 Good evening YouTube. Good evening or good morning. Good afternoon or good night whenever you're watching this. Hello. Good to see you It's run rabbit run 100 week I'm gonna do something totally different from what I usually do on the daily vlog the daily story here on the YouTube I'm just gonna talk to you just gonna talk to you maybe throw a little b-roll on top of it But mostly just talk to you straight up for five to seven minutes about run rabbit run 100 if you're new to the channel welcome welcome glad you're here Thanks for subscribing. Basically. I'm a runner big runner. I love running been running since well Maybe seventh grade middle school, you know 20 years ago 20 plus years ago, and I don't do 10ks now I don't do half marathons. I do them every now and then but I mostly do long distance running meaning Long distance this Friday. I'm running a hundred mile race like a foot race not on a bike Not on a motorcycle not on not in a Jeep on on my feet my little feet Over the ground for a hundred miles through the Rocky Mountains 20,000 feet of vertical it's called run rabbit run I actually don't even know but I believe it's called run rabbit run because there's this this mountain pass that you Have to drive over in order to get down into steamboat Springs where the race starts and there's some rock formations on top of The pass that look like rabbit ears, so I think that's why it's called run rabbit run I should look that up. I should figure that out, but It's an interesting race. It's a it's it's Plowing new ground in the ultra running world in different ways But the probably one of the most significant ways is the prize money. Holy guacamole They're not afraid to dish out some money to the hard work of the runners lots of money In fact more money than any other race in the entire world. It's crazy It's crazy, but we're grateful for to the race directors us runners out there Who are competing and vying for you know top spots whether it's men or women and It's nice to get a little financial recognition in the running world and in the ultra running world because all these runners Whether you're finishing, you know at 32 hours or whether you're finishing at 18 hours Like every single one of us is gonna have put in blood sweat and tears you better believe it for you Know years and years of training leading up to this race So we're grateful in addition for the first time ever that I know of and definitely the first time for this race They are launching the rabbit cup the rabbit cup. What is that? It's a team competition in an ultra race. How cool is that? It's like cross-country all over again What does it what comprises a team? basically you have three people on a team and the top male and top female combined times from the hundred mile distance will Though whoever has the lowest time the least amount of time that team with the three people will win a lot of money I think it's 50,000 50,000 geez now I'm not on a team this year maybe down the road, but once again run rabbit run is Pushing the limits of ultra running through this new twist in the team competition in this race And it's the first time ever in this anyway. I digress all I'm saying is it's exciting to be a part of an event That is pushing the limits in many different ways So my family and I you'll see it here on the YouTube will drive up on Thursday and rest Thursday night 8 a.m. So there's two divisions in this race the tortoise division and the hare division the tortoise division As you can imagine or people that are just kind of you know, they're not going out for Lightning bolt speed. They're just going out to finish and do it and it's amazing now They start at 8 a.m. On Friday morning my division my race starts at noon on Friday And from what I've heard there might be tracking live tracking on the website and I believe let me check it's right That's the website and I believe they're gonna try and have live tracking on the athletes in addition If you're on Twitter, you that's a good spot. I'm guessing the hashtag is gonna be Hashtag RRR 100 that's just my guess I don't know that so if you're looking for live updates from people out on the course or race directors or what have you go To Twitter as far as I'm concerned Basically, I'm gonna pack all my stuff tomorrow Tuesday and then just I'm in full full taper mode It feels great the legs feel recovered very recovered. I don't feel overtrained I don't I might feel even slightly under trained. I've mentioned that on Strava I don't know that I just I put in a good summer, but I haven't been hitting 100 mile weeks not even close But I have been as you know running with the vest and I do believe I have put on some good strength Especially in the last six weeks of training because of that vest and hitting the weight room I'm not gonna talk about my full Strategy for the race right now. I'll do that probably Thursday So I'll publish it Thursday night Friday morning before the race and then of course I will not be publishing Friday Saturday and we'll see if I'm alive on Sunday. Yeah, the bottom line is we're excited. We're grateful for this training block I'm grateful for the mountains and having been able to get up there a decent amount this year and Again, I know this is a Unusual daily story for this channel. I'm just talking I never do this But I just want to get it all on the table for the week because the week is gonna go quick and Friday Afternoon at noon is gonna come quick so I just wanted to get all this information in front of you and I hope you can follow along, you know, whether It's on Strava or Twitter or on their website I don't know how you're gonna follow along, but it's just gonna be fun And I'm excited to bring you along the journey. You know, I will you know, I will I think that's it. I think that's it. What am I missing? Hmm Run. Oh, yeah, I went up there two weeks ago. So that was good to preview parts of the course I feel really good about doing that and you know, I don't know the course perfectly But supposedly it's gonna be well marked. That's the goal and the goal for me is just to latch on to a couple people and just tuck in for Sounds kind of crazy to say that. All right, folks. That's it. Good night. Au revoir. We will see you
