Tyler Clemens – Burning River 100
Tyler and Chris Clemens both completed their first 100 mile races in the 2014 Burning River 100. This is Tyler’s story from the adventure. The anticipation was torture. The past 2 days had been full of anxiety and excitement. There were many phone calls to my crew/pacers, messages to my […]
Read MoreCrewing Through Hell
“What are you doing in July?” That’s how it all started. A simple question, a few quick words that lead to crewing the Badwater 146, sweat evaporating out my pores in 129 degree heat, driving 3 days through the desert with no air conditioning, and cuddling with three other guys […]

Read MoreGrand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim
It started with a mug of Pale Ale at Figueroa Mountain Brewing, as most good ideas do. We were sweaty, smelly, and dusty from the Rancho San Juan preview run. Sean Garbutt, Greg Lowe, myself, and Luis and Beverly Escobar were enjoying the cold beer when I mentioned “I’m thinking […]

The alarm rang at 4:00 AM. I had only been asleep for 3 hours, but it was time to go. I stumbled around Tyler’s apartment grabbing anything I thought I’d need…my running pack, some granola bars, a beer koozie, and toilet paper. Check. By 4:30 we were out the door, […]
