What a day to be a spectator at the Speedgoat 50k. Kilian Jornet, Anton Krupika, Ricky Gates, Anna Frost, etc. The biggest names in ultra running HERE IN UTAH.

Hiked up to the tram then baldy to watch the runners come by and then ran down to the finish.

Controversial finish and win by Kilian. Much debate over Euro-style racing on an "open" course (ie., cutting course) vs American racing and sticking to the trail.

(Details at Irunfar: http://www.irunfar.com/2012/07/2012-speegoat-50k-results.html).

Kilian, Anna (Frost), Anton...rock stars of the Ultra world.

Thanks for sharing the photos! Sounds like you had a great time spectating!

Andrea: If/when you change up your focus and goals, would love to see what you and Jake could do in the trail running world. You both seem well-suited and comfortable on the trails spending a lot of time in the hills. Typically, not much $ in trail running although Anna Frost walked away with $3,500 bucks.

Jake and I have been talking about doing TransRockies Run NEXT year...that would be the place that I could take on Anna Frost!

Great photos!

Every once in a while I start to think I could do pretty well in the trail scene... But for now my heart is really on the roads / track when it comes to racing

Andrea/Jake: TransRockies would certainly be an adventure and a brutal intro into the ultra world. Max King (2:14 Olympic Trials) has made a successful leap into the ultra scene winning the TransRockies last year and placing 3rd at Speedgoat this past weekend.

And he still has the wheels to compete on the track!

He's an impressive athlete. This latest blog that he wrote is really good - he likes to race a lot, run a lot, and mix things up to keep it interesting.
