My 10th attempt a the arrowhead 135 race

This was my 10th Anniversary at Arrowhead 135. And I had high hopes that I would finish the race. I made it to the 1st  check point. And was able to go back out on the trail.  We made a short Documentary on my 10th attempt titled “It’s Not The Critic Who Counts”
