Seth's ascent time was 5+ minutes faster than Joe Gray's winning ascent time yesterday, just awesome.

Two of the hardest working guys in the biz, Joe & Seth. What a weekend!

[@tylernero6671]

Too be fair to Joe, it was really nasty conditions up high yesterday, but Seth definitely crushed it today.

[@lyviusvik7311]

Congratulations for your 2nd Pikes Peak win Seth, 3min less in the Ascent, you are so amaizing, looking forward to the vlog tomorrow, enjoy the Andy's with your familly :) Notes: your ascent time 2021 (2:06:44) is close to the legend Joe Gray ascent record on 2016 (2:05:28) and faster than of Kilian Jornet time in 2019 (2:09:12), hoping you will reach Matt Carpenter record (2:01:06), cheering from Montréal.

[@brandot4810]

This weekend's long run was scheduled to be 17-18 miles on Saturday the day before this hurricane got to the northeast and it was hotter and more humid than i anticipated and I most certainly under fueled. I did manage to grind and grit myself to 17 miles at a much slowed pace from my usual and then proceeded to lay on the beach where I finished until my mom could come pick me up because i was so fatigued. I watched this just before watching you finish this morning. Congratulations Seth!

[@astolzy]

First of all: GO GET EM SETH!! Then My "long run" this week was 13 miles (Sat)... was planning on getting some trail action. On Friday found out about a local half marathon on some walking paths in the woods, so we showed up on race day and registered 😁 Still ran it at "long day pace" and had fun along the way. Actually ended up just a bit faster than planned, and was able to test out a pair of my shoes at a longer distance/ slower pace, so definitely learned a lot there. Glad I did it! 🙌🏼 and like everyone has said in the COTD this weekend: SO very grateful for all the volunteers, especially since in our case it was very humid and lots of mosquitos 😬 the volunteers were awesome! lots of "thank you for being here" was said! 🙏

[@sandratessem9980]

Congrats on winning the Pikes Peak marathon 2021

[@anonymousanonymous-ym9vn]

Crushed it on the ascent! PPM website currently shows 2 hr 6 min 44 seconds. Looks like the best PPM or PPA ascent time since 2016 when Joseph Gray finished the PPA in 2 hr 5 min 28 seconds.

[@dgowl1970]

Have a strong run Seth. This morning I ran strong and ran half marathon distance. My longest run of the year after tearing my meniscus at the start of the year. With a waiting list of over a year for an operation I instead had physio and did lots of rehab and leg strength work. The hard work is paying off as the knee is holding up well as I increase distance. Hoping to run another marathon before the end of the year. DGR strong 💪

[@JP11277]

3:36:44 unofficial W!! Raise the W!

[@cartechgaming9230]

Good luck! I ran a mile long race this week on vacation. My goal was to break 9:00 and I broke 8:00 so I was pretty happy with that!

First of all, wow congrats on PPM win #2!! Second, thank you for the idea of the vest!! I live on the gulf coast and can't get much vert but the vest I bought a month ago really seems to be helping with my strength. My race is on 9/11 in CO and hopefully the training with the vest will help!

QD : I am training for my first marathon this November. Ran 16 miles for the first time on Saturday, felt great as I didn't go out too fast as usual. Maybe this is what gaining a bit of maturity feels like :D.

[@crummockiphail9720]

I ran 16 miles the other day too. When I finished, I asked myself if I could run another 10 miles, the answer was no lmao. I guess I was running un-aided and it started getting pretty hot, but still a long ways to go before I feel confident running a strong marathon. Good luck on your journey too.

[@andybrown6762]

QD: My hope for the Pikes Peak Marathon: I realized today that I have always assumed that I was afraid of the pain associated with running this type of race. But truly, I am not afraid of the pain. I have always been afraid that when the pain comes, I will back down and play it safe. Maybe that means taking the pace down a notch, or stopping too long at an aid station, or stopping to adjust my shoes when all I need to do is push and push the pace and GET IT DONE.

Seth, I adapt that same mentally when I’m in a pool/billiards tournament, I don’t want to know my opponent ahead of time nor do I keep track of what stage I’m at, I just keep playing and taking it one game at a time, one match at a time, I’ve ended up in the finals many times and that’s when I find out cause I’m just focused on the mission and doing my best.

Congrats on your win! Already, like a mad scientist, you’re beginning to think ‘how can I tweak my training block for next year for the threepeat?’ How to run faster? Hmm. Do I lower my highest weekly mileage just to 120 miles? But do more weeks at that mileage? Or do I add more threshold runs on course specific terrain? Enjoy the experimenting! 😆🤣

[@greenmountainrunner9273]

Good Luck Seth! QoD: not racing today but when I do race especially challenging ones i.e. first 1/2, first Ultra, my incentive is to face my fears, my insecurities about myself because I know when I do I come out "mentally" stronger on the other side.

[@jmichael382]

QOD: First night race of my life, the Windfall Full Moon Trail Race in Alpine, CA (about 30 minutes east of San Diego) on Saturday night was epic. My hope was to enjoy the 15K trail adventure. One thing about racing at night (only with a headlamp that lights up your path in front of you, and on a mountain 3,000 feet above sea-level) is you have no clue what's awaiting you up ahead. Steep uphills and steep downhills on a narrow technical course can catch you off-guard, but that's the thrill of racing at night. As opposed to running morning trail races; not having to endure the mental stress of seeing those hills (especially the steep uphills) up ahead, allowed me to enjoy every step of the race.

[@rohannairn4403]

Good luck Seth, you’ve put in the work. I’m sure it will pay off
