Ending song:
Long Enough by Josh Rosenthal - music.apple.co...
-
We technically call it a race, but it’s really an allotted time to work through our demons.
If we only cared about fitness, we’d run 5k or 10k.
But we do it to be alone on the trail trail against the backdrop of immense human support.
In our heads we are the myth of the cowboy but the truth is that we’re far from it.
We are completely alone with our fitness, lost in our minds, and at the same time we’re surrounded by the most supportive community in sports.
It’s just me and the mountains and my will juxtaposed against the reality that we can’t do it without others.
In 2019, Jeremy Cox set out on the Buffalo 100 on Antelope Island only to finish dead last making us wonder how does anyone keep going after the finish line has been torn down.

As a guy that finished a 100 miler minutes before the cutoff, and 2 failures before that finish…I love this dude! Inspiring stuff!

@borderlandstr Год назад

Wow, thanks!

@indigoiis Год назад

Thank you for sharing your story. Having DNF'd my first attempt at a hundred, it makes me want to try again. You have good friends to have helped you through it!

@borderlandstr Год назад

You can do it!

@brianhapeman9262 Год назад

Try again. Even if you DNF again, you’ll always come out of it a different person. P.S. I’m 0-3 with 100 mile attempts.

@borderlandstr Год назад

I am 1 for 9 on 100 mile attempts. Trying again next year.

@dlynn1960 Год назад

I loved the comparison of a trail race/ultra to a marathon…the trail/ultra community is awesome…and while I’ve never been DFL, I have DNF’d. This was a great reminder that it’s against our minds and that it’s really mind over matter!

@borderlandstr Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

I’ve been there, DFL. My first half marathon in Casper Wyoming. Dead F#%£*

@borderlandstr 10 месяцев назад

I love it! Thanks for sharing. We're out there for ourselves. An in-tact finish line is nice, but not mission critical.

@mikethomasa2944 11 месяцев назад

Awesome vid guys! As a back of the pack runner I can really relate to this. Nice work on finishing 👍

@borderlandstr 11 месяцев назад

@borderlandstr Год назад

Great job!

@amyfriesland723 Год назад

Super Inspiring!! Currently training for my first 50 miler and it’s hard!! But I am so excited to see what I am capable of. Thanks for sharing this!!

@borderlandstr Год назад

You got this! Good luck.

@jimmoses6617 11 месяцев назад

The goal for me on my first 50 was to get to the starting line healthy and feeling not burned out. It worked for me. Less miles during training can be helpful. Do not overtrain. Take rest days if you feel like it. Good luck! :)

This was absolutely fabulous and very inspiring. I hope there are many more projects like this as this area needs more attention!!!

@borderlandstr Год назад

We agree! Thanks for your support!

@ry_head Год назад

Jeremy, hope to see you at Wasatch 100 this year. Thank you for your sharing your story. I would be honored to shake your hand. =)

@borderlandstr Год назад

We’ll pass the message along to him!

@Ajumi- Год назад

in my opinion this movie could've been way better, in essence just everybody says "Jeremy is a badass" (what he truely seems to be, no offense :D) BUT it would've been way better to "really" see him (for longer sequences) walking and takling the race. Oh and all the other stuff which usualy is important in those races, for example nutrition. A strategy (to survive :D)... in my opinion this is a good start, but the next badass thing Jeremy does has to be filmed more! (just more of everything except people talking about him which is nice to have but not soo exciting than to see him really be out there)

@borderlandstr Год назад

Thanks for the comment! We agree. We would have loved to have had a camera on him back when it actually happened!

@notsosashafierce5445 Год назад

Wow, what a remarkable highlight. I often hear of friends/coworkers working toward 100 miles, but never understood the whole process. Truly amazing, and an awesome story!

@borderlandstr Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Well said.

@mattjames3062 Год назад

I love the comment how we do this to be alone, but can't do it with out tremendous support. Thanks to all the volunteers at races.

@borderlandstr Год назад

And our crews!!

@DiegoSchmunis364 Год назад

great story and very inspiring. Just sad to hear that no one else would have finished what they set out to do just because some artificial finish line wasn’t there any longer. Jeremy set to run 100 miles. And he did. That’s the motivation. To finish what we started no matter what’s or not at the end!

@borderlandstr Год назад

I think those that said they wouldn’t have finished isn’t because of the finish line being torn down. It’s because when your body fails you to the degree that Jeremy’s failed him, it’s very difficult to push through. It’s really hard to know when you’re on the trail if your pain is temporary or if you’re doing long term damage. Are you thirsty or is it rhabdo, you know?

For anyone wondering, like I was, DFL is short for "dead last" finisher. And DNF is "did not finish". Keeping going as the support structure is dismantled is all fine and dandy as long as there's no unexpected medical emergency. If there was extra first aid on standby for duration of the race and they've been let go home to sleep, and then you're trying to raise them, might be a problem, but if you can self support then you didn't need the race infrastructure to keep you safe and could have gone for a 100 mile run anytime and saved yourself the cost of the entry fee...

@borderlandstr 11 месяцев назад

Runners who toe the starting line don’t plan to come in after the finish line is torn down. They do it because everything about the community effort is good. The starting line, aid stations, pacers, etc. the energy is irreplaceable. It’s more than just moving your body 100 miles. If you can run 100 miles at an established race, yes you can do it anytime. But that’s not the point.

@horsebattery9243 11 месяцев назад

@@borderlandstr This is a poor response. You're attributing motives to strangers, in ways you can't possibly know. How can you know what's in the mind of every runner on a start line? And you end with half a statement telling me what something isn't, but not what it is. But then you're a sponsored promotional effort on behalf of Merrell so maybe I shouldn't expect too much.
