SISU IRON 2018: 44 Hours Of Suck And Pork Buns
48 hours after this year’s SISU Iron, my feet are still swollen from the 60+ miles of running, climbing, jumping, bushwhacking, ass-dragging that I put it through.

48 hours after this year’s SISU Iron, my feet are still swollen from the 60+ miles of running, climbing, jumping, bushwhacking, ass-dragging that I put it through.
“Sh*t!” Instinctively, I look down at my watch to check for my heart rate. It’s pumping at 164 BPM. This is a bad idea.
The 2012 Napa Ragnar Relay from San Francisco to Calistoga was my first Ragnar. It was physically and mentally taxing between the running, the rain, the missed exchanges, the lost direction, and the very little sleeping.
I love the Ragnar Relay series. 200 miles, a bunch of friends, or strangers, and 30 hours either running or sitting/sleeping in a van.
This is part I in a multi-part series about my journey to the 2015 Peak Races Summer Death Race, an extreme multi-day endurance event that’s designed to push racers beyond their limits and break all but the strongest.
