Colonel Phil Lowry (Montana Army National Guard) – Director and Counsel for Cybersecurity & Privacy at Western Union – has raced 20 officially sanctioned 200-mile-plus ultramarathons, along with nearly a hundred 100-mile trail races. He’s the only person in history to finish all three races in the Destination Trail annual “Triple Crown” series of 200-mile ultras – the Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240 – four separate times. One of the best-known 200-milers on earth, Colonel Lowry and wife Dr. Jill – a renowned colorectal surgeon and veteran trail-racer extraordinaire – and the six Lowry children combine outdoor adventure with professional and personal excellence. Careening toward his 60th birthday this August, The Colonel of Ultramarathoning opines on the evolution of ultra as a sport and a lifestyle – from the good old days of Fat Ass informality to the phenomena of Cocodona 250 live-streaming – and explains exactly what to do when a rattlesnake bites one of your ankles.
