There are no stories, pictures, list of names, or statements of thanks. Instead, we inundated with the self-recognition of a megalomaniacal narcissist. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, as Goggins is working for a selfless cause, a point his apologists (which their existence is revealing) are quick to note, he is deserving of the benefit of our doubt. <BR/><BR/>So, if I were to accept this story of a Christ like warrior hero who finds his purpose in life during a battle induced epiphany archetype, there are still many problems with his delivery such as:<BR/><BR/>Selling the point that _I am nobody special_ and then listing the reasons why he is special is a contradiction. <BR/><BR/>Promoting hatred of human activities that many people love is offensive and unnecessary.<BR/><BR/>Ridiculing grassroots fundraisers that children across the nation organize is offensive and unnecessary.<BR/><BR/>Volunteering for war because it’s something hard to do is not admirable.<BR/><BR/>But then, focusing on Goggins isn’t the point. I strongly disagree that this post is about him (as much as he appears willing to leverage his beneficiaries suffering for fame). And I strongly disagree with some of the contributors of this post that it’s a competition between Goggins and Dunlap. Goggins is a distraction. The real story, the real issue, is that men and women go to war, and regardless of the politics, sacrifice their lives. In return, our government, with us as silent witnesses, abandons them and their families. Whether it’s denying Purple Heart benefits to soldiers with PTSD or failing to provide enough support period, our government is failing our vets who then become dependent on private donations to help mitigate their losses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-87553447145730901922008-12-25T11:03:00.000-08:002008-12-25T11:03:00.000-08:00I just finished reading this post and all the comm...I just finished reading this post and all the comments. I score this one Dunlap 4, Goggins 8. The crowd is pulling for Dunlop, but Goggins’ military fans are loud! When I was a kid I was always a little reluctant to get into a fight. There was the prospect of getting my butt kicked. Sometimes it was just unavoidable, because I had to defend my honor. And sometimes I had to bow my head, admit defeat and move on. I don’t think this was a good fight to pick, Scott. The guy is a Navy Seal. He is a soldier and he fights wars. As much as I want to think ultras are a challenge, which they are, and ultra runners are tough, and they are, it all pales to the willingness to lay down your life for something bigger than you. Should soldiers be given immunity from the truth? Definitely not. Does a Navy Seal raising money for fallen comrades deserve being labeled a self promoter? I have my answer. My humble advice? Bow your head and move on. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Will Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711766757619416742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-73668276372445378962008-12-22T09:22:00.000-08:002008-12-22T09:22:00.000-08:00I think ultrarunners do look at this a bit tainted...I think ultrarunners do look at this a bit tainted because we run the type of races David's site is talking about.

I thought he was strange and very quite. I tried to talk to him several times while on base. He comes off very serious at first but then you realize that's just him. He is very militant and disciplined. He did everything by the book. What he did that really caught my attention was when we would get back to base from our shift around 1AM you would see Goggins go straight to his gear and put his running shoes on. He would then leave and be gone for a couple of hours running into the wee hours of the morning. Very occasionally you might see a guy try to hang with him, but usually not after the first time. Then it would be some other sucker who thought they could do it, work all day until 1am and then go pt. Anyway, what was so amazing about Goggins is that we had to be back to work at 4am the next morning. But, I not one time, saw him come into the base and not work out after being out all day and night. He inspired me not to try and be a better man. I didn't know who he was, as an athlete, until a year later when I started reading about all this stuff he was doing for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Anyway, Goggins, if you are out there and read this. Keep being hard! The world needs more men like you. You inspire everyone to dig deeper and "test their limits" .

I'm not sure why. But, on a side note, when you look at every single article, every single, picture, every single web page, there are going to be descrepencies. Other people are writing the articles and web pages, when it comes to print, then I see it as well. They only thing I can oversee is my website, but even then, there are webdesigners who have to update, change, and move things around. I don't make "money" off of endorsements. I have taken product, from companies who have donated money to the foundation. I don't see anything wrong with that. I will say this though.... If in my life at some point I do get out of the military, I will have to make a living doing something else. If companies offer me endorsements as well as money for my foundation, why should I turn that down? Why does that topic offend so many people. I can't count on one hand the number of current ultra runners who recieve endorsements. They have to if they want to comepete in far places and try new things. <BR/>As far as needing to justify what I do, and walking a thin line, do you think that I would throw away a 13 year military career with a very clean military record over taking a small chunk of change. The military looks at all of it's athletes very closely to make sure that doesn't happen. With all the decision we make and everything we do we have to go through Jag lawyers. So as far as that thin line is concerned you don't ever have to worry about me walking a thin line, because I would have to worry about a lot more than pissing ultra runners off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-36020783914801143942008-12-17T09:26:00.000-08:002008-12-17T09:26:00.000-08:00The website has been renamed/revamped/updated (now...The website has been renamed/revamped/updated (now DavidGoggins.com) <BR/><BR/>In his reply here he states...<I>"I make a living in the military.

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Goggins at the Ultraman in 2006. He not only an amazing athlete, but a truely humble man who tries to help as many people as he can. I met him prior to the start of the race when he was picking up his rental bike in a local bike shop. I asked him what other bike he had for the race. He responded very simply, "a buddy of mine is letting me borrow his bike for the race because I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a bike that I may only use in once race." He also informed me that a fellow endurance athlete had told him about the Ultraman and how hard it was. He thought that it would be a great attention getter to raise money for his foundation. <BR/>He was also very helpful in answering questions about what kind of nutrition he takes and how he trains. Also, another thing that probably isn't in any article or blog you will read, is that David had only 3 weeks after being overseas fighting for our country to prepare for the ultraman. So, being "unprepaired" is a highly offensive term to use when you describe David. He did end up placing 2nd in the Ultraman World Championships didn't he? I wouldn't call that unprepaired. More like determined, driven, and physically in shape. <BR/>Since 2006 I have exchanged several emails with David asking about his training. I know for the average person it seems a little out of touch, but to me, and to others who have actually had the honor of training with David, it's not. After all, I guy that has weighed 280lbs, and served in all three branches of Special Operations, should never be underestimated. <BR/>By the way, for those of you who follow David, I hear he is doing the RAAM bike race in 2009.<BR/>My last comment....

I really was hoping this would be more of a commentary on the publicity of individuals in ultrarunning. The posts of those who met him above say David is a pretty solid guy. So if you have comments, let's try and not get too personal.<BR/><BR/>David, I can't thank you enough for posting above. It clarifies a lot of things for me about the 100-Mile Man site and how it fits into your outbound profile. You are right that I should be careful to comment on people I haven't met, and I didn't mean for this to be a commentary about you at all. Simply about the promotional aspect of what we're seeing. <BR/><BR/>For example, I saw that you were going to be on NBC for the Ironman coverage. I don't know you, so I Googled you like most people would. What came up was the 100-Mile Man promotion/videos/etc. That's what I have to work with to get my initial impression of David Goggins. Do I know who you are? Absolutely not. Does the material make me form opinions about you? Yes, whether I like it or not. All I'm saying is be careful how and when others promote you. It might give folks the wrong message.<BR/><BR/>Your comment above clarified plenty for me. Thanks again for taking the time to do it. BTW, I thought your NBC coverage was great. It really got the message about your foundation across well.<BR/><BR/>I don't even know what to say about the Harlem Web site guy. It's one thing to critique, it's another thing altogether to personally insult someone like that. My sympathies to you, David. If it makes you feel any better, I get comments like that monthly on my blog and I'm not even doing anything that interesting. ;-)<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-8119368736292124282008-12-15T07:56:00.000-08:002008-12-15T07:56:00.000-08:00After reading that Harlem post and David's post he...After reading that Harlem post and David's post here, I stick to my earlier comment.<BR/><BR/>Including the part where I say I promise I'm not posting this just because he could kick my ass in 0.27 seconds.<BR/><BR/>Just be glad you didn't phrase your post as crass as that poor Lance POS did.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-3551801002260148322008-12-14T18:25:00.000-08:002008-12-14T18:25:00.000-08:00See now I think that reply, in his (your) own word...See now I think that reply, in his (your) own words, is much more powerful info than that from the website, your message is much more clear/defined.<BR/><BR/><I>"It truely amazes me that grown people have the time to put this kind of crap on line about someone they have never met".</I><BR/><BR/>I don't agree with that, you've chosen to have a public image and allowed selective (often hyped) highlights of your life, and people naturally react, as you should expect.<BR/><BR/>You clearly can articulate your own story/goals better than anyone else, and personally I feel the realities (everything you just explained in reply here) build a much stronger image (than site), and help to actually understand who you are and what you are about.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I'm glad I feel I've got to 'know' you better as a result of this blog topic, and wish growing/continued support & success.<BR/><BR/>Will G.willgotthardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323789111806889198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-53481332940059471592008-12-14T15:49:00.000-08:002008-12-14T15:49:00.000-08:00Since this is about me, I think that it is good fo...Since this is about me, I think that it is good for me to say some things. First, I want to thank the people who have actually met me and came to my defense. For everybody else, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I haven't earned 1 dime from Ultrarunning. As a matter of fact, my family has spent thousands of dollars trying to raise money for this foundation. The 100 Mile man is not who I am,,, So I am not the self proclaimed 100mileman. The 100 Mile man is actually a foundation that was started by a man who wanted to raise a million dollars by running running a 24 hour race. His goal was to run a 100 miles in 24 hours. This man called me because he heard about what I was doing. He asked if I would help support thier foundation. As you can see I said yes. If you have looked on the 100mileman website, you have seen a lot of information about me that I myself did not put on the website. By the way,,,, I do not have a website, nor did I start a facebook page on myself. I do not have an ego. Compairing me to Dean K is just plain funny. They guy makes a living off of running and writing books. I make a living in the military. Being in the military, you can not be sponsored by anyone and except money from sponsors. By the way.... I'm sorry that me getting 3 hours of sleep offends people. In order for me to do my job and train for these events, that is what I have to do. I do not run for the military. They ask me at times to do things for them and I do, but it is not my job to be an athlete for them and I do not trian during work hours. When I go to races, I must take leave and pay for it out of my pocket. When I raise money for the foundations, I also race on my dime. The 100 mile man foundation has been supportive of me raising awareness and raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foudnation. It truely amazes me that grown people have the time to put this kind of crap on line about someone they have never met. I choose running 100 mile races to raise money because it was a hard thing to do and because it was a sport where people just did their own thing. That is the best thing about this sport, you are on your own. Sorry to have to explain myself, but I want people to at least have the correct facts when they decide that I'm a bad guy or a self promoter for my own personal gain. The 100 mile man foundation put that I was one of the top 20 ultra runners because ultra running magazine listed me in the top 20 last year. I'm not saying it to kiss my ass. I know how they pick the top athletes and I raced a lot in 2007. I by no means have ever said that about myself. It is true that I don't like to run. I weighed 280 lbs in 2005. You will see how much I enjoy running when you stop seeing my name in the results when I reach my personal goal of the amount of money I would like to raise. I didn't see it fit to have a bake sale when 11 fellow SEAL's were killed in the war. So, I decided to pick something hard to honor the hard men that they were. And the hard time their families would be going through. Once again I want to thank those of you who support my efforts and no me for who I am, not what they read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-52720603414568012232008-12-14T01:41:00.000-08:002008-12-14T01:41:00.000-08:00You are right of course Scott, DG and DK are bigge...You are right of course Scott, DG and DK are bigger than just ultrarunning, they are trying to reach a far wider audience – and by and large I think they are doing this with very good intentions – to raise money for charity and get people up and active. So, I am quite happy to give these guys some poetic license (top 20 ultramarathoner, crawling up Robie Point etc.), especially since they (more than anyone else) have really boosted to boost the image and profile of the sport we know and love. <BR/><BR/>I'll take a case in point from my run this morning. I ran with a guy from the UK who had never contemplated an Ultra until he read Deans book. He has now raced ultras for two years and is unbeaten – including winning the prestigious London to Brighton (one of the world's oldest ultras). Now, at the end of his marathon career he is super-excited a whole new running career path has opened up for him. <BR/><BR/>Also, The Dean Machine and the Goggins Express probably do not have total control over their own image. The Publishing Company certainly has big stake in Deans image and the Military has a big stake in Davids image. They (rather than just the athletes themselves) have a huge vested interest in making the athlete appear super-human and the event they compete in appear almost impossibly hard. <BR/><BR/>Will: Based your Quad Dipsea finish - congrats on cracking the top 20-ultramarathoners list :-)<BR/><BR/>Shaunta: Jon has his own blog here: http://rdljon.blogspot.com/ <BR/><BR/>Hey Scott, have you noticed that whenever Karnazes or Vespa get discussed you get 5x the usual number of comments :-) <BR/><BR/>Cheers, PaulPaul Charterishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831196294867106529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-50616912801093336252008-12-13T21:04:00.000-08:002008-12-13T21:04:00.000-08:00ugh.

More power to him for getting the media attention.<BR/>Al AbbsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-53928991909838429732008-12-13T06:52:00.000-08:002008-12-13T06:52:00.000-08:00This is a great set of posts!

I can remember even a few years ago when an ultrarunner could have run to the moon and back and there would be 0 comments.<BR/><BR/>I like the transparency and the arguments because it means people care and maybe more people will put the McDonalds down and go for a run.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931463152080267315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-13043144629277557292008-12-13T05:13:00.000-08:002008-12-13T05:13:00.000-08:00Hi,I'm a friend of Jon Olsen's wife, Denise.

That could be a...Scott, I like you full disclosure. That could be a blog in itself.<BR/><BR/>I've been waiting for someone to draw the comparison of Dean Karnazes to David Goggins. It was just a matter of time. It was beginning to feel like there was a fear to make the comparison because it would be bashing the intent of the Goggins cause. I've been looking at it and thinking why is Dean Karnazes being bashed by the ultrarunning community but David Goggins is not? They are both very good endurance runners and they both win races where there is less than elite competition. Most importantly, they are both very good at promoting their accomplishments for a good cause.<BR/><BR/>So who cares? Is everyone going to start bashing David for claiming to be one of the 20 best like they do with Dean Karnazes? <BR/><BR/>Both of these guys are using their ultrarunning exposure and wins to do a hell of a lot more for charity than I or most others are doing, so I have a problem with anyone who would minimize there accomplishments because they are boastfull in order to promote a good cause.<BR/><BR/>I don't see any other runner above their calibur, running for a good cause and giving as much as they do. They both should be commended for what they do.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376680763047111359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-35282847487752310332008-12-12T22:19:00.000-08:002008-12-12T22:19:00.000-08:00http://harlemrunner.blogspot.com/2008/03/david-gog...http://harlemrunner.blogspot.com/2008/03/david-goggins-prettiest-motherf-er-in.html<BR/><BR/>this was an interesting interaction between David and another runner online. <BR/><BR/>warning. colorful language. <BR/><BR/>Mikal Doscic<BR/>Reno, NVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
