Dean Karnazes survives coyote attack to finish 150 miler

Thats a bear homie dont be obtuse.

If you needed to, you could rapechoke a coyote. They are like 1/2 the size of a german shepard.

Maybe him did

Let’s say he did get attacked. Who the hell thinks that posting to Instagram is the first thing you should do after that?!? I call BS

Does "attacked" = "saw"? Because then I believe him. A lone 30lb coyote has a death wish or rabies if it attacks a 150lb animal.

Now I see it was likely blunt force trauma. Sorry but I saw the insta video and his injuries. He face-planted, busting himself up pretty good, but they are non consistent with bite wounds. That's not fun, but to go on and suggest he was attacked by a coyote is pretty wild, attention-seeking stuff. He should probably get some therapy, to be perfectly honest.

I'm just surprised he is still running, honestly. I had not heard anything about him for a long time.

Cancel my evening plans!

No one is disputing that a human can get attacked by a bear. It's the specifics of Rachel Smith's story that are pure fiction.

Good luck with that, brave lad. There were so many attacks in Vancouver's Stanley Park that in 2021 they closed it to the public from 7pm to 7am.

Park closed from 7pm to 7am due to Coyote attacks

This is normally a very popular and busy inner city park for locals and tourists, but during Covid the number of visitors dropped so dramatically that the Coyote population went way up, and they were not happy when humans interrupted their hunting grounds.

I'm sure you could fight one off, maybe not a pack though, and one nip may mean painful rabies shots.

Dean should have put a cap in it's a$$.

I heard the coyote snuck off after Dean started telling it the story of how he got into ultrarunning, aged 30.

Bravo

I have had literally dozens of coyote encounters over the last few years. Including encounters were coyotes took my shoes, chased me on a track and even where entire families approached me. Never have I been “attacked”. I have a very very hard time believing this story.

He got attacked because he was vulnerable looking so slow and fragile, like a fawn. I agree with him, he is addicted and cannot stop. The reason coyotes do not attack Walmsley is because he runs like a predator, not a prey.

Hence the “attack”.

Uber Eats has been having trouble finding delivery people. The coyote was delivering for them. It had a pizza strapped to its back and a mini barrel of coffee around its neck. The fight ensued when Dean told the coyote he only had a $100 bill and wanted change.

that coyote is really a crazy clown

One or more of the following actually happened

He was hallucinating and/or falling asleep on his feet (both more common than you think during an ultra). Fell down and did a faceplant. When he came out of his stupor after hitting the ground he blamed it all on the coyote (that he imagined).

Needed a good story to get attention, since he has done almost every other fitness related stunt he could possibly do. Animal attacks on humans has been a hot media item lately. Fell down and came up with coyote story knowing it would get covered (and you must agree it worked because you are reading this).

Everyone loves famous handsome ultramarathon man Dean. Even the coyotes, and one kissed him (on the lips!) in the middle of the night. Oh, and did you know it was during a150 mile long race! He surely would have won if this would not have happened. Hoping there are no permanent scars.

We need someone to analyze his Strava or whatever. If the fall was due to a coyote attack his pace after should have dramatically increased from adrenaline and a desire to get away from the attacker.
