I am not a big fan of hyperbole but in my experience what Courtney did yesterday was the greatest single run in ultra/trail history.
There have been a lot of big names who have finished Western States over the years. And these eight elite ultrarunners have never run it as fast as one woman ran it yesterday.
Go Courtney.

For anyone whose been around the sport for a while this has been a great day. Anton inspired a generation in 2006-07 with his exploits and had been doing other things for the past 15 years. Having him return to Leadville this year and run well is a breath of fresh air we all need

today and I think the future is pretty clear. UTMB/Ironman (like the big 5 tech firms) think they’re too big to fail and they, and their “partners”, are certainly acting that way. Now, it’s up to us to stand up to the bully. Who’s in?
