10 Quick Hitters with David “The Flying Doctor” Haunschmidt
Spring is here! We’ve made it through winter. The Trail running summer race season is about to begin.
One man who loves to race is David “The Flying Doctor” Haunschmidt.
Check out his results from this year alone.
🥇Abel Tasman Coastal Classic
🥇Ben Nevis Ultra
🥇Xterra European Championship
🥇Mukamuka Munter 32K
🥇WUU2K 21K
🥇The Tora
🥇Routeburn Classic
🥇Ring Of Fire 50K
🥈Old Ghost Road
🥇Tarawera 50K
🥇Jumbo Holdsworth
🥉The Goat
He’s had more podiums this year than I’ve had races. It feels as though he is only getting stronger and faster as well.
I’m looking forward to seeing which races David takes on over Summer. I didn’t see his name on The Wild list. Now, that would be interesting to see.
