The Passing of “Caballo Blanco”

El Caballo Blanco

I might not even have noticed today’s news about the death of Micah True, the legendary ultra marathoner known as “Caballo Blanco, had I not just a couple of months ago listened to the book “Born to Run.” Caballo was clearly a one-of-a-kind character and somewhat of a godfather to the ultra running community. In what little I’ve read about him he seems like a soul that found his way early on in the simple act of running. I can totally understand it.
