Hey everyone. Thanks for all the kind words and stoked you love the video. Here’s to more challenges 😅👊
-
well done Rich, we need a video about what the presenters partners have to put up with when they other halfs are doing these big events.
-
Hey Rich, I was in the Marine Corps for a spell. I was sick and did a double murph after coming back from leave and getting ready for a training cycle. I wound up having pretty bad rhabdo after the workout. It wound up haunting me for the rest of my career because of how badly it sidelined me. I recovered physically but it's something that mentally really messed me up for a few years. Major props to you for working through it, and being able to come to my home in Arizona to crush the race again.
-
outstanding to see you not only complete the old pueblo but finish in style this year Rich
-
This was awesome rich , congratulations on coming back and finishing what you started!!🤙
-
Awesome stuff, Rich!!! This is what I'm trying to teach my kids. You fall, you stand up... you check your losses... you learn from the experience... and you definitely come back to accomplish the thing!!! Great video, great ride, great spirit. And.... 1. See 2. You 3. Next 4. Time 5. .... ...
-
I'm 40 years young, and this year I have start racing marathon races. I can tell you this video is great motivation and awesome energy! Congratulations Rich for finishing this monstrous race 🤘
-
Genuinely one of the most inspiring videos I have seen in a long time. I have never wanted to run marathons or even really try XC but having gotten into mtn biking in the past couple years and following your now third 24 hour race it’s made me want to set this kind of goal. Also. That look of sincerely deep satisfaction at the end of the interview was pretty cool too
-
Thanks for coming back to the desert and having a smashing race! Well-paced, great support...glad your better-half Aimee came along...and exacting revenge on last year's ride! Loved the production too! Wish you and the GMBN crew could have a corporate team here next year! Blake, Neil, and even Martyn on the random tandem for some laps! It would be a party for sure!
-
