My First Ultra is a regular series with everyday runners sharing their account of their very first attempt at an Ultra, whether successful or not.  As inspiring

as the elites are, the everyday runners really get us inspired here at Becoming Ultra!

Name: Sean Wetstine

Occupation: Wells Fargo

First Ultra: Greenland 50k

Sean had experience running marathons but when he took his first leap into ultra’s, he did it with a significant other!  His “why” for the sport is powerful and most people will be able to relate as the great metaphor for life, running, makes sense once again.  He shares some great trails on the Western Slope of Colorado as well as some of his training concepts that helped him succeed.  Enjoy the account of his first ultra!
