Adam Briggs: not always feels good to start a run but always happy at the end. Seems a cheerful guy, with a merry santa type-laughter. he goes the uphills and the downhills, the sunny days and the muddy days. Born very ill, a blue baby, with no oxygen, serious heart conditions. Culminated in a heart transplant in 1992. Underwent 65/66 surgeries.
I don't want to sit at home and be a dull bum. Have this amazing gift and do nothing with it. And it's like the life he never had. So I can't just sit and waste it. And running for me is the way to do that. A person that runs a mile may be stronger than a person that runs ten. Yes. There has to be a little bit of fear because that helps. But not let it control your life. For me it is quite spiritual, being out in the field, without my friends, it is quite empowering. It is just you and the mountain. [...] It's that solitude that's all you need as well. I'll never be the best, I'll never be the quickest. Just a martyr. I'll probably be the most stupid. [laughters] And I don't go out to prove a point to anyone. I just go out because I love running.

Speaks off camera with amazing views.
Little interaction.
Perhaps that's the point of the title:
Several day events are different to the non-stop ultras, which have cutting hours (horarios de corte). Multi days is a whole other thing: camping, no shower, etc.
Atención más en comida que en cuerpo!
Sin cabeza con el mejor cuerpo no se hacen estas carreras.
No terminó la de Australia porque se perdió.
No una meta. Pero tener una ilusión. El premio es llegar a la línea de largada.

¿Cómo hacer ultra? De a poco. Entrenar cada paso. Sin saltear pasos.
Bob Hayes. 89. Running from 1986.
In February of 2014, a remotely triggered camera in Utah’s rugged Uinta mountains captured a picture of something no one thought possible in the area: a wolverine. This elusive creature hadn’t been spotted here for nearly 40 years. This one photograph set in motion a massive undertaking to find if these badasses of the animal kingdom were setting up shop here for good. Under the guidance of Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, ultrarunners took to the mountains setting up and checking camera traps around the ecosystem in search of more photographic evidence. The result? A comprehensive survey of wildlife in the range and a model for citizen science projects everywhere.

Reclutaron corredores de ultra para un proyecto científico en relación con mundo salvaje animal. No hacen nada tan sofisticado, pero ¿quién más lo haría sino y con qué medios? Cambian baterías, ven fotos recopiladas y cambian las memorias también.
Tengo una vida egoísta. Esto es contribuir a la conservación.

I'd like to run 'til the day I die
Otro trío de travesía.
Nota mental: ¿No sería bueno un documental sobre la vida misma de corredor? Nada, o no tanto solamente, de correr ni entrenamiento: el día a día en el resto de las horas y con otras actividades.
