Western States 100 2024 - Top 3 men to watch!

[@KlamparDafenrad]

As a Kiwi, it's cool to see Dan Jones get a mention.

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

He’s so good! Will be in my top 5 picks for sure, haven’t decided where yet, maybe 3rd

[@KirstinBrown-j1d]

Rooting for Daniel!!!

[@thegallopinghousewife]

Hey, you stole my comment! 😃 I'm going to be screaming go kiwi loud enough to hear from Scotland.

[@seanmac80]

DJ is an absolute weapon, and a really good dude to boot. I reckon he and Hayden will work as a team to hunt Jim, and it be really interesting to see what those tactics look like on the day. It's such a stacked field as well; even a bit of a blow-up will see runners plummet in the placings.

[@Anthony-yd2we]

Going with this 1. Walmsley 2. Albon 3. Hawkes

[@1519Spring]

Appreciate these videos!

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

Appreciate you watching them 🙏

[@zacmunroe5534]

Love these vids. Thanks for the brief breakdown.

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

Appreciate that. Thanks for watching 🙌

[@Quintinia]

I was just wondering when your preview videos would be coming out! I'm so excited to see how the race goes this year!

[@brianjackson4576]

Great video, ty. You going to do a preview of the women?

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

Absolutely, should be finished and online tonight / tomorrow. Thanks for watching

[@dougiedoesstuff]

Difficult to bet against Jim but your other two picks are the only other ballpark mentions. It will be a brilliant battle for second. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤙🏼

[@trailahead]

What about Tyler Green he's come in second a couple of times there in very recent years

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

Can’t rule out Tyler. I’ve got him in my top5 picks

[@KTravRuNEr]

Im really rooting for Hayden Hawks!!!

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

I hope he has a great day

[@staxx7753]

This is jims course he has it mastered , he will crush it again

[@gojeffgo]

I got Hawks, Dan Jones and Jim (i think he'll have a slight blow up going for sub 14). I love Albon and rarely bet against him but a hot 100 mile debut against this field it tough. Hope I'm wrong!

[@Evildeadge]

nice video ty

[@CaseyRoteRuns]

Jim wins easily, this is his best course in my opinion. Hes super fast which works perfect for Western States. If hes healthy he will get it done. I think Jon Albon will push him though for second.

[@Sunnydaypicnic]

Ooooo it’s going to be fun!!!

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

I can’t wait

[@Run_4Fun]

Has Scott Jurek already participated in the UTMB?

[@dk4232]

Yes. Can't remember exactly how he did. I seem to recall him finishing near female champion Liz Hawker one year in about 18th overall

[@jillsy2815]

What about Jared Hazen? Is he running? What about Aurélian? Jim ftw🎉

[@Nojusragauskas]

Walmsley ftw

[@cedricviano6415]

Jim 1st & Simon Gosselin 2nd !

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

If you’re good enough to train with Jim, you’re good enough to complete here. He’ll be in my top10 for sure

[@pete801]

Walmsley does not fuck about. Cannot go against Jim

[@theultratrailbreakdown]

That’s one way of putting it 😂

[@davidtarbuck3532]

I don’t this race is for Jon… too much running on this course
