This year the Daytona 100 was under the leadership of the legend, Bob Becker. This is a course that takes you all the way from Jacksonville Beach to Daytona Beach! On the chat, we've got Ty Aronson, Marty Gardner, and Rachel Alexander! They absolutely crushed it with a 100-mile distance redemption, PR on PR on PR's across the board, AND smashing an A-Goal for the race! 
Ty Aronson, who was previously on the podcast with the Stories from the Pine Creek Challenge, got that belt buckle and completed the 100-mile course for some sweet redemption. His race was truly one-of-a-kind having guided fellow runner Aaron Hale. Aaron lost his vision in Afghanistan when he was an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E.O.D) Team Leader, however, going against all odds... Aaron never accepts defeat. So, Ty and Aaron together crushed the miles to get across that 100-mile course! The stories are honestly some of the most humbling I've ever heard. 
Marty Gardner not only got that belt buckle, but he was smashing new distances! He also has a podcast called the Miles with Marty Podcast! I listen to it, I dig it, check it out! He crossed that finish line with a time of 28:25:08. This was his FIRST 100 mile finish!!! He's also done races like the Carolina Reaper 50k, Huff'n'Puff Half-Marathon, River to Sea 6 HR, the Jack's 24k, and the Sandridge 7 HR! He's also signed up for the Miami 50/50, the Skunk Ape's Revenge 60k, and the Badwater Cape Fear 51.4 Miler! 
Rachel Alexander crushed her A-Goal for the Daytona 100 getting to that finish line with a time of 23:54:43! This was an amazing race as she's previously ran a time of 27:38:11 at the Brazos Bend 100 miler out in Texas! She's also done races like the Pinellas Trail Challenge, SWAMP 50k, the Palm Bluff 50k, and the Monroe Cross Trail 50 Miler!
