This ultra running documentary follows my trail running adventure racing Bighorn 100 miles Ultra Marathon in Wyoming - my first of many mountain 100 miles ultra marathons this season. This is also my 32nd 100 miles Trail Ultra Marathon over the last 30 months as I ultra run 100 miler monthly for the third year in a row.

Bighorn 100 miles ultra marathon is an in-and-out race in Wyoming with a rich history. Race weekend at bighorn ultra marathon also includes Bighorn 52, Bighorn 32 and Bighorn 18. It's a mountain race in the Bighorn mountains - with a mix of semi-technical single track and double track. The race goes up to ~8,500 ft of altitude - so not the highest but also you'll feel the thinner air. There's also roughly 20,500 ft of elevation climb - enough to transform your legs and quads into pudding. But more than anything, the course is notorious for the wet mud and snow - making it impossible to keep your feet dry. Be prepared for blisters and hamburger meat feet. Yummy!
It was a tough race for me - with very low energy. But mostly, low motivation. I hope the movie still does justice to this race - because this is an amazing ultra marathon. I was just not in the mood...I guess it happens.
Just like for Bryce Canyon 100 miles, at Bighorn 100 Miles, I was testing some Joe Nimble shoes on this one - Trail Addict Pro-R. I'll post my review soon - great shoes when used for the right situation. #flyabovereason #toefreedom #runabovereason @joenimble. I was also testing headlamp from Fenix HM65R-T - great headlamp - stay tuned for both reviews!
Next race is Quebec Mega Trail 100 miles on July 4. I'll also be able to spend some time with family and friends back home!
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits! Simon
