series as well as the SkyRunning World Finals. I’ve finished Western States and UTMB100 (not always well) and have been Top 20 at The Chicago and Boston Marathons. So now I say this: BRING IT BACKYARD ULTRAs!

Thanks for this opportunity @lastsoulultra and @kim.gottwald

In a competitive race or event, there are often times many clearly and logically written rules and regulations that are very black and white. If we let some (but not all) runners break these established rules and regulations (at some times) then we’re taking away equity for all competitors. We’ve introduced subjective bias and favoritism into an arena should be judged and valued purely objectively. This creates even more inequity in the sport.
