He shared so many amazing stories of his very long career in ultra running (he started in 1979!). If you don't have time to listen to the whole thing, I highly recommend you at least listen until his story of when he just barely beat Ann Trason in a 50 mile race.

Register for the Cannonball Run!! https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=118221On this episode, we have Pat Hasler from Cincinnati, Ohio. He recently won The Raven 24 Hour in Mt. Pleasant. His distance of 151.489 miles was enough to earn him a spot on Team USA's 24 Hour team at the World Championships in October ... for now. The qualifying window ends May 26, so if another American man runs more than 151.489, he won't be on the team anymore except as an alternate. We are hoping he won't get knocked off! This conversation was a great dive into Pat's history as a runner, his longtime dream of making the U.S. 24 hour team and what makes him so great at what he does.
