CAPTAIN-T LAKE SONOMA 100K / CALIFORNIA FALL CLASSIC 100K

As the year nears its end, opportunities to secure a spot in the Western States Endurance Run (WSER) lottery diminish. This adds significance to the Lake Sonoma 100K and California Fall Classic 100K events as ideal occasions to earn a coveted entry. For Captain-T, this race marked his fourth 100K effort, following three previous successful finishes.

On race day, participants were greeted with scorching temperatures at Lake Sonoma, an environment that posed a considerable challenge. Despite being a skilled ultra runner, Captain-T faced the relentless heat, which is a known disadvantage for him. Throughout the race, he encountered moments of doubt and struggle, nearly succumbing to the harsh conditions on two separate occasions.

However, giving up was not an option for him that day. With determination and perseverance, Captain-T pushed through the discomfort and fatigue, ultimately completing the race in a time of 17:16:34. This finish not only added another achievement to his record but also served as a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity on the trails.
