The Cocodona 250 [2024]: Conquering My First 200+ Mile Ultramarathon Adventure

[@notmyname-bx7bc]

youtube can always use more documentaries of 200 mile ultras. great job.

[@cameronmueller]

I agree. I looked for all the content before attempting Cocodona. Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@emmarunyeard6832]

As a Brit, we don't get to see the beautiful scenery in U. S. A.. so it's a real treat to see just HOW MUCH scenery there is, I love my cosy island but my heart is panging to experience some of that awesomeness (not 250 miles though) please know how appreciated this content is 🎉

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks so much! Arizona is breathtaking, I highly recommend visiting if you can.

[@ej_nogaski]

You may not remember me but we ran together over Hogback Mtn (from miles 31-37) in Marquette… Either way I wanted to say congratulations! Very inspiring. Keep it up! Hope to meet up again at another race in the future.

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks so much man! I think I do recall; appreciate you checking this out and hope to see you again too!

[@austinado16]

Fantastic job Cameron! Amazing videolog of the trail conditions. You're an absolute beast! Thank you for your service to our country, sir!

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you! and you're welcome, I would do it all again. Appreciate you!

[@runningwithsimon]

Congratulations!! And wow you posted this 12 days ago?!?! How is that even possible - i feel I need some tips for that...!

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks Simon! I wanted to get it done before returning to work :)

[@delsman14]

Great video man! Lots of lessons packed in there. Also I love Kaylee keeping expectations real, “no, not really, you still have a mountain to climb!”. Congrats on that finish brother, and great work Kaylee for getting your runner across the line.

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks Adam, I loved your support during the race. Kaylee is a true winner to put up with a race this long!! She is great!!

[@TRLDOGS]

Man, you did a great job. So impressed with the way you handled what came your way. I did the 125 and think I saw you at tuthill.

[@cameronmueller]

You probably did! I was a little delirious at tuthill, hallucinating a lot coming in. Thank you!! and congrats on the 125!

[@SeeChadRun]

Simon is a great guy! Amazing run my friend! New subscriber here too!

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks so much Austin!!

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Beautiful footage and a lesson in how to tackle a task.. Thankyou 🎉

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you for tuning in :)

[@danieljohnsson1862]

Well done sir! You seemed to pace yourself really well, looked fresh as a daisy all through.

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you! The foot issues definitely caused some issues but hey its a huge learning experience.

[@threecallingcrows1371]

Cool vid cam. looks like it was a fun journey.

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks Jesse, appreciate you checking it out.

[@dannydevito2587]

"all downhill from here!" "...not really you have to go up a mountain" HAHAHAHA that was so funny to me lol but great work man this video was suggested on my homepage and so glad it was! you did great!

[@cameronmueller]

I told her about how she is getting a lot of laughs with that comment! Thank you for checking it out! :)

[@ansizfark]

Cograts, great race and video!

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you for watching!

[@matthewgordillo2084]

Awesome Run!!!

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks a lot Matthew!!

[@thebirdbrainss]

Congrats on what looked like an epic run. I'm curious about your gear that you used and more specifically what shoes you chose. I know you mentioned your Hokas. What Saucony shoes did you go with?

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you! I wore the Saucony xodus ultras (the first iteration); this model of shoe just works perfect with my foot. Although I still believe I should of sized up late in the race given how my pinky toe was getting smashed in the toebox.

[@thebirdbrainss]

@@cameronmueller I'm a fan. Had the second version and plan on picking up a pair of the 3s here in a few weeks.

[@kevinjoest2738]

Amazing video, Cameron! Congratulations on your great race. Thank you for taking the time out of it to share the beautiful views, and give us the firsthand account.

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks a lot Kevin. I learned so much for my first 200 and some hard lessons that slowed me down but what is life without growth?

[@MWB12]

awesome video Cameron, thanks for documenting your journey! Congratulations!

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks man, hopefully this shows the variety of ups and downs in a 200!

[@frannietennant5501]

what a wonderful video, well done congratulations..fantastic race good on ya!

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you so much! It was a journey Ill never forget.

[@NeverRegretGoingOutside]

Congratulations 🎉on an incredible effort and achievement.

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you!!!!

[@DoyaCherokee-z6o]

VERY GOOD

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you!

[@interested1801]

Congrats!! Great video

[@cameronmueller]

Thank you!

[@solebrother9620]

Amazing achievement! And great job filming so much of the journey. I think the last thing I'd want to do in that situation is take my camera out amd record myself! Or did you find the camera a positive distraction? That walk into Deer Pass was hard to watch!

[@cameronmueller]

Thanks man, it prob slowed me down to film this but I wanted the memories to relive. Happy you enjoyed the video. My feet took a beating before Deer Pass and I really learned some great lessons about shoe choice for a 200 miler (i.e. sizing up!!)

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Sorry for ignorance but what is a prescribed burn?

[@cameronmueller]

Prescribed burn is a planned fire; it is also sometimes called a “controlled burn”. Usually done for forest management issues and I believe in Arizona its to prevent a larger spread of wildfires if they were to happen.

[@alex_prizzi]

Nice vid, Cam. I really enjoyed our time together on the course. Hit me up if you're ever looking for a partner on an absurdly difficult adventure. Lol

[@cameronmueller]

I enjoy our time together as well Alex, It was nice just naturally bumping into you again later in the race. I def will reach out if I brew up something crazy :) which I am already thinking of what's next! congrats on your finish too!
