Western States 100 with Courtney Dauwalter and Lucy Bartholomew | Salomon Running

At Western States 100 2018, Courtney Dauwalter ran the second-fastest time in the history of the race. And we were able to share the story of Lucy B running her first 100mile race with the support of her Dad, Ash.
Let's relive that day along the very long trail from Squaw Valley to Auburn.

My favorite thing about Courtney is how much she smiles. Everyone looks like they are dying and Courtney's smiling so big her teeth could be used as a lighthouse. What an incredible person.

[@michaeljamieson3582]

These people are why I run. There’s zero malice in the trail running community and it’s a beautiful thing, I hope it stays that way.

[@tmosest]

Agreed! I’m going from couch to 100 miler after losing 130lbs this year. I’m tracking it on TikTok and the running community is really uplifting!

[@garyallan69]

I found the same with triathlons. Everyone knows the pain you have to go through so there is a mutual respect for all

[@IronmanS4]

As a Dad with a 26 yr old daughter that's an athlete as well this got me teary eyed. I love how you guys captured the deep bond between a father & daughter. It reminded me a little of the day I did my first Ironman , my daughter was 12 yrs old at the time and she crossed the finish line with me. 10 yrs later I watched her compete as a Div3 swimmer for the University of Rochester. Been a fan of Courtney since she won the Javelina100 so I wasn't surprised she won WS100. I wish both these amazing women a long and epic career. They represent the sport so well. Thanks for making this film .

[@Banksydog]

Yeah, Mike right there with you. Very late to the party to comment here, but as a father of two girls - twins age 6 Dash I was crying just thinking that I hope they will think of me the same way she thinks of her dad. The fact that seeing her dad gave her the motivation she needed to keep going makes me choke up as I am voice dictating this..

Courtney Dauwalter is becoming a legend!

Courtney cracks me up. Everyone's got their fancy running outfits. Then there's Courtney running in the same garb she probably cleans house in.

[@SalomonTV]

Haha, we're big fans of Courtney too!

[@pitbull912808]

Yeah just goes to show it's more about the person than what cool gear you have.

Running 12 miles is a big day for me. But watching these videos, it f****** motivates me more than anything! I can't imagine running a hundred miles. But there's something about this that totally captivates me. Without even knowing these people, I love them.

Lucy is awesome! 🙌

I've watched maybe 10 videos of various runners in this years race and this is by far the best one...gratz to both of you. And to the dad, great job!

[@chunkee92]

'Sitting feels weird. It's like i'm in glamour shots' :D courtney is awesome

[@dudeatmenangle]

Awesome effort Lucy, I kept checking how you were travelling on the day, so was wonderful to hear your story. You are an inspiration, you exhibit a maturity beyond your years. You will rewrite the record book over the next 10 - 15 years. I look forward to watching your adventure.

[@alisoncampbell7175]

SO GOOD!!! Not only are they incredible, tough athletes but they are DARLING people. Love it.

One of the best Western States productions I've seen! Awesome!

Absolutely! I teared up when Lucy crossed the finish line and her Dad gave her a hug.

[@josphellihsilak4588]

The most unique thing about Courtney is her racing clothes. As an ultra runner myself, you see so much goofy running crap, and here's a monster of an athlete looking like shes wearing basketball shorts. This was fun to watch.

[@Teabonesteak]

This was beautifully filmed. That Courtney is something special. Lisa did terrific for her first WS100.

[@SalomonTV]

Amazing right?

[@katis999]

Amazing

[@math_the_why_behind]

Wow! The longer the race, the more I feel the heat, so I can only imagine running 100 miles in those temperatures!

[@johngardner1898]

Lucy is a great person. In the human race, Lucy lives on the podium. Remarkable for someone so young.

[@robertgendron4683]

What a great way to begin a video on Ultra Running “My ass is on fire”

[@stevo68]

My reaction to that just shows my lack of maturity.

[@crazyfool4325]

I love how much she loves her old man.

[@billbraski]

Lets get it! Im so pumped.... been putting EVERYTHING that i am into becomeing an ultra runner. And it will happen. And its going to happen fast. Yall will see me on this channel someday soon. 🙂 its going to be epic.

[@SalomonTV]

That's the spirit, Bill! 🙌

[@isaaclikesturtles]

While the distances are crazy what surprises me is that Courtney runs with what looks like basketball shorts and maybe a cotton shirt Wich if you run seems like hell already. Also wish I could achieve the mood that Lucy's dad has because he seems so happy.

[@shorerocks]

Coming back from a (for me) deeply disappointing Milan Marathon this is the perfect remedy. Cheers from Germany!

Hope you'll get a better feeling for the next one! Enjoy the recovery now :)

This video is living PROOF that women can do anything men can do IF they train for it! They must dedicate their lives to the task, and when they cross the Finish Line, they are champions... just for having finished the full 100 miles.

[@XEinstein]

I hope to run my first 50 miler this year on my birthday. 14 weeks of training to go on my ultra schedule that started 2 weeks ago, after I completed a 16 week marathon schedule for the fifth time in about three years. Last year I completed a 50 km ultra for the second time and in the next 14 weeks I have at least one 50 km ultra to run before I will run my 50 mile ultra. And I am attempting to do it all on my own without running an event. I hope I'll make it.

[@SalomonTV]

Best of luck out there! 👏

[@readie1212]

How did you get on?

[@XEinstein]

@@readie1212 the 50 miles eventually because a double marathon. I had lost my camera during the day which made me have to run back for a mile or so and there was a bit of detour due to some trails being closed for a bit. When I eventually arrived at my planned finish line I was just a few hundred metres short of the double so I added those on as well. It took forever though, so I wouldn't have won anything had it been an actual event

Courtney acts super goofy, but is easily one of the toughest humans on the planet.
