 Welcome to the 2019 western states 100. This is the rough cut. All right I got to go to bed tonight so I will get you a more cinematic edit tomorrow. Roll the tape. Seventeen minutes. All right we're getting closer everyone. Thanks for tuning in to the western states 100 coverage. Never been here before. Figured it out as we go but so far so good. Check in. Elites are checking in. There's David Laney on your screen. Watch out for him. He could have a good day today. So all right I'm gonna go get my position here in about five minutes. I'm gonna be on the far side of the starting line just to make sure with the 200 most likely it's a little too dark for the 400 meter lens just to give you a little behind the scenes insight as far as how I will be filming this. All the runners are congregating and yes the sun is slowly rising. Look at that. And just like that everyone is gone off to Robinson Flat. The next the first big big aid station that you can go watch at. It's I think it's about a two hour two and a half hour drive around to get there I think. So anyway we got a piece out go see if we can catch the leaders. That was the most epic start. I hopefully I got it for you all. The crowd control was just insane like I've never seen a start like that in my life. A lot of great energy and here's a little aerial footage but it was a little too dark to get I had to bump the ISO too high. So anyway a little aerial footage for you up on the mountain as the leaders were climbing up the hill there. All right come on no time. Time is a waste. You have it the Robinson Flat aid station is in the books. Now we're off to Forest Hill. I think we got it. I think we got some good stuff. I hope you enjoy that all right. Let's rock and roll down the hill. Oh it's finally it's okay it's a cool year just so you know the temps are nice but it is warming up so t-shirt time I'm guessing right now it's in the 50s but it's supposed to get up to definitely the 70s as we drop down in elevation. Let's go real quick forgot to mention Jared was about 14 minutes back from Jim by the way we're now at Forest Hill and Jared looked a little more peppy in his step. If you know what I mean like he just looked a little more nimble a little more fresh. Jim was obviously flying but anyway that's what literally what like running as he was running by he just looked a little faster at that moment at Michigan Bluffs so now we're just waiting waiting away. Wrapping the day it's like 11.30 we started filming at 5 a.m. oh man there's a crew coming two runners racing all right hold on pause pause pause they're racing well that's a good way to end the vlog all right keyword why not epic all right keyword epic question of the day what was your favorite shot that I captured today like was it the start was it something in the middle Robinson flat what we got a lot I probably used 15 to 20% of all the footage so we got plenty more coming for you I hope you enjoyed it let me know your favorite shot down below in the comments I would appreciate it see beauty work hard love each other see you tomorrow
