I first met Scott Owenby immediately after he sprinted past me at about a 6-minute pace to finish his first sub 24 - 100 miler at The Bronze Dragonfly in Savannah, Ga. He looked like he could have gone sub 20 at that point, and he probably will one day. Scott is a competitive guy that is fairly new on the 100 mile scene. So, we will see where he takes it. He's got an awesome story and does a great job telling it. Enjoy!

I met Bob Watters at the 2nd crew meetup aid station at Cruel Jewel this year and then again saw him at the turnaround point. He was crewing and pacing his son and I was crewing my friend Jamie. I noticed him wearing that awesome Southern States 200 buckle and introduced myself. I wanted to record a recap for the podcast and then fate would have it that my friend Amber peer-pressured me into running it this year. So, selfishly I was looking for tips. Bob is an accomplished ultra-runner having finished Pinhoti 9 times and other challenging races such as Blood Rock 100 and No Business. He was also the state champ in cowboy style shooting a few years ago, hench the nickname "cowboy" which came from me, not him. I think you will enjoy getting to know Bob and the Alabama races a little better and I bet you'll be wanting to check some of them out. Links below. Enjoy!

Philip Nameich is another Florida ultra-running friend of mine. We have run and crewed several of the same races, had the same coach for a period of time and share a passion for running ultras and the community. He's coming off a finish at Tahoe 200 and his first 200 miler as well as a great finish to 2023 with a sub-24-hour finish at Daytona 100. He's also a Race Director in South Florida for the El Gato Rebelde 6 and 12 hour ultra. It's held Spring and Fall. He's also a heckuva nice guy. Hope you enjoy!
