A Midwesterner Attempted R2R2R.alt Twice (!) this November - Josh Sanders - #63

Josh has run in 13 different countries in a single day, and run a 5k in all 50 states in 6 days! Like the Jared Campbell Episode 61, Josh is a spreadsheet maestro. "The elite talent I lack can be made up for in logistical planning." Josh lives in Michigan and sets FKTs in the western mountains - Midwesterners take note - you can do this! "R2R2R.alt has the same elevation profile as the over-crowded R2R2R, but besides being much more remote and thin, requires you swim the Colorado River. If you mess up, you'll really mess up" "Yeah, you'll drown." Josh tried it twice in November! With an incredible story each time, you really should listen to this. "We sang along to a Ziggy Marly tribute video, ate frozen bananas and drank whiskey until 5am."
