Nike Victory Relay 2.0
What a day at the LA Coliseum! Thank you @nikela for making it real for the LA running community!
So proud of my teammates from @goodvibes_tc ! They showed up with grit, gave it everything, and brought home the medals!
Huge thanks to @jjeffersoniv@chrisfocus@wavyymarv for helping with media credentials on such short notice. Love yโall โ what a day!
What a few days at HOKA Kodiak Ultra Marathons by UTMB! Big Bear had it all: lake views, golden leaves, pine forests, rocky climbs, desert sections, and those morning miles above a sea of clouds. Such a special weekend in the mountains, hope everyone had as much fun out there as we did! โจ
Arda ๐ฆพ
Across the desert.
Over the mountains.
Through the city.
Beyond the pain.
Against the heat.
Into the night.
606 km (377 miles)
123 hours.
Arda ran from Death Valley Basin to the Santa Monica Pier
Badwater Basin to Santa Monica Pier. Over 600 km and 123 hours of something far beyond anything I expected.
I was one of the follow-cam operators, filming Arda @ardasaatci along this insane journey and working hard with the team @redbullgermany@brokendoveproductions and @frankiebird.inc to provide the best picture we could.
What Iโll remember most is Arda, not only as an incredible athlete, but as a great human, and the crew around him. The tears, the laughs we shared, and the amount of love everyone poured into this project.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
And wow, we went far!
How do you say no to Boston? ๐ฆ Had a blast seeing so many friends in one place, even getting to run a few miles together. Congrats to everyone who raced on Monday. Huge thanks to Anya (@annjoyrun ) for convincing me to run, to everyone who came out to cheer and yell my name on the course, and to everyone who captured moments along the way. ๐ธ Photos by @banditrunning , @chrismera and @noahklabin
