David is a machine. I had the honor of having my butt handed to me in a 48 hour race, last weekend by him. And to top it all off... he is really a nice guy after running you in the dirt. The World needs more guys like him.. As you would say, David... "Stay Hard" -k

[@davidjones9545]

Absolutely maximum respect to this man. Incredible.

[@hattube]

His story inspired me to run 40 miles in under 10 hours but I couldn't fathom running 135 miles in 130 degree heat - these are true warriors.

He does this for a charity that pays to school the kids of fallen special ops soldiers. As a seal, this is the real reason he can do this. He would run himself to death to honour his fallen comrades, I don't doubt it.

[@EpicMixTV]

This must be like a near death experience, finishing such an ultra marathon, respect

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

He's thinking about those kids - he's not even thinking about his accomplishment. He's leaving it out there for those SOF kids. Amazing.

[@xMonze18x]

I met him today he came to talk to my cross country team and he is definitely a great mentor and worrior to look up to.

[@gabeuop79]

I'm sure he's absolutely ecstatic about his time and 3rd place finish, but as he says, "I have nothing left." He's absolutely drained of everything. Similar to most finishers of Badwater - they don't seem very happy once they finish, but it's only because they don't have the energy to express it! A great documentary about Badwater is called "Running On The Sun" - worth checking out.

Damn, he looks like he is about to cry. I feel it. Looks like he has seen monsters. Makes me feel sad.

[@inglesyeses]

so impressive. Poor guy - he's sittin there with Zero energy, and i'm sure the last thing he wants is to have to think and talk. at the beginning i thought, he's not gonna be able to talk. but anyway, Big Thumbs Up. Incredible

[@badoocee1967]

Motivation for the day or year. Cool deal.

[@MrCazalberto]

No use to look back, no use to look down. Pain! Feels good! Great Duff Goggins! 6.91' per kilometer... a hell of a pace.

[@Essaminina1]

[@Jonesy202]

I got a shot of motivation watching this guys youtube video's. Thank you.

[@FerminBanawa]

Very motivating! I would love to try and do this one day.

[@GoNavySEAL]

absolutely amazing!

[@extravoltage1]

I run my heart out 3 days a week in the hot afternoon sun, always 165 bpm or higher, come dangerously close to passing out - the worst seems to hit after I stop running and just wanna collapse and have a whiteout. I can definitely imagine how he feels after this race. It puts you pretty much in a bad mood, sorta out of your mind.

[@MrRubnsmoke]

TRUE INSPIRATION!!

[@Deepdesert]

Motivating!

[@BusanKevin]
