OK, so we couldn’t go a day without mentioning the little guy, so here are some more thoughts from Kilian on this year’s Western States race – don’t worry, only a few more days and we’ll be done 🙂 (Thanks to @ChrisBurglar for the heads up on this one)

Interesting to read his thoughts on the differences between European and US runners, and that US runners seem more relaxed on the trail. Whereas I assume the Europeans are a little more uptight and quiet. Maybe this is due to the competition and the way it is structured in the two different continents. You get the feeling that in Europe, more maybe at stake in terms of winning, prize money and competition.

Regardless, it’s always good to get some perspective from the top guys. Only 3 more sleeps until race day. Andrew checked in this morning and all is good from his end. It’s feet up time now, lots of relaxing ahead of the big dance.

I'm a mediocre runner who can bat above his average when I train hard. A man of extremes, I do enjoy everything life offers and consider it an absolute pleasure just to be able to put one foot in front of the other and let my mind wander somewhere different.
