Honored to be listed 3rd among these stellar men for @ultrarunningmag North American Ultrarunners of the Decade. The past 20 years have been a pretty wild ride in this sport of trail junkies. I remember picking up this magazine in the early 2000s when I first got into ultras, dreaming of running races in cool places and being like the fast guys in the magazine. Congrats to the Top 10 men and women on this list. Hard earned. ?? Here’s to another decade. ?? Giddyup!
