Eric Byrnes Tahoe Rim Trail

After retiring from Baseball Byrnes took up ultra endurance. Watching from a far I remember asking myself this is so far from Baseball I wonder why he’s doing this. Everyone spoke about him having to find a release for all that energy. But as I now get to dive in with him once again now on the endurance side he’s just like each and everyone of us. He runs to keep the demons in his head at bay. 

Only a little further and more extreme than most of us. 

When I say little, this guy recently did a triathlon across the country!! Started at San Fran swam to shore then ran and cycled all the way to New York. 

After my first Ultra event the Solo Manly to Bondi Byrnes reached out congratulating me then bringing up the famous words of “we need to do something epic together when you get back to the U.S” When Eric Byrnes says we need to do something epic you know this is going to be next level. Which is just what I wanted as I started my journey into breaking through the limiting beliefs we all have both physically and mentally.

At first it was Everest, then moved to a bunch of other epic adventures we can do together in the future. Then the call came in 

Lake Tahoe Rim Trail.
