“I'd rather blow up trying to win than hold back and finish safely.”

“The failures taught me more than the victories ever did.”

“I think the beauty of the 100-miler is that it's an honest race. You can't fake 100 miles.”

“I discovered that the fastest runners aren't always the ones who win ultramarathons. The ones who win are the ones who can suffer the longest.”

“What I've learned from ultrarunning is that the mind quits long before the body does.”
