#27: C Sawyer

Like many others C Sawyer took on the challenge of Aravaipa Running's Cocodona 250. He ran 60 of those completely barefoot and the rest in those very minimal Luna Sandals. It was at roughly 167 miles with over 20,000 feet of elevation gain, Sawyer knew he had already far exceeded his training and was asking more of his body than it was able to continue giving, so at roughly 8:30pm after hallucinating badly and having only a couple hours before a cutoff time at the next aid station, he pulled the plug. However, it wasn't "just a DNF," it was so much more. With 167 miles completed, that is no joke! 
C Sawyer learned so much along this journey, not just about racing an extreme ultramarathon distace, but also about himself. We spend 20 or so minutes talking barefoot running, how it works, and connecting to the earth before jumping right into the Cocodona 250! Enjoy!
