The 10th Annual Rut wrapped up over a week ago and I’m just getting my feet under me after an amazing, exhausting, and life affirming weekend. My biggest take away from this year is that (contrary to popular narratives) people find joy in the success of others and love helping them achieve their goals. It brought me so much joy to watch family, friends, and volunteers pour all their effort into getting our Rut runners to the finish line for three straight days. It’s truly something special to witness. Also, here is an amazing shot by the talented @steven_gnam from the summit climb during the 28k, because all my photos from @runtherut week are of moving large Tupperware and filling water jugs.
