When It Gets Hard, Try To Smile

...words of wisdom from Redbull and The North Face athlete Dylan Bowman.  

I have been a runner since age 5 and have even put the time in to train and run a few Marathons and Triathalons but what Dylan Bowman does is outside of my pain imagination.  Two weeks after we created these images in the Marin Headlands outside of SF Dylan flew off to win the ISTRA 100 in Croatia - a 100 mile mountainous trail race of 18+ hours.  He is a truly impressive athlete and is always ready with a smile.  Here is a look at his favorite training grounds.
