Like many other comments, Jim just seems more comfortable being Jim now vs earlier interviews where he seemed to struggle with what he thought people wanted him to be. Meghan does a great job of letting the conversation flow vs many mainstream sports interviewers that have their list of questions that must be asked often to the detriment of the interview. With hindsight it does seem that the injury prevented him from overtraining and his best run was on the day that mattered. The WSER legend grows. Can’t wait for UTMB.

Well earned victory. Best of luck at the UTMB. As much as I would like to see you win the race, I like the fact that the europeans has been able to keep the U.S. runners off the top of the podium.

@@iRunFarMedia thanks for the reply. I just imagined it would have made for an interesting interview considering the race he ran, it being his first wser, first 100 miler, bombed out hard and still finished strong. Was just interested to hear what he had to say about his race. Great work on the coverage! Looking forward to next year
@burkejones82773 жыл бұрын
That was a great interview. Thanks. The finish line stuff is a nice gesture, but there is just too much going on in the background for me to watch any longer than the time it takes to be reminded that there is too much going on in the background.
