Description
So I play tennis with a friend of mine and he beats me 6:1 and 6:2. Fine. Two days later he starts the world's longest certified foot race, averaging over 70 miles per day (that's almost 3 marathons every single day) for about 50 consecutive days.
Asprihanal Aalto is one of this year's 10 runners who take on the challenge to complete the unbelievable 3,100 Mile Self-Transcendence Race in New York, and also last year's winner. When I stop by at the race to join some of the runners for a lap - on my bike mind you (easier for me to keep up, than trying to run along!) we usually share jokes or talk about anything inspiring, given that somehow the runners usually are in a better mood and have more enthusiasm than when I show up after what I consider a long day...
Anyways, today they were featured on the local news on NY1, New York Observer and the Huffington Post homepage, so I thought I could post this happy little track in their honor - the photo is from the actual race track - and the choice of samples reminds me of the more unusual challenges they face every day: happy kids on swerving bikes, broken glass, heat waves, thunderstorms etc.
And if they can face all that with a smile on their face I guess I can at least post my fun music session and talk about something you may not hear about every day.

This is damn good. In every possible way. After the 1:10-part I had to hit the download button. Very evocative. Game, set and match!
