The Rapid-fire Q&A
RU: What is your favorite inspiring quotes?
CD: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” -Wayne Dyer
RU: What’s your favorite course, race or trail, event?
RU: Who do you luck up to?
CD: Two people:
1) My father who was a hard worker.
2) Tony Molina from
The Rewire Project, that guys is like the Terminator and an amazing athlete.
RU: In the long song track list of your life: give me two favorite song titles that identify you.
CD: Hahaha. Gonna be a cliche because I grew up in the 80s. It’s gotta be ‘Eye of the Tiger’. That song is so inspirational.
RU: What next for Carlos Dones?
CD: There is a couple [several] things I’d like to do. Kona would be great. Western States. UTMB in France. But the ultimate for me, would be the Ultra Man.

Running on the Sun – 1999 Badwater 135
Description: “Forty runners compete in the most grueling race on earth, the Badwater. The film documents the trials and tribulations of these athletes as they run 135 miles through Death Valley in July and explores the motivations behind this seemingly masochistic contest. A celebration of the perseverance of the human will beyond the limits of the human body. – Written by Forrest Wright”
