Cameron Hanes - Keep Hammering Collective KHC 015 - Courtney Dauwalter
101-Yard Balloon After One Day
- Courtney learned archery quickly via repetition and coaching, hitting a 101-yard balloon after a day of practice.
- The result combined skill, repetition, good setup, and some luck.
Fame Is Rare Motivation
- Ultrarunning attracts people who love the challenge more than fanfare.
- If you only want recognition, the sport's grind quickly weeds you out.
Race With Full Commitment
- If you race, give everything on the day and avoid cruising through hard stretches.
- Then review performance afterward to identify clear areas to improve for next time.
Courtney Dauwalter, is considered the world’s best female ultramarathon runner. She might just be the greatest ultrarunner of all time, period. To me, in some ways I see her infectious smile and cheerful personality as a smokescreen, because Courtney’s unrelenting drive to push the limits of human endurance potential in the mountains, belies these fun, welcoming characteristics. Behind the smile and the kindness on a personal level, beats the heart of an absolute and fierce competitor. If Courtney comes off as a lamb, I pity the wolf that hunts her.
