I’ve been enjoying the days after Western States to let it all soak in and be in this moment of my life. It was a very exciting time and something that will be with me forever. It’s nice when days go well, somedays they don’t.
Here is a playlist of music i jammed too as i frolicked along the Western States trails. I’m positive there is a plethora of other inspiring artists/music out in the world, but here are a few songs that helped me to move along.

Awesome Timmy – I told you that your interview would be a great hit with the Talk Ultra community and it has been… currently topping the download charts! A great story, a great result and a great future ahead. I too am dreaming of six things before breakfast…. best wishes, Ian

All the best to you.

So happy to share the day with you.

Inspiring run on a beautiful course! Good to see the occasional tunes can help to re-focus your energy towards the finish line. We going to see you at the starting line at TRT next week?

Amazing stuff! I’m a mid pack runner when it comes to ultras, I can’t imagine what it would be like to win a 100 and set a CR. Congrats!!!

Congrats to that achievement. I’ve been following you guys for quite a while and I must say I’m really jealous of what you guys can do, bear and enjoy. Hope I can finish an Ultra myself some day. Certainly looking forward to it.
Regards from Germany!
Awesome race! The playlist is right up there, especially the Into the Wild LP.
Also, I enjoyed the shots of the race. Keep up the good work man!
