"Arnav "Sonic" Shah is a New York City native and staple in the inline skating scene there and on the East Coast in general. He is a well-known slalom skater and instructor, who also dabbles in aggressive inline skating and travels around the country attending all kinds of skating events and competing in various marathons and utra-marathons. Just a week before he was to skate in the grueling 87 mile (140k) Athens to Atlanta Ultra-Marathon he competed in the NYC 100K Ultra-Marathon. Arnav was kind enough to share his experience participating in this race." - Jan Welch
