Music from Artlist.io:
But as the Radiance Left Your Eyes
How Could the World Contain You
Go Softly Go Lightly Go Bold
And My Heavy Heart Found Its Wings Once Again
For There's a Mighty Captain in These Turbulent Seas
And Depart from the Weight of the World
The Static of Silence Ahead
Who Else Would Walk Through These Shadows with Me?
All music by The SoundKeeper

This was one of the best running documentaries I have seen! I followed every second of the live stream and every time they captured you there was an energy around you. This video just kept that story going and showed all the sides. You highlighted the highs and the lows and just captured it all beautifully! Well done and congratulations on your finish!

Thank you Matt! Bay Area running legend Chuck Wilson impressed upon me the importance of a positive attitude as I was training for my first 100. It isn't always easy, and because it isn't always easy, it has to be a decision to be positive. Doesn't mean low points won't happen, as this shows out of Sedona, but you can't let negativity take root and grow. Stay positive!

Thanks Damian. And thank you for taking the time to watch it. Projects like this have three major phases for me: 1. Planning. I print wall maps and study elevation profiles and watch whatever video I can find to get mentally ready. 2. Run the thing. In this case that’s nearly a week all it’s own! 3. Make the video. It’s a fun albeit busy and slight stressful way to stay in the enjoyment of the race as I relive it through the documentary I make. It is hard work, all of it, but I love it.

Traveling across the land on my own feet gives me a sense of connection to that place that feels very intimate. The places I run become so special to me, and to return or just drive by fills me with energy. The Cocodona course is a part of me now and I still feel it buzzing inside me a little. Such an incredible experience.

Thank you! I stayed in Flagstaff the Friday night before the Monday race start and used the opportunity to climb Mt Elden on fresh legs. It struck me as not a terrible hike. Not easy, but not as hard as I expected. The second time I climbed it, six days and 242 miles later, it was more challenging. I pressed hard going up the second time! That preview hike led to great Strava comments that led me to the best pizza in town. Yum! Thanks for watching!

Great job Wes - for the video and for your run, which was amazing - 34th - wow!. You got so much footage and really captured the feeling of what is was like to be out there (in all that heat). I loved that you and Kerry sync'd up and were a support to each other. He's a great guy and is always Mister Positivity about everything. I don't know if you'll ever do this one again but you rocked it - well done - Congrats!

Aa a fellow endurance athlete I have been to those dark places only to come back out and feel fantastic. Amazing what the human body and mind can do.
