Bravo & thank you for writing this narrative, which is so much more thoughtful and interesting than the Instagram captions by other top-10 finishers. You’re a writer as well as a WSER champ! It’s fascinating to read about your struggle because you looked smooth and in control on the final stretch. I’m so happy for you. I’ve been in this sport 20+ years and got my silver buckle in 2016, and it’s great to see good people come up in the scene. I love that you appreciated and paid homage to Kilian before respectfully passing. Well done.
You are a true champion, Caleb! Thank you for sharing the more complicated behind-the-scenes feelings: success can seem super-human, but you are incredibly human and that makes your success even more powerful. Take care to heal and rejuvenate with Morgan, Marshall and all your friends ❤️
Caleb!! Holy smokes congrats you rocked it! I’ve been following your writings and knew you were a great runner but I didn’t know you were going to go out and do THAT. What an inspirational run. Keep writing your journey. You are my kids’ new hero (we watched all day) and a hero of mine as well.
Hey Caleb - I wanted to return to this shout out in light of your recent posts bc I had no idea you were also a new father pulling this off somehow as an ‘underdog’. As a pediatrician, I can say confidently to 99% of parents: “Don’t do what that guy Caleb just did!” And then there’s the 1% of Dads, just like you, and me for that matter, who won’t listen. And sometimes we pay for it.
And I imagine that right now you are suffering in more ways than you imagined, while inside still building, growing, and even celebrating.
If you need any in-the-minute pediatrician advice and can’t reach your doc, just DM me. I have a commitment to calling back winners of States.
Well done Caleb! It was fun following your epic victory. I had no idea that you were in the hurt locker 😆 bc you looked so fresh crossing the finish line!

Congrats on the Dub Caleb! And this writing is so damn good, you had me on the edge of my seat halfway through even though I watched the live stream 😂
