Now, Caleb, what made you choose coming up to Burning River for the 50-mile race?

Caleb BowenGUEST
I was really struggling with finding races, you know, that I wanted to do that also worked with my schedule.

Caleb BowenGUEST
Track season where being a collegiate coach is really tough because we're currently traveling every week in the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Caleb BowenGUEST
So, you know, I signed up for Highland Sky 40 mile, just because that's, that's one of my favorites.

But with that said, after you were done with your own college running, how did you transition into your post collegiate running? Did you start out on roads and then transition into trail or did you just always love the trail from the get go?

Caleb BowenGUEST
Like I knew that's where like my, my best running would be was in the marathon.

Caleb BowenGUEST
So it just was a natural progression and everybody, you know, watches the Boston marathon videos.

Caleb BowenGUEST
And I was my biggest role model in high school was Ryan Hall, you know, back in his heyday.
