Show Notes
Ihor Verys, first place finisher of the 2024 Barkley Marathons, joins Doc in the Hiker Trash Radio studio to talk about his incredible experience and finish in the world's toughest ultra. Settle in and buckle up as Ihor shares how this kid who once didn't like running and who was not particularly athletic ended up touching the yellow gate first after five full loops of torture. Along the way, Ihor discusses his research and strategy, the terror of opening his condolence letter, those pre-race activities, finding his first book, the incredible fifth loop ("when the Barkley really starts"), and the epic, electrifying, amazing finish of Jasmin Paris. Barkley vets and newbs will learn something in this unforgettable episode.
