This weekend, Geoff Roes won the 2010 Western States 100 with a time of 15:07:04. In the process, he crushed Scott Jurek’s course record by nearly half an hour. To win, he bested Anton Krupicka and Kilian Jornet.

While we wouldn’t stand a chance of catching this Alaskan on the trails, we had the pleasure of catching up with him for 20 minutes (!?) the day after his victory. In these videos, he shares a detailed play-by-play of the race as well as discussing his upcoming races, the Crow Pass Marathon and Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.
