- [Announcer] Wave 3,
Cocodona 250 are you ready? (people cheering)
Oh my goodness, much, much better. Less than one minute to go. Make sure you tap on your shoulder, find that SPOT tracker, and make sure you have that on your pack. 30 seconds. (ominous music) (child cheering) I'll count you down. We're ready, go ahead and
step up to the start line. This is the start of your
adventure across Arizona. Here we go, count it down with me. In 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. - [Racers] 2, 1! - [Announcer] Let's get it going! Cocodona 250 on the way. - [Man] Let's go, Jose. Enjoy yourself out there. - [Man] You look good Iman. - [Man] Nice work, nice work. - [Man] Don't go down, guys. - Good job, everybody! - [Man] This is a marathon. - [Man] Don't forget to smell the roses! (people cheering) (footsteps crunching) - The RD, Steve, put
my spot tracker on me. Was like, “This has to
stay with you the whole time.” All right, so there's the sun peaking out. First sunrise of our
adventure in the Cocodona 250. The inaugural run from Black Canyon City, just north of Phoenix, up to Flagstaff. We're going to head up into the hills and we stop at the really
old mining town of Crown King. After that we head over
the Bradshaw mountains down to Prescott, Arizona,
and then from Prescott we'll go over Mingus Mountain and then through the
old mining town of Jerome then down across the Verde Valley to Sedona and then after
Sedona, we'll climb up onto the Coconino Plateau
and finish in Flagstaff. It's just an epic, epic course. We're going to see all kinds
of terrain and temperatures, lots of desert and cactus
as well as pine trees. So this is going to be a beautiful journey and I can't wait to see
what the experience is like. So this is going to be a good time. - [Man] And that's what
I was telling Bill, if I can inspire one person
to just go after something. - [Man] We're not staying here. (Runners chattering) - I wanna do this faster. (runners chattering) - [Woman] I feel like I could do it. All right. It's got a dumb little small opening. There we go. And I am loaded with water. Probably better to have
too much than not enough, my pack's pretty heavy. But this is gonna be a lot of climbing, so it's gonna be slow. All right, it's about 9:20 A.M. And I'm at mile 16.1. It's not super, super hot yet. But it's certainly warm. And this trail is steep and technical with lots and lots of loose rocks. Terrain is changing a little bit. Much fewer saguaro cactuses. Hello, dude. All right, I'm at mile 20.8 and the sun is warming up. The vegetation is really quite dense now. I've been out here for
eight hours and 53 minutes. I'm just over 30 miles
and the sun is blazing it's just slow going right now. We're really in the pine trees now, which is a nice thing
for making shade for us. Almost to the aid station, I think I just have a couple miles left. I just left the Lane Mountain Aid Station. And I had some things to drink and eat. Now, heading down 3.8 miles
to the Crown King Aid Station. (group chattering)
(group congratulating) Thank you.
- Good job man! - Good job!
- Thank you. Okay, Crown King. Up to mile 11 was fine. I ran a bunch of that. But eventually, there was
just a lot of climbing. And it was really rocky, like the ground was just,
every step you took, the rocks would move out from under you. It was rough. I stopped having fun there for a while. (woman laughs) - [Leah] Bye, honey. Bye, Wes! - Go get' em!
- Good job, babe. - Go get it!
- Woo! - Go get 'em!
- Woo! (Crews clapping) - Good job!
- Thank you. - Keep it up!
- Good job. - Thank you. All right, I've left the
Crown King Aid Station. And I'm heading out to
Battle Flat, 14 miles away. (laughs) One of the things that's
remarkable about this race is the way the scenery changes over time. Think about how we started,
versus where we are now in the middle of this pine
forest, it's really cool. - Nice job.
- Good job, Wes. - [Wes] Wow, that's so pretty. - Is this a part of a video? Award winning?
- It could be. - Could be.
- We'll see. - [Todd Scott] That's the exciting part. - [Wes] All right, sun has gone down. Head and waste lamps are out
and we begin our first night. All right, we're at Battle Flat. I don't know what time
it is, but looks like--. - [Man] Nine o' clock. - Nine o' clock? Okay, they say it's nine o' clock. A great volunteers here and
we're enjoying clementines and ginger ale, ramen. And yeah, after this we've
got about a 4,000 foot climb to the next aid station,
so in the dark, here we go. Okay, I'm at about 62
and three quarters miles on my way to the Kamp Kipa,
I can't remember it's name, something like that, Aid Station. We're almost there, I
think it's at mile 64. The climbing is still happening. Anyway, still moving,
trying to be positive. I'm almost to Aid Station
six, Camp Wamatochick. It's been kind of a long night. This is the first time we've
seen crew since Crown King, so I'm really looking forward to this. It's gonna be good to see everybody. - [Leah] How you doing baby? - Hi there. - Hi, honey.
- I'm doing okay. - Are you warm enough?
- I'm warm enough. As long as I'm moving, I'm warm. The section when we left
Crown King was great. But then the next section,
when we went from Battle Flat to Camp Kia, Kamp Kipa,
something like that, yeah, it was another awful section
with lots of climbing. (sighs) Ugh, the climb, the climbing. But we are done climbing
now until Mingus Mountain. So, that's something worth celebrating. (group chattering)
- Water. - [Mom] I got this thing. - [Leah] Yes, he's gonna put this on. - Okay.
- Okay. All right, you feeling tired? Like sleepy tired? - I don't think I could sleep right now. But I am feeling a bit tired. - [Mom] A bit tired, okay. Go get 'em, honey. You got this. See you just nine miles down the road. You're doing great. - Well you can see the
sun is starting to come up as we now descend from
Camp Wamatochick down to Whiskey Row in Downtown Prescott. This is gonna be the part where we start running through town, so that's gonna be pretty fun. Right now you can see
we're on this dirt road, but shortly we'll be hitting
pavement when we enter town. All right, there's the sun, my second sunrise of the Cocodona 250. What a beautiful morning. These trees here in
Prescott are really nice. Well here we are in Prescott, going through a really
neighborhood right now. This is a fun way to come into town, such a beautiful view of the city. Cross the street. - [Leah] Yay. Hi Wes.
- Yay. - [Mom] Yay! - [Man] We just saw, we'll see if he's still over there, we
can maybe get George to go. Unless Peter can, actually
no, there's Peter right there. Do we see any crews for other runners? - [Man] There's several crews here, but nobody coming in. Who're you crewing for? - I am the runner, thank you. - [Man] Whoa! - [Man] Can you ask him how
he's feeling right about now? - Relax for a minute and eat, change shoes then I'm gonna take a rest. - [Man] It sounds like you're doing good. - I'm actually not doing
terrible right now. Yeah, hopefully today goes all right. - [Man] Good luck. - Thank you very much. - Thank you. All right, well after
some rest and recovery, I'm now taking off out of
Whiskey Row Aid Station and we're gonna run through Prescott. So this should be pretty fun. - [Floris] One step in front of
the other, you've got this. - Just having a good time in the sunshine. - [Floris] (laughs) good. - Oh man, this is cool. One of the highlights of the course, as we head out of Prescott, is we're going through the Granite Dells. So I was really excited to
see this during the day time. But I am going slower than I wish I was. But it's also really hot today, too. So, we're all moving pretty slow today. Woo, here's the dam. But I'll tell ya, I've
talked to a lot of runners who really dig the transiting
through cities idea because it's just a different sort of vibe than most U.S. races. And I like it, too. - This is a neat little oasis
down here, this is cool. All right, so now we're just about done with the Granite Dells area. That was really cool. Now we're on the trail to
the Iron King Aid Station. Which will be our last Aid Station here in the Prescott area. Oh man, Cocodona's a beast,
this heat is no joke. - [Mom] Wow, all sorts
of stuff going on here. Hi, how are ya? - Hi, I'm okay. I'm hot and dehydrated. - We got your Burger, Coke, fries. - Great. - [Mom] Leah's down
getting it all set up. - So, I'm really dehydrated.
- Okay, okay. - I asked your mom, my mom.
- It's your mom. - To make up a hydration thing so I could drink it right now. - [Leah] She told me, yeah. - On our way, I don't
believe that we (indistinct). - The GoPro has a home here. - [Wes] Drink that now. - [Mom] See your nice pack. There they are. See you at Fain Ranch. Go get 'em. - [Leah] Love you! - I just left the Iron King Aid Station. I'm now heading back into
the sunshine, into the heat to go across Fain Ranch, and
that's gonna be a climb up to Mingus Mountain. All right, let's get outta here. All right, we are out of the pasture. Oh, it's hot. We're going through, right? - [Man] I don't know. - I think so. All right, good luck, I'll
see you on the other side. I'm almost to the Fain Ranch Aid Station and on this road, we're
getting a real good glimpse of Mingus Mountain,
telling us hey, I'm next. The climb is likely to
have a tough section, the profile looks like
it gets pretty steep. So, it'll be another major
climb here at Cocodona. (woman chattering) Yes, and I don't think
I really need any--. I just left the Fain Ranch Aid Station. And now I'm heading up, there it is. Up to Mingus Mountain. It's about an eight mile section and I think the total
climb is about 2500 feet. But it starts off kinda
gradual and then it gets steep. So that steep part's not gonna be fun. But we'll get up there, eat some dinner, and get ready to head down to Jerome and start to get down into
the second half of this race. Out of fluid.
- Oh no. - Yeah. - [Floris] We're you outta fluid
for a while there, or no? - [Wes] Yeah, for at least an hour. - [Floris] Damn. - [Wes] Yeah it sucked. - [Leah] Yay! - [Floris] He was coming up
some pretty steep climbs when I came across him.... - [Leah] You're an animal. - [Wes] Is that the
Aid Station down there? That one right?
- Yep. - The one with the fire?
- Yep. - [Man] Doing good, how you doing? What's your bib number? 90? Awesome. Bib 90. Mr. Wes Plate. Wes, how are you feeling now that you are up on Mingus
Mountain after that climb? - It wasn't really that bad, so yeah, I feel pretty good actually. I'm ready to get some dinner and hang out. - [Man] Yeah, so that's
a great segue for me, thank you so much for
that beautiful segue. What's on the dinner menu for you tonight? - Yeah, we actually got
some pizza from town. - [Man] Oh, there we go. We got some pizza from town. - We’re living large up here on top of Mingus Mountain. - Awesome, well we don't wanna keep you, but we really appreciate your time. Keep up the good work. - I'm gonna keep on keeping on. - [Floris] Passed out, eating
pizza in the back of a car. (laughs) That's good. - This is what it's like. This is real endurance life right here. - Just those little merino wool gloves. - Yeah, you've got two
of these vanilla ones. - All right. I need to remember how to run. - You'll figure it out in two seconds. - All right, I'm headed
down from Mingus Mountain into Jerome right now. We're on a really steep, rocky trail. And we're pretty slow going. But, a few runners together,
keeping each other company as we make this descent. - [Scott] Did not see that coming. - [Wes] What a trip (laughs). - Are they coming?
- I think they're a ways behind us. - Oh really?
- Man. - [Man] I feel weird. - Hello little snake.
- That is cool. - [Wes] Whoa, slipped in the mud. Like you'll look at Jerome
and you'll think you're close and then you don’t see it again. - He didn’t talk about the rocks. - [Wes] He failed to mention that. - [Scott] Yeah, seeing Jerome is the least of my concerns right now. All right, we're almost done coming down off Mingus Mountain. And I can see in front of us. You may not be able to see the lights, but we've got the town of
Jerome, there on the hill. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to record video in Jerome. This Mingus Mountain
descent was interesting, it's a bit of a meat
grinder for your feet. So many rocks that you slip on, like that. Excited to get to Jerome. We'll be there in a couple
miles to see our crew again. All right, well we left Jerome. Headed down a crazy, steep hill and then through lots of gravel and rocks and now we're in the cute
little town of Clarkdale. Pretty soon, we're gonna be
crossing the Verde River and then hit Dead Horse Ranch State Park. And on this section,
I've had Leah pacing me and so it's been quite fun to have her here enjoying this experience. The sky is starting to light up. - Yeah.
- As the sun's gonna be coming up soon. Onward, onward, onward. That water's really moving.
- I know. - Ah, that water's cold. All right, well the sun
is starting to come up. This is the third sunrise
of the Cocodona 250. And there up on the
hill, you can see Jerome, where Leah and I started
early this morning and now we're just about to arrive at Dead Horse Ranch State Park
and there's a bunch of deer. Good morning, deer. (laughs) That's awesome, I like that. (runners chattering) - Good job babe.
(Crew laughing) - [Leah] Yes, that's good. Oh, did you like it? - Oh, yummy. - Where'd the water come
from, the Aid Station? - [Mom] Yes. - Sometimes, I don't know where they get the water from sometimes, but sometimes it's just awful. And then I need my poles. Cool, thank you. Okay. All right, I'm just leaving
Dead Horse Ranch State Park. Oh shade, that's nice. Starting to head towards Sedona now. It's gonna be warm. Forecast in Sedona is 85 today. Hello Lizard. Oh wow, this is gorgeous. Take a look at this. It's about 15 miles, I think,
to the Deer Pass Trailhead, so we'll be out for a few hours. (Wes coughs) (gGoro beeping) - [Kerry Ward] I know that noise. - We're going meta with
content providing here. We got Wes Plate in the
background, his channel, is your channel under Wes Plate? - Yeah, it is.
- He does great stuff. Go check his channel out. And subscribe. - I'm sure they all know you, of course. - I know that.
- But this is Kerry Ward, Fulltiltward on YouTube. He's been inspiring
people for years and years with his documenting of ultras. Which are really like watching
a conversation in real time. - Like this.
- Just like this. For real, boom. - Nice to meet you officially, again, Wes. - I'll get that.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, Miles.
- Yeah, Wes. (runners chattering) (Kerry whoops) - [Mom] Highly recommended. - He was tickled pink to make it for you. They know all about you runners. - Can you put that bag back in the pocket? - You need more hydration— - Little bit of sun. (runners chattering) (runners chattering) - Couldn't beat it this time of day. - It really is. - I've run these trails enough
in the afternoon to know how it feels. - Are we running this way?
- Yep. - I'll be watching you go. - Cool thanks a lot, Mark.
- Okay. - Take it easy.
- You too. - This is beautiful!
- Right? - One of my goals for this race was to hit Sedona in the day time because I wanted to enjoy these views and I've been lucky to get it right at the height of the day. And oh my gosh, this place is heaven. Everywhere you look is just gorgeous. We're about three miles from
the Sedona Aid Station now. We're been hiking around the airport. Of course the views don't stink. These are really amazing. It's just in every direction. - Y'all are with them? - We're all, yeah, we're with him. - [Kerry] I had been way-laid by that crowd of bystanders. (group laughing) - Congratulations, guys!
- Toast to y'all, I mean that's unbelievable. - Toast to y'all, and
we're gonna go really do that, all right? We're gonna go toast to y'all. - Please do.
(indistinct) (group chattering)
- Bye. Good luck! - Thank you (laughing). All right, we're in Sedona
now, and we've seen signs that we need to be quiet
and respect the neighbors. But it's pretty exciting to be here, especially still in the daylight. Now we're almost there, I
can actually see the church. It's just right up there. After such a long day, I'm looking forward to some cold drinks. And getting my feet taken care of. But today has felt really good running. It has been such a fun day. - Oh hey!
- Hey, this is it. You were probably wondering
where the place was at. - I'm thirsty. - Woo!
- Is that Jordan? - [Woman] No, that is,
Jordan is already here. She is at her camp, this
is number 90, Wes Plate. - [Man] Wes Plate. In his. - [Woman] He's jogging in very strong with a smile on his face. - [Man] Lookin' good. From Snohomish, Washington. - [Woman] How you feelin'? - I feel great. That was such a fun day. (group laughing) Hey, I was loving every moment going up. - [Man] Love it. - And then, starting to see the glimpses of all this stuff and then, oh God, this ice and the water drop. I was eating ice and in love and the trails after
that were just all flowy and amazing and the sights. I couldn't stop running
I was having so much fun. So many lenses to look at. - Yeah, there's all the people. This one is the live feed. - No, I know, I need to
really speak to my people. - [Woman] Your people are waiting. (group laughing) - Guys, I think Wes Plate might win for energy coming up this hill, so. - He's looking great.
- Enjoy your Aid Station. - I'm going to, I'm gonna have a blast. - Hey, we’re even in the shade. - In the shade?
- Yeah, man. (group chattering)
- His crew got some shade. There you go. - [Man] What wonderful energy. - [Woman] 100% my new most
enthusiastic, energetic runner to come up that hill, so. - There was a guy giving out popsicles. - Oh nice.
- That's perfect. - [Floris] He was like, Your hero at that point,
I saw the biggest smile. That's why you were probably laughing when you came through here. - Floris shows up to take pictures of me. So I'm like, running, like for real on these single track trails and then even after you
left, I was still doing that, because it was still just so much fun. Yeah, I just felt really good today. It was kind of a strange feeling to feel so good on day three. - And we were like, oh wait, Wes, bro? - I was so excited to get here. - I know, we were too,
we were so excited too. All good, I'm just playing. (laid back bass music) (upbeat bass music) - Nice! (ominous stringed music) (group clapping)
- That was amazing. - Thank you so much.
- That was a great day. - [Leah] But good smile. - Thanks for being a part
of this whole adventure. - [Woman] Thanks for
making it fun to be here. - I gotta make it fun
for me to be here, too. - Exactly.
(group laughing) - All right, 90 out.
- Sounds great, awesome, you are good to go, you
can go back out that way. - All right.
- Bye Wes. - You're welcome, have a good time. - Thank you very much. - All right, well I'm
heading out of Sedona and my breath is feeling not there, sometimes I'm having a hard
time getting my breath. Now we're heading out of Sedona
to the next Aid Stations. And then we'll start to climb
up onto the Coconino Plateau up to Flagstaff. So we have a lot of work to do today. Whoa, it's a rare sighting of Kerry Ward and Wes Plate
sleeping in the outback. 45 minutes in three days. - Well, I'm out here in the
middle of the night walking with Miles and Kerry. I'm trying to find the
words to admit to myself how shitty I feel. Yeah, I'm having a low spot. - Let me address that while you're talking about that and you can respond? - No, sure Kerry. - This moment, this
quote unquote low point is what you paid your money for. The moment is what got you to this place. The only way you can get to this place is by doing something ridiculously
difficult, challenging, and so on. Embrace it fully, experience
it, and then move past it. There. Preaching over. - Normally, when I'm feeling low, I don't bring the camera out, because I don't know what to
say, but thank you, Kerry. So, we'll get to Huntley Tank
and I'll get some calories and then we'll continue on. - [Woman] I don't know,
can you see yourself? Is that good? - [Wes] Yeah. - [Woman] Oh, cool, exactly. - Dougie, I swear I know you
other than Kamp Kipa, because when you said
your name was Dougie, I knew that. Now, it could be I'm just hallucinating. - [Dougoie] Kamp Kipa feels
like a long time ago. - [Dad] Good job. - Well done.
- We finally made it to the Black Tank Aid Station. And it's just been a rough slog. I've only had 54 minutes
of sleep until now, I'm gonna now sleep for a couple hours. - All right, well dude,
crush it up that hill. - All right, I'm gonna
go climb a mountain. - [Wes] Yeah, you're gonna do great. - Good luck, man.
- We'll see ya. - Just having problems breathing. I can sometimes hock up a loogie and even then, sometimes
it's just not enough. - Do you want a coke? Ginger ale? - I would like a ginger ale. - Do you want ice?
- Yes. - Good morning, Pam. - Here's this.
- Oh, thank you. - Got your land legs.
- I'm getting 'em. (group chattering) - All right, walking
in together, you ready? - All right, shall we wonder? - All right, heading over to the ridge. - Thanks, everybody. Love you.
- Love you, too. - See you at Cinder Pit - [Mom] They’re all going. - All right, so hopefully I'm alive. Kerry Ward and Pam Reed and
I are gonna make the climb up to Turkey Butte. I slept almost two hours this morning, and I feel so much better, even my feet. - Why did Mike, do you know why? - Yeah.
- 'Cause it's rocky, you like that? I hate that stuff, where you can't. (group chattering) - Kerry Ward and I are
climbing up the hill. And the sun is already pretty warm. Man, this will be a long climb, there's a lot of switchbacks. - [Kerry] Taking in the view. - Trying to keep an eye on my heart rate, so I don't over do. Trying to take long, deep breaths. But there's a breeze up here,
which is really helping a lot. I like the sound of that breeze. Oh Lord, that feels good. That was what we needed,
we've been on this march, in the sun, exposed, the trees haven't been able
to provide much protection, but we also haven't had much water. This felt good, getting my hat wet and having the breeze on me. Wetting the back of my
knees, oh it's so good. Thank you cow water, this is the best. All right, we're close to the Aid Station, probably less than half a mile now. Oh man, little refreshment,
it's gonna be wonderful. All right, I just left the
Turkey Butte Aid Station. I'm limping, because I
developed a really good blister on the bottom of my foot
and I just popped it open, taped it over, hoping that the pain will subside in a moment and I'll be able to walk a bit better. I'm now all full of hydration
and I ate a bunch of food. I got ice in my banana, so
nothing can stop me now. I feel a little bit better now, I actually found that it
makes me easy running, it felt better than walking. So, we'll see what happens. We got all-day tickets
to the struggle bus. - My right foot is Blister Town. That hurts, so, I'm pretty stoked that I get to do 50 more
miles of that (laughs). (woman laughs) - Can we do a, we have
some tape, Leuko tape? We've been using that
for a lot of the runners. - So I made it to the
Cinder Pit Aid Station and got my feet all done up by the medics who have been so great. Because it's so hot, I'm
just gonna chill out here for a while. This is a great place to just
take a look at all the crew in the forest and it's in the shade. It's like, this is what it's all about is the family that gets created out of all these different runner groups and families and friends. - Even crewing takes practice. - For sure, it really does. - So I'm taking a little rest. Certainly if I take a siesta right now, I'll just feel better in general, anyway. - [Leah] Sounds good. - This temperature's
starting to feel good. - [Leah] Yeah. - Oh man. (group chattering) - Good luck, Wes.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
- Thank you, volunteers, appreciate you.
- Bye hun. (Child making noises) - Getting up the mountain and then back down in
the morning, or whatever. Well, as you can see behind me, the sun's getting low,
so we'll be switching into night mode pretty soon, but Kerry and I are currently on
single track heading on our way to Fort Tuthill. It's been an exhausting
few days, that's for sure. But we're on the trailing end. Just a couple more aid stations
to go, before we finish in Heritage Square tomorrow. Okay now we just got to Fort Tuthill, my stomach's kinda turned, plus my foot, where my blisters are,
hurts really, really bad, so I’ll talk with the crew, I came up with a plan. - Is it in there?
- Yeah. - Down there.
- Hi. - Hi, honey.
- Kerry and I agreed that tonight was going to be a real slog and I have blisters all
over my feet, like crazy. And in the last hour or so, I've started to feel rather nauseous. Turns out that his crew
already had a hotel. My crew already had a
hotel, so works out great, we'll be able to go get a rest and eat. So, that's the plan. We should go quick so that
we can take advantage of it. And I'll probably get about, hopefully about three hours of sleep. I'm tired. All right, so Kerry and
I are back on the trail, we got our sleep. And we are on our way to Walnut Canyon. (runners chattering) - (indistinct) have the
cleaning, shower (indistinct). - Kerry and I have about
three and a half miles until we get to the
Walnut Canyon Aid Station and then all we have is two segments left before we get to the finish line. I have this feeling in the back of my mind that we're almost there. I'm like a horse trying to get back to the barn but I need to remember that it's still a little
ways left to the barn. - We got a marathon.
- We got a marathon left, Kerry says, just one more marathon to go and then this race will be over. - [Floris] Well done Wes. Guys, you're 0.4 miles out from camp. (group chattering)
(group applauds) (man laughs) Nice job, Jodi! - Nice job, what number are you? - 14.
- 14. - Thank you very much. There's some distance still we have to do, we can't just sprint from here. (runners chattering) - See you guys are the finish. - Piece of bacon for the road? - Oh, that's a good offer. - That is a good offer, isn't it? We are on Godforsaken Road. - All right, this is it, man.
- I think so. - [Kerry] Sir Wes Plate, reaching
the apex of the saddle. Good job, my friend. - Good job to you. - [Kerry] Look at this man, he's worked hard to get up here. - I need some kind of
yummy sugary drink. All right, Kerry and I have
left the last aid station and we're about to start the descent. We're heading across the
top of the ridge right now. All right, we'll see how my foot does. The blisters are really hurting. We're almost down, we're
in Buffalo Park right now. Jim Walmsey just ran past. That was pretty fun. And, so we were just up
there, on Mount Elden. And now we're doing the final
little bits in Flagstaff. I'll be at the finish line soon. - [Kerry] You're a man,
Wes Plate, looking strong, 254 miles in, running probably
like 9 pace right now. Woo. What a day. - [Floris] You guys are my hero. You got 0.6, 0.7 miles left to go. - [Kerry] See Wes pacing like a caged lion - Let's go! I can't believe that
after all this it’s over, this is an amazing journey. I've been able to deal with this guy, was really an amazing experience. I feel so lucky. - Likewise, bud. - [Floris] I'll see you
