Seth Demoor is BACK baby

LRC gonna have a field day w this morning’s video. Bro drove an hour to walk 600m in a poncho

This has comment of the day written all over it:

"I was thinking the other day how weird it was that I missed seeing Seth drink his coffee in the morning... so it made me happy to see this little ritual again. It also felt strangely refreshing to see Seth's breath when he opened his car door at 3:15, I could almost feel the cold air in my lungs... but it'll be a couple months before I enjoy that sensation here in Wisconsin. I can only imagine what those people at 7:53 were thinking as they watched the little blue hooded man hobbling down the trail with a drone... if they only knew! Thank you Seth for making the effort to get out there and share the beauty with us!"

I think we're mis-reading our man Seth.

He's got all of that money to burn for gas. Still gets donations because he's hurting.

It's his version of the Camino de Santiago. By next week he'll have worked up to shouldering a cross while walking 800m.

While on sabatical !

Though i'm not sure if that ever ended ... ? Or started for that matter ..

This would have been the perfect opportunity for Seth to spend some time with his kids in the mountains. Show them what he does everyday, and give TL a break. And it' s not like this has to be done at 5AM as it' s just walking.

The only time I recall Seth taking the kids into the mountains was to look at the house he grew up in.

Not for his kids to have experiences, but for his kids to see his old experiences.

I generally feel the message board is a bit cruel to ol' Seth but have to admit this made me laugh out loud.

haha as if seth would ever willingly be in the house during the kids' morning routine. He goes to mountain tops and coffee shops to avoid it. I wonder if the division of labor is so strict that TL actually gets annoyed when seth is involved because he doesn't even know what needs to be done and just makes things slower.

I wonder who looks forward to his daily posts more, the LRC crowd here or the DGR faithful? Who would be more lost without his daily vlog?

I’m a bit of a hybrid as I haven’t watched one of his vlogs in a long time, but I do come here often to read and enjoy the Seth bashing over coffee.

I'm pretty similar. I first watched a few videos involving Pikes Peak last year, and thought those videos were interesting if a little bloated. But then I lost all interest because in general a daily blog is just. going. to. be. boring. And then I started to notice how he spoke strangely about training theory, and then I noticed the weird aspects of his personality/religion/family life. It wasn't long before I knew I'd never watch another one of his videos unironically unless he had an actual interesting goal he was about to undertake. And then, I started to notice how stupidly he approached his important goals, and I went fully into roast mode.

I feel somewhat bad for him attracting our attention, because he isn't exceptionally...anything really. There are plenty of christian-lite boneheads who go to church every sunday, don't think deeply about anything in their lives, and make their wives do all the work for their giant family. There isn't really that much to say about seth's non-running lifestyle that can't be said about large swaths of the country. But I don't have a popular daily thread to discuss those boneheads, so Seth serves as a proxy for everyone else like him. I guess he really is christlike in that way.

This lunacy is what keeps me coming back to his vlog. The guy supposed injured by sitting for hours is driving for hours to walk 600 meters. The dead serious trod with the rain poncho like he is on his way to Mount Doom to destroy the ring. Or maybe even to intercept the nasty little hobbits that has stolen it from us.

We get a small glimpse inside his mentality - he is trying to tell us something by wearing the nyc marathon poncho, but the curtain closes before the message comes across and we are left with the puzzling image of a man cloaked in a rain poncho on a sunny day.

He looks like a homeless man carrying his whole life on his back, clenching to the trustfull poncho while searching for a way out of this life and on to something better.

Is that what you are trying to tell us Seth? Did you find any shelter? Could you hang the poncho to dry, stretch your feet and get a night of sound sleep without the thought of shoes battling each other to certain death, the sound of questions of the day getting screamed into the void, the sight of righ thurr, right thurr, right thurr?

Maybe you could curl up and close your eyes, don't wake up untill this all is over, open your eyes and see that you stand on the start line at Pikes Peak, nothing but hobby joggers toeing the line with you. Maybe the crown for a segment or two?

Talk to us, Seth. What are you trying to say?

10/10 this is what I read this thread for. You forgot the lit headlamp dangling from his neck in broad daylight though.

Yeah, what was that about?

Why do you have a headlamp on in a car while driving?

Why do you have a headlamp on in the first place?

Where is Seth’s friend Steve? I miss a good Steve cameo. Seemed like the only guy in Seth’s life willing to call him out on his bs. Was there a falling out? Bring back Steve!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought Lord of the Rings trudging to Mt. Doom there. The bit at 7:50 that y’all highlighted earlier where you could see people just trying to figure out what this dude in the blue poncho was up to is maybe the hardest I’ve laughed at anything all week.

The headlamp in the car while driving in the dark is so he illuminates himself, creating a mirror out of the windshield. He drives while looking at himself, trying to discern what he have turned in to. Will it be the same man staring back at him today, as yesterday? If he keeps driving will the man in front of him morph into something else, something better? As the night turns in to dawn his reflection gradually disappears, the same way the true Seth gradually dissapeared over the course of his vlog. All that is left is a faint light from his chest, the headlamp hanging from his neck. You can hardly see it as the sun shines so much brighter. All that we, and he, knows is that there once was a lone light in the dark, a Seth in the windshield mirror. Maybe tomorrow the light won't fade.

I have said before that Seth is actually an existential nihilist. This would mean that the answers to your questions is why not wear a light in the daytime? In fact, why not cloak oneself completely in lights. Each light rendering the other more and more meaningless, and in turn the great source of light and life and existence itself, the sun. He is devaluing the meaning of light to the point of nothingness.

Ipso facto, Seth/DGR is performance art by one of the true masters of the form.
