There has been a lot going on in the sporting world as of late. Olympic trials in gymnastics, swimming, and track and field. Playoffs in hockey and basketball. The US Open in golf, the Tour de France and now the Western States 100 ultra running race. As we look at the performances in each of these sporting events it is just amazing the level that each of the athletes are getting to. Their level is elevating year after year and it seems like this year has a very special level of performance connected to it. It might be a result of pandemic training or that inspiration is becoming more and more part of how each individual thinks about what is possible. And while it is impossible to just have one most amazing result to discuss we will give focus to Jim Walmsley, who today won his third Western States 100. 100 miles is always a hard distance to run but in 90+ degrees and to get a fast time on a day like this one it is just remarkable. Here’s to amazing performance across all sports and to each and everyone for the effort that they put in and the results that they have posted – way to go!

Loving life when I see amazing performances
