Thanks Ryan. You seemed to be a little too thrilled by the fact that I didn't know what time it was. Great job pacing. Watching the last mile was a bit emotional again.

[@riekertvanlith6394]

Congratulations!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Haha I was a little happy your watch died! But as I said during the race, if you would have asked again I would have told ya what time it was. Just didn’t want you to think about the math! You pushed through tough conditions and made it happen!!

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

Great job John!

[@samcantrell7057]

Ryan, that was an awesome video. John, I'm inspired. Both of you are outstanding. Makes me want to ditch my office right now and run in 103 degrees. :-)

[@johntruelove7003]

@@samcantrell7057 Thanks Sam, that doesn't sound fun to me.

[@BTSF]

The Champ Walmsley cheering you onto the track at 25:46 was pretty damn cool! Congratulations to you and John. You crushed it.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

I DIND'T EVEN SEE THAT! Thank you for pointing that out!!!!!!

[@mattirambo2096]

I got goosebumps watching when John crossed the finish line, great video and well done John!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

You and me both!

[@86bench]

Western States, 30min video. What a treat! thanks :)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Allan!!

[@ianc.4601]

Brilliant video. Excellent to see the race from both outside and in. More of this longer form if you can Ryan! And a terrific effort pacing and crewing. Can't run an ultra without support. Team game. Good job.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Ian!!!

[@c-beam3670]

There's absolutely like nothing like watching these Western States experience. Thanks for sharing!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!!

[@josie7188]

Amazing video! Congratulations to John and his great pacer!😁 So inspiring! 👏👏👏👏🤩

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you Josie!!!

[@trailsofanoldrunner]

Great perspective and filming of a relatable runner.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!!

[@GavMaca]

Congrats to John on the finish and to you for pacing and capturing everything. An amazing video! Fingers crossed you'll be racing yourself next time you're on those trails!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks!!! Fingers crossed!!

[@motivationtheoryrunning]

All these years on KZbin and watching videos on WS, I think this was the first time I have seen video of Fords Bar...cool!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Haha cool! It's pretty late in the race and a tough one to pull a camera out for, all you can think about is getting to the river crossing next!

[@jeffmacpherson4283]

One of the sickest vids you've made. Great job!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Jeff!!

[@riekertvanlith6394]

Really enjoyed watching this. Awesome to see the race from the "inside".

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!!

[@MegaBabygal1]

I was crying there at the end and i can't even explain why. Awesome awesome video. Thank you so much.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

That is so cool, thank you so much!!! 👏

[@toddboucher3302]

great video, made it real for all us who may never get there

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Todd!!! Hopefully we can all get there someday, but it's getting harder and harder!

[@kristiwiley8413]

this video makes me so happy :) thanks so much Ryan! Great job John as well! what an amazing accomplishment. and nice work getting that Jim Walmsley finish on video 😃 wowsa

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Kristi! It was an amazing journey!

[@DartmoorPaul]

Awesome!! Great achievement and so pleased for John. You could see how hard he was working when we caught sight in your rear view. WOW, what a race and I still can’t believe with all those “hottest” “DNFs” “less sub24hr” that a doctor from the north of cold, wet England came to Western States and won in 2nd fastest womens time and 7th overall?!? How the heck did she train for that! Awesome.

[@philippegagne268]

Thanks for bringing us along the journey and great job at pacing John to the finish line. Aid stations and volunteers looked amazing. Really enjoyed the longer clips and editing.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Philippe!!

[@olaaldous9748]

Fantastic job making this video!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Really emotional at the end! ❤️

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you Lola!!!

[@HardTravelin464]

Great video. I love the decision to let the clips play a little longer. Odds are I’ll never go out to WS so I love getting to see every second of it that I can. Too iconic to leave anything on the cutting room floor.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks!! That is exactly what I was thinking, such a special race! I'd want to see it all if someone else posted it, glad you agreed!

[@stevejosepher7787]

Awesome video, Ryan! Your love and respect for the sport are palpable. Hope you get in soon!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Steve!! That means a lot!

[@ianc.4601]

If you do get in, can I join the queue to pace?!

[@susanwiggins6309]

Felt all the feels! Great video - thanks Ryan.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you Susan!!

[@mandy4887]

Phenomenal coverage. The Jim Timer has nothing on the Buckle Cam. 😂 That race ending... wow. Dehydration from tears, not sweat. Thank you!!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

THank you Mandy!!! Haha, the buckle cam is coming back, just need to figure out a permanent camera for it!!

[@RJ-iu7ze]

What a brilliant perspective on the race - loved it. Nice work John in getting it done in under 30 hours in the end - it was clearly an emotional moment at the end there.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Rom!!

[@thefamilythatruns]

Loved fallowing John with updates from Majel and shads videos. Great overall video way to keep him on trail👍👍

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!! It was a blast!

[@shawnr.9681]

Yet another great video capturing the essence of WS, duties of a crew member and the buckle finish ! Thanks

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you so much Shawn!

[@andrewryder1319]

Wow! Great film!! I was pumping my fist as John entered the track and ultimately crossed the line. The channel just keeps getting better and better!! And no-one couldn't script the guy falling back from the line at 29 hours and 58 minutes. Oh my goodness!!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you Andrew!!!!! They guy falling back, insane!!

[@eriktred]

Hey Ryan, I really enjoyed your first person commentary on pacing. Great unique video.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Erik!

[@Joeely618]

Terrific video, Ryan. My wife and I stayed up late on Tuesday to watch it on our larger TV...just terrific video and storytelling. Glad you let the camera run a bit more. Mega congrats to John for persevering through such awful heat, especially in the Canyons. Thanks for the video going into and out of the Rucky Chucky River Crossing...that has to be really tough at that stage of the race, especially in the dark, even with the many volunteers helping. My wife is totally impressed, BTW. Thank you!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

thanks Joe!!! the river crossing was amazing!! Doing it in the middle of the night was a trip. So cool to experience firsthand.

[@Regimeshifts]

Absolutely LOVEEEE this perspective!!!!!!

Best way to see these big races are to crew or pace! Good luck!!

[@tonycover949]

Top video. Great job pacing and balancing the video clips at the same time. Hope you get to run it one day 👍🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@robynbiren8421]

Loved your video! I was out there too, crewing and pacing my friend, #235. She was just behind you and John and ended up having to withdraw for medical reasons at Pointed Rock. When you were filming after you guys left ForestHill and stopped to cross the road that you paused at and said “all clear” and then you continued across and down the trail, the house you passed on your left as you got back on the trail was the house we were staying in during the race. I’m sure we were at ForestHill at the same time. Glad John made it. It was SUPER tough this year out there!!!!! (And sooooooooo much poison oak. Ugh!)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

That's crazy you were there at the same time!!! Sorry to hear about your runner, but yes it was a super tough year! Lots and lots of poison oak out there, but I guess I was spared, only had a few little spots from it!

[@Michael-hc3ft]

Amazing video. Congratulation John! Ryan I'm glad you kept the "extra" footage in there.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Glad you enjoyed it Michael, thanks!!

[@cameron5882]

Really enjoyed this style of editing. Keep doing you my dude.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks Cameron!! 👏👏👏

[@JimmiePresley]

Nice edit. Love your choice of music at the right times but also really like hearing the ambient sounds of your experience while not using sound. Gives it a nice documentary feel. 👍

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you so much Jimmie!

[@JimmiePresley]

@@RyanClaytonFilms Absolutely. And I ran a 50K last April so now plan to do a 100K. Maybe someday I'll get up to 100 miles!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

@@JimmiePresley awesome!! Smart to slowly work your way up and experience each distance, you’ll gain a lot that way!

[@madr309]

We only ever see the race from the aid stations. Great to see some of the actual course. Your friend John has a lot of fans; I was watching the livestream of the end of the race, and every minute or so, someone in the chat asked where he was or how he was doing.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Ha that is hilarious!! I need to go back and watch the livestream!!

[@clintisatallrunner]

Great job, I do like the longer clips. It gives me the ability to think about if I want to do it not (except Western States which I would probably never get into or win the lottery)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

That's awesome Clint, thanks! It's definitely a race that everyone wants to do because of all the fanfare, but it's really hard too and I think a lot of people forget about that part haha
