 Good job, great job, great job. Looking strong, looking strong, looking strong. Great job, kill it in. Ah, good morning everybody. The sun is rising in Colorado Springs and yes, the Pikes Peak marathon is today, the 2019 edition. Oh boy. So I'm a little sore, a little tired from racing the Ascent yesterday, but I'm gonna do my best to get up the mountain as not as far as I can, probably three or four miles and basically film the leaders with the GoPro. All right, so I'm gonna try and run along side them, but here's the deal, the marathon goes to the top of the mountain and back down and so it's an out and back. So it's, as a one man filming crew, it's not the easiest race to film, but I'll do my best to get as many shots as I can. I think I have to skip the starting line and just go straight up the mountain because they're fast and I gotta get up the mountain before the gun goes off at the starting line. So that's the deal. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. We're, man, it's gonna be competitive. Okay, I'm just gonna say now, I predict that Matt Carpenter's record does not fall down. I predict it does not fall down. I'm sorry. There's a reason it has stood for, oh my goodness. Has it been over 20 years? I think it's been over 20 years. So Matt Carpenter is a stud. He ran in the 90s way back when I was a kid and I was watching him run this race. So I'll figure out when the course record was and put it on the screen for you right now. I predict that it does not fall today. That's my gut. That's what my gut is telling me. So, all right, we're almost to the starting line and I'm about to bang, I'm about to boom, I'm about to boot it, let's do it. All right, here we go. It's fun to see all the mayors. Craziness. Wacker! Yeah! Both, thank you, sir. Not too shabby, not too shabby. 212. Any last minute advice? Oh man, then run down, do what you did and then just run down. Exactly, exactly. Just go to the pain cave and enjoy it. Okay. I'll try to do that. Yeah, and enjoy the altitude up there. Is this a pain cave in the bathroom? Yes, actually, they're not too bad. Good to see you, sir. Steve and I ran with Wacker at CU. Wacker's the real deal. Andy Wacker, he is fast. He likes to take it out fast, too. So, watch out, he'll probably be near the front at the beginning. All right, we gotta take off. You agree? Oh, there he is. Did you remember, he's been running, come on up here to the start line. You need to get a picture taken, okay? What's that? Okay. Steve and I made it to about mile four and I'm gonna stop here and this is where the leapfrogging begins. We'll see who's in first. Oh man, this is exciting. All right, so I'm gonna geek out a little bit. I've never seen Killian run in person. So, you know, I don't even know how tall he is really. I think he's like a little taller than I am. I'm just excited to see his stride and we'll see how much I can keep up with him, Wacker, Sage, all the crew, Remy. Oh my gosh, there's so many amazing runners up here. So, all right, I'm gonna go actually back down. Steve is going up with his phone. This is fun, this is fun everybody. All right, let's go back down a little. Let the leapfrogging begin. Okay. Great job, great job, great job. Looking strong, looking strong, looking strong. Great job, Killian. Great job, Killian. Great job, Killian. Go get it, go get it. All right, there goes Killian. I didn't get it, I didn't stick with him for as long as I was hoping. Oh man, he is flying. And he's got a lead. So, we're at it again, we're at about mile four. I bet second is, I don't know. I'd say at least a minute back. There we go, there we go. Great job, looking strong, looking strong. There we go, there we go, there we go. Nice, nice. All right, Rene. Good job, good job, good job, good job. I see, perfect. Looking strong, looking strong. There you go, there you go. Good work. Yeah, Whacker. Nice work, Whacker. Nice and relaxed, nice and relaxed. Pump those arms, pump those arms, looking strong, looking strong. Good work, lying flat. There you go, there you go, there you go. They're right up there, they're right up there. That's a great job. Looking strong, looking strong. There you go, there you go, pump those arms. Good work, good work. Nice, nice, nice. Looking real strong. Great work, great work. Nice. Looking strong, looking strong. Nice work, whoo! Pump those arms, pump those arms. There you go, there you go. Nice work, guys. Nice. All right, Max. Here we go, here we go. Looking strong. All right, that was Matt King and Tim Ferricks passing. Okay, I think the first lady's gotta be here any minute. Wait a minute, who's this guy? Where's your bid number? Great job. All right, great job. Work, looking strong, looking strong. Yeah, great job. Enjoy this little downhill. Tommy's out here. Great job. Great job. Nice work. We're chilling in the trees in the shade. It's hot. It's a hot day. Much warmer than yesterday. Okay, quick update. Killian 209 to the top. 209, 15 to the top. Very fast. But still, eight minutes off of what Matt Carpenter ran, I think, back in the 90s. Eight minutes, so. But great work, Killian. He's crushing. He looked very smooth when he passed me. And then Sage Canada. Six minutes back from Killian. And in third place, who was in third? Sorry, real quick. I'm just looking here. It wasn't David Sinclair, but David Sinclair is in fourth, who I think I raced last year at the Speed Goat 50K. There it is. Mark Lahnstein is nine minutes off of the lead at the top of the mountain. Now, okay, here's something exciting, real exciting. Mod Mathis, who I believe, I don't know where she's from. I'm gonna look it up and put it on the screen right now. She, at mile 10, she was six minutes ahead of course record pace. She looked so strong, so smooth when she passed. So this is exciting. We might be in, we might see a record today fall on the lady's side of the race. So I'm just chilling here at, where am I? I'm about two miles from the bottom, and I'm gonna get them coming down the trail when they are just flying by me, Killian and Sage and everybody else. Oh, now we wait. Now we wait. Oh, exciting times out here. Nice job, Killian. Awesome, awesome, awesome work. Nice work, Killian. Great job, Killian. Crushing it. Go get it. That's all I got, that's all I got. Man, okay. Woo, I sometimes, sometimes I can commit to the downhill. Oh baby, he was moving. I mean, okay, no course record today, but I'll be curious to see what his descent time is compared to Dakota two years ago or three, no, no, last year. So he was, that's all I got. That was fun. Oh man, he was, he was focused. All right, now we gotta wait for second place. I believe Sage will be up next. You got this, Sage, you got this. Good work, good work, good work. Looking strong, looking strong. There you go, you got this. Nice work, Sage. Flying, great job, buddy. Moving, moving, you got this, you got this. Finish strong, finish strong, looking great. I'm just gonna say it, I'm just gonna say it. It's a little harder to keep up with Sage than Killian through this section. Just calling it right now. He was moving and he was breathing hard, but he was moving, Sage. Wow. Okay, now we're gonna wait for Mark Lahnstein. I believe, excuse me, he's in third. Oh, I'm getting tired up here. Great job, he's not far, he's not too far. Great job, crushing it, man, crushing it. Let loose, there you go, Mark. Great job, great job, great job. Oh my goodness, we might have a race for second. Mark was probably 30 to 40 seconds back from Sage as my guess, oh man. Okay, I'm not gonna get the finish, obviously, at least not with this camera. So, okay, I think I'm gonna head down and get the women's finish down closer. So that's exciting, I wish I could watch it, but I'll just have to listen to the cheers down in Manitou Springs. House, the sun is setting rapidly, I got a light on. Hopefully you can see well enough. I'm calling it here, I'm so tired. The race is definitely setting in now and I did not sleep enough last night in order to wake up to film the marathon for all of you today and I'm glad I woke up because it was epic and yes, we're going with Mod. M-A-U-D-E, I still don't actually know where she's from, I haven't looked it up yet, but she's the key, not only the key name, like a 12 minute course record. That's amazing, I got a research, I don't know her story really, that is incredible. So M-A-U-D-E, oh man, I could go with Killian Sage, but like she crushed it, she absolutely crushed it. So anyway, calling it there, question of the day, did you race this weekend, the Pike Speak Ascent or the marathon? How did it go for you? Tell us your epic stories down below. It was really hot today, hopefully you survived or have you raced the Pike Speak Ascent or marathon in the past? Let us know the stories or did you learn about the Pike Speak Ascent slash marathon this weekend because of the vlog and all the coverage I gave for the race? Anyway, I know it's a lot of Pike Speak discussion lately but it was a fun weekend, an epic weekend, just so amazing to watch. The elites, the mid-pack, the back of the pack and frankly even those that gave it a good shot and again, as I said yesterday, maybe didn't make it all the way but there's always next year. Right registration is January 1st so there's always next year, one foot in front of the other. Okay, on the right hand side is yesterday's vlog from the Pike Speak Ascent and on the left hand side we're gonna grab again an old Pike Speak vlog from yesterday year. All right, thanks for being here, thanks for watching, love you guys, seek beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
