Special Guest Hector Rodriguez is a challenge seeker and ultramarathon runner that resides in San Diego, CA.
Hector’s ultrarunning journey started in late 2018 after seeing people close to him start to have cracks in their mental mindsets. He began to see people in his circle use alcohol and other substances to help them deal with their depression, anxiety, and anger. He knew he had to be the one to lead by example so he grabbed David Goggin’s Can’t Hurt Me book and set off on a journey to become mentally tougher and a rock for his family and community.
He learned that for him to give his best, he had to become his best, and that required effort, sweat, and daily trips into what he calls the “pain cave”. As he began having success in his ability to out endure others, he set on the path looking for the hardest challenge he could find and he found the Moab 240 mile endurance race. He purposely wanted to compete in this event to have his mind and body tested to it's limits to see how he would respond. He wanted to know how long and far he could go despite the pain, challenges, struggles, or discomfort he encountered. He wanted to see if he could withstand something that 99% of people on this planet cannot endure and he did.
Hector is supported by his family and Wolfpack teammates as he continues on his journey to lead by example and be one of the mentally toughest people in his family and community.
