Joel Espinoza, finisher of many 100 mile races around SoCal. A fixture on the scene, his soul and demeanor are as gentle as his smile and eyes appear here. I believe he was deported back to Mexico during covid and is still there.
Jenny Weaver, Tahoe 200. Halfway through and the emotions begin to flow as the reality of what you are doing sets in. (and she happens to be a really good friend, so she got super emotional, not to mention, it was my suggestion she do the race even though she had only started running ultras a few years earlier) She kicked ass and finished.
Katie Wright, Big's Backyard. Not exactly a portrait, but her face and overall vibe just sum up the brutality that the backyard format represents as the hours pileup. You keep moving forward, always just aiming for one more lap. Until you can't.
