Dennis:
The first time I went to the running of the bulls
4
00:01:55,724 --> 00:01:57,726
I had an agreement with
the friends I was with.
5
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,597
Two of my friends would
run the first day,
6
00:01:59,771 --> 00:02:01,208
and myself and another friend
7
00:02:01,382 --> 00:02:03,210
would be on a balcony
above him, filming it,
8
00:02:03,384 --> 00:02:05,168
and the next day
we'd flip roles.
9
00:02:05,342 --> 00:02:06,996
I was filming at La Curva,
10
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:10,130
a famous 75 degree
turn along the route.
11
00:02:10,304 --> 00:02:11,740
This bull comes
around the corner
12
00:02:11,914 --> 00:02:13,611
and clipped someone in
the back of his leg,
13
00:02:13,785 --> 00:02:15,047
knocks him up into the air.
14
00:02:15,222 --> 00:02:17,224
He drops straight onto his
head,
15
00:02:17,398 --> 00:02:20,444
and immediately he
urinated all over himself.
16
00:02:20,618 --> 00:02:22,490
For all I knew he was dead.
17
00:02:22,664 --> 00:02:24,709
He had eight medics
swarm on him,
18
00:02:24,883 --> 00:02:26,711
trying to help him,
trying to revive him,
19
00:02:26,885 --> 00:02:30,193
trying to ensure that
he could regain consciousness.
20
00:02:31,281 --> 00:02:34,589
It was ugly, but I think
it was good that I saw that,
21
00:02:34,763 --> 00:02:36,678
before I ran for the
first time,
22
00:02:36,852 --> 00:02:40,116
so that I understood
what could happen
23
00:02:40,290 --> 00:02:42,292
on the average day in Pamplona.
24
00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:46,340
My name is Dennis.
25
00:02:46,601 --> 00:02:49,604
I've been running for six years
now with the bulls.
26
00:02:50,082 --> 00:02:51,562
I live in Arizona.
27
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,582
Dennis:
The goal of bull runners,
28
00:03:11,756 --> 00:03:12,888
who run year in and year out,
29
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:15,325
is to run as long as they can,
30
00:03:15,499 --> 00:03:17,545
right in front
of the horns of the bull.
31
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:19,416
That's what we call
running on the horns.
32
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:21,940
You have to be in the
best shape possible,
33
00:03:22,114 --> 00:03:23,812
because you're trying
to maintain speed
34
00:03:23,986 --> 00:03:25,553
in an unpredictable crowd,
35
00:03:25,727 --> 00:03:27,859
in front of a very
dangerous animal.
36
00:03:28,164 --> 00:03:29,513
You never know
what's gonna happen.
37
00:03:29,687 --> 00:03:31,515
So the training
is ensuring that
38
00:03:31,689 --> 00:03:33,604
if, given the right conditions,
39
00:03:33,778 --> 00:03:35,780
you have the prowess
to get a good run.
40
00:03:35,998 --> 00:03:37,260
There's no amount of practice
41
00:03:37,434 --> 00:03:38,914
that's ever gonna keep
you safe.
42
00:03:39,131 --> 00:03:41,438
Even the most
experienced runners
43
00:03:41,612 --> 00:03:43,484
can have an unfortunate day.
44
00:04:04,940 --> 00:04:06,202
Dennis: The running
of the bulls
45
00:04:06,376 --> 00:04:07,812
is a personal struggle
with yourself.
46
00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:10,337
You shut off...
47
00:04:12,077 --> 00:04:14,863
so many parts of your
mind at that point,
48
00:04:15,516 --> 00:04:18,649
to focus on only that
which is most important,
49
00:04:18,823 --> 00:04:21,739
that you find yourself in
this weird mental state,
50
00:04:21,913 --> 00:04:25,308
where you're euphoric,
you're enraged,
51
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,225
you're blissful,
all at the same time.
52
00:04:31,532 --> 00:04:34,752
I want to push the envelope
53
00:04:34,926 --> 00:04:36,972
in terms of what
can be accomplished.
54
00:04:37,146 --> 00:04:41,803
In running, I'm trying to link
multiple sections together,
55
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:43,892
because I think
to get it would be
56
00:04:45,154 --> 00:04:46,198
just beautiful.
57
00:05:02,084 --> 00:05:04,782
Bill: If it's July 6th,
and I'm not in Pamplona,
58
00:05:04,956 --> 00:05:07,698
or, like, very close to
being in Pamplona,
59
00:05:08,438 --> 00:05:12,137
I'm either in a hospital bed,
60
00:05:12,355 --> 00:05:14,357
a jail cell or a mental ward,
61
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:16,794
because I mean
that's the only thing
62
00:05:16,968 --> 00:05:18,753
that could keep me
from going to fiesta.
63
00:05:20,015 --> 00:05:22,322
You know, in this modern day,
you think, like,
64
00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:26,195
this cannot happen,
this sort of primal ritual,
65
00:05:26,369 --> 00:05:28,240
cannot take place anymore,
it just...
66
00:05:28,632 --> 00:05:30,068
How can they allow
this to happen?
67
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:32,332
And I'm just so grateful
that it does exist,
68
00:05:32,506 --> 00:05:33,942
'cause it's changed my life.
69
00:05:47,564 --> 00:05:49,174
I started boxing when I was 15,
70
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:51,916
and I got lucky,
71
00:05:52,482 --> 00:05:55,529
talking shop with a
really great photographer.
72
00:05:55,703 --> 00:05:57,531
At the end of the night,
I was like,
73
00:05:58,575 --> 00:05:59,707
I was like,
"Who you shootin' for?"
74
00:05:59,881 --> 00:06:01,143
And he's like, "Fight News."
75
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:03,101
I'm like, "Oh fuck,
I love Fight News, man."
76
00:06:03,275 --> 00:06:06,148
He's like, "You know,
our correspondent just left."
77
00:06:06,757 --> 00:06:08,193
"I'll put in a word for you."
78
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,848
And sure enough,
about a week later,
79
00:06:11,762 --> 00:06:13,373
I was writing for Fight News.
80
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,380
My name's Bill Hillmann.
81
00:06:20,554 --> 00:06:22,033
I'm a construction worker
in Chicago.
82
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:23,905
I'm a Union laborer.
83
00:06:24,166 --> 00:06:26,081
The one thing in
my life that I love
84
00:06:26,255 --> 00:06:28,300
more than anything
else is my wife.
85
00:06:29,214 --> 00:06:30,172
She's... she's...
86
00:06:31,695 --> 00:06:33,044
She's my everything.
87
00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:35,395
I can't imagine life
without her.
88
00:06:35,569 --> 00:06:38,006
We moved back in
to my parents' home.
89
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,095
The basement's finished,
90
00:06:40,269 --> 00:06:42,010
and so it was a perfect
spot for us to be,
91
00:06:42,184 --> 00:06:43,141
where we can save money.
92
00:06:44,229 --> 00:06:45,666
My whole family's
in construction.
93
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,016
That goes for my uncles,
my father,
94
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:49,974
and my brothers are carpenters.
95
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:51,280
Mostly he calls for money.
96
00:06:53,195 --> 00:06:54,109
As a mother,
97
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:55,893
it's scary.
98
00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:58,679
So if somebody gets
injured at Pamplona,
99
00:06:58,853 --> 00:07:01,203
he'll call and make sure
that we know it's not him.
100
00:07:01,464 --> 00:07:03,901
I think, though, running
with the bulls is just crazy,
101
00:07:04,075 --> 00:07:05,816
especially if you don't
have health insurance.
102
00:07:06,034 --> 00:07:06,904
Do I discourage him?
103
00:07:07,078 --> 00:07:08,253
Not really.
104
00:07:08,645 --> 00:07:10,081
And I have to tell you,
it's like discouraging
105
00:07:10,255 --> 00:07:12,475
your daughter from going
out with a particular boy,
106
00:07:12,649 --> 00:07:14,738
then that's the only boy
they want to go out with.
107
00:07:14,956 --> 00:07:17,045
Sometimes that can
go against you, you know?
108
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,526
My goal every year, in the run,
109
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:22,006
is to become a better runner.
110
00:07:22,529 --> 00:07:23,704
And to do that
I'mma have to run
111
00:07:23,878 --> 00:07:25,227
on the horns every morning,
112
00:07:25,619 --> 00:07:26,968
and that's my goal every year.
113
00:07:27,142 --> 00:07:28,273
I always fail,
114
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,275
I always fail.
Every year, I fail.
115
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,016
I know I'm gonna fail
this year,
116
00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:33,801
but I'm gonna out there,
117
00:07:34,062 --> 00:07:36,238
and I'm gonna try to run on
the horns every single morning.
118
00:08:11,273 --> 00:08:13,318
Josiah: Hey, I'm Josiah,
I'm from Florida.
119
00:08:13,841 --> 00:08:15,582
My buddy was telling
me about this run tour
120
00:08:15,756 --> 00:08:16,974
that this guy Dennis does,
121
00:08:17,235 --> 00:08:18,846
and found him this
morning and figured
122
00:08:19,063 --> 00:08:21,631
it was a good idea to do it,
on my first time running.
123
00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:23,285
Dennis: So many of the runners
are first time runners,
124
00:08:23,459 --> 00:08:25,853
and it's hard,
your first time, to tell
125
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:27,332
whether people are running
126
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:28,812
because there are
bulls behind them,
127
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,814
or are they running just
because they're freaked out?
128
00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:32,337
Until you're off that run
route, you're not safe.
129
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:33,556
The number one rule
of the run is
130
00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:34,949
if you fall down, stay down.
131
00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:42,391
About five feet from here,
in 1995, American kid,
132
00:08:42,565 --> 00:08:44,262
fell down in the middle
of the route.
133
00:08:44,654 --> 00:08:46,264
He went to go get back up,
134
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,137
and a bull at that time, boom,
135
00:08:49,311 --> 00:08:51,182
put a horn right through him,
and he was dead in no time.
136
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:53,358
Grown, burly,
tough-looking guys
137
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,447
are gonna scream
like little girls,
138
00:08:55,883 --> 00:08:59,364
and run, like, "Ah!" Just run,
fly past you screaming,
139
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:02,498
and not just one,
I mean like 30 or 40 of them.
140
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,848
Right now I'm helping
lead the bull run tour,
141
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:06,458
for the Pamplona Posse.
142
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:08,722
I try to be there
for the young runners,
143
00:09:08,896 --> 00:09:10,637
you know, try to teach
them as much as I can,
144
00:09:10,811 --> 00:09:12,203
and get 'em ready
for that first run.
145
00:09:13,378 --> 00:09:14,945
So I really get
attached to them too,
146
00:09:15,119 --> 00:09:16,686
'cause I don't wanna see
them go and get hurt.
147
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:18,340
That's like the worst
thing that could happen,
148
00:09:18,514 --> 00:09:20,298
is one of those guys
go out and get hurt,
149
00:09:20,472 --> 00:09:22,344
and then know that I gave
them all their knowledge.
150
00:09:22,823 --> 00:09:24,825
So I get invested in them,
you know?
151
00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:27,958
And I worry about them,
you know, so...
152
00:09:28,872 --> 00:09:31,875
You just try to get these
people to understand
153
00:09:32,049 --> 00:09:33,442
that this is
extremely dangerous,
154
00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:35,270
and try and get and put
'em in the best position
155
00:09:35,444 --> 00:09:36,706
they could possibly have,
156
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,970
to have a fun run,
an exciting run,
157
00:09:40,144 --> 00:09:42,756
but a run that isn't gonna
be guaranteed dangerous.
158
00:09:43,017 --> 00:09:45,585
My feeling is, as long as
you're running forward,
159
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:46,760
you're running up the street,
160
00:09:46,934 --> 00:09:48,283
that's when you're safest.
161
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,155
The reason I like this
area is because you can see
162
00:09:51,329 --> 00:09:53,505
right where the bend
is in Santo Domingo.
163
00:09:53,723 --> 00:09:55,943
You can actually tell when
the bull's round that corner.
164
00:09:56,247 --> 00:09:58,249
I have a pretty good gauge
of how long it'll take them
165
00:09:58,423 --> 00:10:00,338
to get to this next
intersection here.
166
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:01,775
This is a good first place
to run, man.
167
00:10:01,949 --> 00:10:03,037
Just be here at 7:30.
168
00:10:03,211 --> 00:10:04,386
Yeah, it sounds good.
169
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:05,953
- We'll run it, man.
- All right.
170
00:10:06,301 --> 00:10:07,563
- Hey, nice meeting you.
- Yeah, I'll see you, brother.
171
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,290
Dennis:
We're at Chupinazo right now.
172
00:10:39,464 --> 00:10:41,118
The opening ceremonies
of fiesta.
173
00:10:41,423 --> 00:10:44,295
At noon, everything goes crazy.
174
00:10:44,469 --> 00:10:46,254
And we've crossed over.
175
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:48,125
We've got our eight runs
we've got to hit this year.
176
00:10:48,299 --> 00:10:49,344
It's gonna be nuts.
177
00:10:49,779 --> 00:10:51,085
This starts it all.
178
00:11:35,129 --> 00:11:37,305
Dennis: It gets to a certain
part of the night,
179
00:11:38,175 --> 00:11:40,438
you have to start
to shift your mind
180
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:42,266
towards what's gonna
happen in the morning.
181
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,573
At 8:00 a.m.,
they're releasing bulls,
182
00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:46,444
and things can get ugly.
183
00:11:46,793 --> 00:11:48,316
There might be some runners
184
00:11:48,490 --> 00:11:49,578
that make it on the run route
in the morning,
185
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:51,101
and are drunk.
186
00:11:51,362 --> 00:11:52,799
Hopefully the police
will find them.
187
00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:54,191
The police are combing
through the route
188
00:11:54,365 --> 00:11:56,019
trying to find anyone
189
00:11:56,193 --> 00:11:58,021
who's the least bit inebriated,
190
00:11:58,282 --> 00:11:59,893
so they can throw
them off the route.
191
00:12:00,676 --> 00:12:02,504
The rules of the run
are very simple.
192
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,724
Run in the direction
the bulls are running,
193
00:12:04,898 --> 00:12:07,814
and try not to impede
the animal in any way.
194
00:12:07,988 --> 00:12:09,598
Try not to touch the bull.
195
00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:12,644
You don't want to do anything
that will disturb it,
196
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,516
get it to turn around,
197
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:16,648
stop it from going
down the route
198
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:19,651
as quickly, and as
cleanly as possible.
199
00:12:30,401 --> 00:12:33,970
Before the first run they say
a small mass at the cathedral,
200
00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:35,929
and some of the
runners go there.
201
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:38,322
I see it as an opportunity
to get my head straight,
202
00:12:38,496 --> 00:12:40,107
and think about what
I'm about to do.
203
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,070
- Speaker:
- Crowd:
204
00:12:47,288 --> 00:12:49,594
- Speaker:
- Crowd:
205
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,776
- Let's do this, man. Do this.
- I can't wait.
206
00:12:57,254 --> 00:12:58,647
Just another thing
for you, right?
207
00:12:58,821 --> 00:12:59,953
- Dennis: Yeah.
- Runner: Here we go.
208
00:13:01,128 --> 00:13:02,085
Dennis: Let's have a good run.
209
00:13:16,143 --> 00:13:17,884
Right now we've got a little
bit of rain coming down.
210
00:13:18,058 --> 00:13:19,755
The problem is,
even with the clouds,
211
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:21,757
the roads get really slimy,
212
00:13:21,931 --> 00:13:22,976
people start
slipping everywhere,
213
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:24,281
especially the bulls.
214
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:26,109
If a bull falls down,
215
00:13:26,283 --> 00:13:27,763
it's gonna get
separated from the pack,
216
00:13:27,937 --> 00:13:28,982
it's gonna get ugly.
217
00:13:36,424 --> 00:13:39,340
Announcer: If you're not up
for running, do not run.
218
00:13:39,557 --> 00:13:43,648
For it will dangerous for you
and as well for the others.
219
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:47,435
Do not run up to the bulls,
nor behind them.
220
00:13:47,696 --> 00:13:51,265
Do not scream, touch
or irritate the bulls.
221
00:13:51,656 --> 00:13:53,310
And please avoid actions
222
00:13:53,484 --> 00:13:55,747
that might direct
their attention towards you.
223
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:58,141
If you fall down
during the bull run,
224
00:13:58,533 --> 00:13:59,621
put your arms around your head,
225
00:13:59,795 --> 00:14:01,405
and try not to move,
226
00:14:01,579 --> 00:14:04,887
until the herd has
moved on completely.
227
00:15:20,136 --> 00:15:21,311
It was just nuts.
228
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:23,574
I mean, not only was the bulls,
like, right behind you,
229
00:15:23,748 --> 00:15:26,664
and honestly I was just
booking it, I had no clue.
230
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:28,275
But just the people
falling in front of you,
231
00:15:28,449 --> 00:15:30,364
and I know I ran over
some people on accident.
232
00:15:30,538 --> 00:15:32,757
Like, straight up,
there was one guy,
233
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:35,108
I accidentally hit him in the
middle of the shoulder blades,
234
00:15:35,282 --> 00:15:36,848
and I saw him go,
just face first,
235
00:15:37,023 --> 00:15:38,633
like just level straight out.
236
00:15:38,807 --> 00:15:40,504
How do you feel, man?
How was it?
237
00:15:40,678 --> 00:15:42,115
I walked around
for like 10 minutes,
238
00:15:42,289 --> 00:15:44,291
just with nothing
going on in my face,
239
00:15:44,465 --> 00:15:46,162
just blown away by it.
240
00:15:46,423 --> 00:15:47,903
I'm a painter, so
all I do is literally
241
00:15:48,077 --> 00:15:49,557
sit in my cubicle of a room,
242
00:15:49,731 --> 00:15:51,951
and try to think up
hyper-emotional responses
243
00:15:52,125 --> 00:15:53,256
to a canvas.
244
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:54,954
This, it was like such
a release
245
00:15:55,128 --> 00:15:57,217
as far as like not having
to create something,
246
00:15:57,391 --> 00:15:58,870
but sheer panic,
247
00:15:59,132 --> 00:16:02,831
like, it was the most
I'd felt things in years, dude.
248
00:16:03,005 --> 00:16:04,485
Like it's just unbelievable.
249
00:16:04,789 --> 00:16:06,226
Tomorrow is Miura.
250
00:16:06,530 --> 00:16:07,836
You know the Miura,
251
00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:09,142
the breed, Miura.
252
00:16:09,316 --> 00:16:10,273
No, I have no clue
about those.
253
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:12,493
You know the horns,
254
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:13,668
the horns?
255
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,365
It's even bigger than me.
256
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:18,151
You got the race, you look like.
257
00:16:18,412 --> 00:16:19,761
You all right?
Did you get hit in the...
258
00:16:21,371 --> 00:16:22,416
- He's okay.
- Yeah?
259
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:24,722
The bull stepped on his elbow.
260
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:26,898
- Nothing broke?
- No, no.
261
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,379
He will be
able to run tomorrow.
262
00:16:29,553 --> 00:16:31,512
Yeah. Gonna be running
out there like this.
263
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,689
- Yeah, nice meeting you.
- Okay. Nice to meet you.
264
00:16:35,385 --> 00:16:37,909
My name is David Ubeda Flores.
265
00:16:38,171 --> 00:16:39,955
The most important
thing in my life
266
00:16:40,129 --> 00:16:42,262
is my girlfriend and my family.
267
00:16:43,263 --> 00:16:45,526
Whenever I can,
I like to visit them,
268
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,572
especially now that I have
five nieces and nephews.
269
00:16:52,315 --> 00:16:53,969
When I am in Pamplona,
270
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:55,927
I know they are
watching me on TV,
271
00:16:56,537 --> 00:16:59,627
and I know they are
cheering for me.
272
00:16:59,844 --> 00:17:01,324
I can feel them.
273
00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:05,589
So my dad, every year,
took me to the city
274
00:17:05,807 --> 00:17:09,289
and showed me the running
of the bulls there.
275
00:17:10,551 --> 00:17:14,207
Since I was a kid, maybe
six, five years old,
276
00:17:14,511 --> 00:17:16,426
I've been watching
bulls running,
277
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,823
and I always wanted to
run in front of the bulls.
278
00:17:21,997 --> 00:17:23,520
I was just grabbing here,
279
00:17:23,694 --> 00:17:25,392
and looking for the bulls.
280
00:17:25,566 --> 00:17:27,785
It's very easy for
him to make friends.
281
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:29,004
That's a fact.
282
00:17:30,701 --> 00:17:34,575
All of our family,
we are known related to him.
283
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:37,186
So I am David's brother.
284
00:17:37,578 --> 00:17:40,233
He's the father of David,
the mother of David.
285
00:17:40,755 --> 00:17:44,237
Woman: Now I, for me, it's
normal that he goes there.
286
00:17:44,628 --> 00:17:47,066
But, I feel very frightened,
287
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,155
when they're
beginning the running.
288
00:17:49,459 --> 00:17:51,983
Last year when he falls down
289
00:17:52,158 --> 00:17:53,376
in the street,
290
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:55,770
and the bulls were over him.
291
00:17:56,031 --> 00:17:58,642
One guy who was
trying to get up,
292
00:17:58,816 --> 00:18:00,166
because he just fell...
293
00:18:02,472 --> 00:18:03,734
in front of David,
294
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:05,562
and I suppose he doesn't know
295
00:18:05,736 --> 00:18:07,303
how to run with the bulls,
296
00:18:07,477 --> 00:18:09,610
so what happened is that he,
297
00:18:09,784 --> 00:18:13,309
he tried to jump over him
but David couldn't.
298
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:20,751
That was horrible.
299
00:18:20,925 --> 00:18:22,013
I hope this year,
300
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:25,191
or the years after this,
301
00:18:25,452 --> 00:18:28,019
don't happen anything like that.
302
00:18:28,933 --> 00:18:31,632
To be close to
this kind of animal,
303
00:18:32,546 --> 00:18:34,939
it's something that
you cannot explain,
304
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,202
it's something that
you have to feel.
305
00:18:36,376 --> 00:18:37,725
You have to be there.
306
00:18:38,029 --> 00:18:40,510
I like to feel these
kind of emotions.
307
00:18:40,684 --> 00:18:43,426
I need to feel this
adrenaline in my body.
308
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,733
I need to feel this fear.
309
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:50,085
I've been running with
the bulls for 18 years,
310
00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:52,174
and every year before the run,
311
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:54,655
I like to go to the
corrals and visit them.
312
00:18:56,047 --> 00:18:58,789
It's kind of first
contact with the herd.
313
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:00,617
I like to introduce myself,
314
00:19:00,791 --> 00:19:05,013
and study all their traits,
the size of the horns,
315
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:07,320
the color of the skin.
316
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:09,278
How tall are they,
317
00:19:09,452 --> 00:19:11,933
and how can I distinguish
the steer from the bulls,
318
00:19:12,107 --> 00:19:14,283
because sometimes they
have similar colors.
319
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:18,157
When I run with the bulls
in other cities in Spain,
320
00:19:18,374 --> 00:19:20,594
I don't usually do this
kind of introduction.
321
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:22,596
But Pamplona is special for me,
322
00:19:22,770 --> 00:19:25,468
because here, they
have the biggest bulls,
323
00:19:25,642 --> 00:19:27,166
you can run the closest,
324
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:29,646
and it's the most
dangerous run in Spain.
325
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,868
When I see the bulls
face-to-face for the first time,
326
00:19:34,129 --> 00:19:35,609
I start to get nervous,
327
00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:38,786
because I realize how
dangerous they can be.
328
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,092
I try to get in their minds...
329
00:19:42,659 --> 00:19:45,532
and I'm usually
visualizing the run.
330
00:19:47,490 --> 00:19:49,188
These bulls are special to me,
331
00:19:49,492 --> 00:19:51,755
because they are so beautiful,
332
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:55,585
powerful, noble, and dangerous.
333
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:56,934
They demand respect.
334
00:19:58,545 --> 00:20:01,591
There is no other animal
in the world like these bulls.
335
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:12,907
Today is Sunday.
336
00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:16,650
It's gonna be a crowded day.
337
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:19,696
The breed today is Miura.
338
00:20:22,743 --> 00:20:24,397
They are the biggest bulls.
339
00:22:42,752 --> 00:22:44,406
David:
340
00:22:56,810 --> 00:22:58,377
Dennis: Yeah, no,
I've never been here before.
341
00:22:58,594 --> 00:23:00,596
After the run, a lot of
the established runners
342
00:23:00,770 --> 00:23:03,904
will come here for breakfast
and talk about the run.
343
00:23:04,078 --> 00:23:06,515
So I saw all the legs
of the bulls, all of them.
344
00:23:06,689 --> 00:23:09,126
I was like a ball,
345
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:11,215
trying to keep safe,
346
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,261
but everyone hit me.
347
00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:16,351
My cap, I left my cap,
I don't know where is my cap.
348
00:23:16,525 --> 00:23:17,483
I miss it.
349
00:23:17,657 --> 00:23:18,658
How do we get you another cap?
350
00:23:18,832 --> 00:23:20,050
I have more.
351
00:23:20,311 --> 00:23:22,139
- Dennis: Oh, good.
- Some other ones.
352
00:23:22,357 --> 00:23:23,663
Bill: I've only been to one
runners' breakfast ever before.
353
00:23:23,837 --> 00:23:25,969
This is number two,
and it's exciting.
354
00:23:26,143 --> 00:23:27,057
So what happened?
355
00:23:27,231 --> 00:23:29,016
Did you headbutt a cabestro?
356
00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:30,583
No, he headbutted me.
357
00:23:30,757 --> 00:23:32,672
I really got nailed
by a by a steer today,
358
00:23:32,846 --> 00:23:35,718
and I busted my face and
my elbow and everything,
359
00:23:35,892 --> 00:23:38,112
and I'm pretty sure most
of these guys saw it on TV,
360
00:23:38,286 --> 00:23:39,896
and so they're all
laughing at me,
361
00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:41,507
and they're also
laughing at my shoes
362
00:23:41,681 --> 00:23:43,204
'cause I've got these
five-finger shoes on.
363
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:45,989
So I'm kind of the class
clown today of the runners.
364
00:23:46,163 --> 00:23:48,470
You have your good days,
you have your bad days, so...
365
00:23:53,257 --> 00:23:56,173
Ten years ago,
I was a street brawler,
366
00:23:56,609 --> 00:23:57,958
a drug dealer,
367
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,090
I was suffering from
a mental disorder,
368
00:24:00,264 --> 00:24:01,527
that I didn't even know I had.
369
00:24:02,397 --> 00:24:04,443
I was doing a lot of drugs
and drinking too much.
370
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,967
I was angry at the world.
371
00:24:08,229 --> 00:24:09,491
The bulls changed all that.
372
00:24:10,797 --> 00:24:12,363
When a bull separates
from the pack,
373
00:24:12,538 --> 00:24:15,497
he gets confused
and scared and angry.
374
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:17,760
He starts lashing
out at everything.
375
00:24:19,501 --> 00:24:22,765
When that happens,
I can see a glimpse of myself
376
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,158
in the animal.
377
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,029
My goal as a runner
378
00:24:26,290 --> 00:24:27,901
is to contain
the wrath of the animal...
379
00:24:29,293 --> 00:24:30,730
and direct it up the street.
380
00:24:31,731 --> 00:24:33,341
There are moments
in the streets,
381
00:24:34,168 --> 00:24:36,779
these majestic moments
with the bulls...
382
00:24:38,259 --> 00:24:39,521
when I feel calm,
383
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,567
when I'm at peace.
384
00:24:41,915 --> 00:24:43,699
That's what the running
of the bulls has given me.
385
00:24:44,221 --> 00:24:46,528
It's helped me
to find inner peace.
386
00:24:48,835 --> 00:24:50,445
This is the bull
I was trying to get to,
387
00:24:50,619 --> 00:24:52,012
and this guy wasn't
having it man,
388
00:24:52,186 --> 00:24:53,622
he nailed me.
389
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,145
He nailed me
and sent me airborne,
390
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:56,712
and I went flat down,
391
00:24:56,886 --> 00:24:58,322
smashed my face,
392
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:00,934
my testicles were
definitely in a lot of pain.
393
00:25:02,326 --> 00:25:05,329
Seeing those shots of me
and Juan Pedro Lecuona,
394
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:06,635
it really made my day because
395
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:09,290
I was broken up a little bit.
396
00:25:09,464 --> 00:25:10,944
I got my ass kicked today,
you know.
397
00:25:11,118 --> 00:25:13,381
But to know that before
I got my ass kicked,
398
00:25:13,555 --> 00:25:15,078
I kicked some ass...
399
00:25:15,949 --> 00:25:17,994
It made you feel like maybe
it was a draw this morning.
400
00:25:18,299 --> 00:25:20,170
It wasn't a fuckin'
total ass-kicking.
401
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:21,868
I think...
402
00:25:22,651 --> 00:25:23,652
to extract,
403
00:25:23,826 --> 00:25:26,133
you know, poetry
out of violence,
404
00:25:26,307 --> 00:25:29,571
to have a violent
experience, to extract truth,
405
00:25:30,616 --> 00:25:31,834
and art out of it.
406
00:25:34,837 --> 00:25:36,360
It's a great endeavor.
407
00:25:36,796 --> 00:25:38,232
The greatest literature,
in my opinion,
408
00:25:38,406 --> 00:25:40,060
that has ever been written
by American writers
409
00:25:40,234 --> 00:25:41,844
were Faulkner,
410
00:25:42,018 --> 00:25:43,890
were Ernest Hemingway.
411
00:25:44,368 --> 00:25:46,066
The guys who really
wrote about violence.
412
00:25:46,283 --> 00:25:48,416
I feel that, you know
I hope that one day,
413
00:25:48,634 --> 00:25:50,331
to do the things
that they've done,
414
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:53,856
take some of this
pain and the blood
415
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:56,206
and ugliness in my life,
416
00:25:56,642 --> 00:25:58,295
and make something
beautiful out of it.
417
00:25:58,469 --> 00:25:59,906
Josiah: I heard you're writing
about your experiences
418
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,560
in Pamplona
for the Chicago Tribune.
419
00:26:01,734 --> 00:26:04,388
Bill: Yeah.
This year I pitched a story,
420
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:07,653
and I have some angles
over there, you know.
421
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:09,045
Is this like a first for you?
422
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:10,873
- Yeah.
- With your writing career?
423
00:26:11,091 --> 00:26:13,310
You know, it's the biggest
print publication of my life,
424
00:26:13,484 --> 00:26:15,182
and something that'll
be on my resume
425
00:26:15,356 --> 00:26:16,618
until the day I die.
426
00:26:16,966 --> 00:26:17,663
I'm a Chicago Tribune
published author,
427
00:26:17,837 --> 00:26:18,664
well, you know, writer.
428
00:26:18,838 --> 00:26:19,839
Yeah, yeah.
429
00:26:21,275 --> 00:26:23,190
It's probably the biggest
day of my writing career today.
430
00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:24,452
- Really?
- Yeah.
431
00:26:24,626 --> 00:26:26,019
Hopefully, I shouldn't drink
432
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,716
because they might not put
it in or something.
433
00:26:27,890 --> 00:26:29,631
My first fiesta,
I used to sleep right here.
434
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:31,328
There's this nice little slope.
435
00:26:31,677 --> 00:26:33,287
It made a comfortable
little bed.
436
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:35,071
It was cool.
437
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,421
The cops they would let me
sleep there after a while.
438
00:26:38,074 --> 00:26:40,250
They recognized me,
and they let me sleep.
439
00:26:47,997 --> 00:26:49,564
- This is Jo here.
- Nice to meet you.
440
00:26:50,086 --> 00:26:51,566
Josiah: Dennis just
introduced me to some dudes
441
00:26:51,740 --> 00:26:52,915
apparently he met last year,
442
00:26:53,394 --> 00:26:55,614
and they're gonna
cook us a meal,
443
00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:57,137
and it's pretty awesome.
444
00:26:57,311 --> 00:26:59,487
I'm a big outdoors guy,
and I like camping,
445
00:26:59,661 --> 00:27:01,358
so this'll be pretty awesome,
446
00:27:01,532 --> 00:27:04,405
being able to eat
a hot meal outside.
447
00:27:04,579 --> 00:27:06,102
It's gonna be almost better
than eating it
448
00:27:06,276 --> 00:27:07,408
inside the busy city.
449
00:27:08,104 --> 00:27:09,018
Dennis: Mm!
450
00:27:10,019 --> 00:27:10,890
So fresh.
451
00:27:12,195 --> 00:27:13,632
We've got
the whole world here, man.
452
00:27:13,806 --> 00:27:16,547
Spanish culture,
African culture,
453
00:27:16,765 --> 00:27:18,027
Iraqi culture.
454
00:27:18,767 --> 00:27:20,900
Ali here used to work
455
00:27:21,074 --> 00:27:23,642
where I worked
for a year in Iraq.
456
00:27:24,207 --> 00:27:26,514
So I was Dennis' gunner in Iraq.
457
00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:29,517
And we were usually
the lead truck on missions.
458
00:27:30,561 --> 00:27:34,261
And I think we were the lead,
because that's where he, Dennis,
459
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,176
that's where he preferred to be.
460
00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:38,613
One day we were on patrol,
461
00:27:38,961 --> 00:27:40,702
and we'd reached the
end of our route,
462
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:42,008
and we were turning around
to go back the other way,
463
00:27:42,312 --> 00:27:44,271
and instead of us being lead,
464
00:27:44,532 --> 00:27:47,927
this one time,
another truck took lead.
465
00:27:54,281 --> 00:27:55,848
Ali: It's like
466
00:27:56,022 --> 00:27:57,588
anything that happens,
you're just like "okay."
467
00:27:57,980 --> 00:27:59,112
I kind of expected that.
468
00:27:59,286 --> 00:28:00,243
I think Dennis is,
469
00:28:01,549 --> 00:28:02,463
he was very much the same.
470
00:28:02,637 --> 00:28:03,986
He was looking for it.
471
00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:07,555
It wasn't like it found him,
he went looking for it
472
00:28:07,773 --> 00:28:09,252
We went looking for it.
473
00:28:09,644 --> 00:28:11,298
Dennis: I always wanted
to be the guy with the plan,
474
00:28:11,472 --> 00:28:13,996
who could guide people through
a chaotic situation,
475
00:28:14,170 --> 00:28:16,564
that's what I loved
about the Army,
476
00:28:16,738 --> 00:28:20,133
and why I now feel
so at home here in Pamplona.
477
00:28:23,745 --> 00:28:25,268
Dennis:
This is our La Curva day.
478
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:26,748
We're gonna do this, man.
479
00:28:26,922 --> 00:28:28,184
You got this.
480
00:28:28,445 --> 00:28:30,143
Just slow it down, right.
481
00:28:30,447 --> 00:28:32,798
We can pull this off, man.
This is something special.
482
00:28:33,015 --> 00:28:33,929
Really something special.
483
00:28:34,103 --> 00:28:35,670
People don't do this run.
484
00:28:35,844 --> 00:28:37,933
And I'm loving the scarceness
of the crowd right now.
485
00:28:38,107 --> 00:28:38,934
Yeah.
486
00:30:30,002 --> 00:30:32,221
Dennis: My knee is like
just swelling up.
487
00:30:33,962 --> 00:30:35,398
I don't know, I don't know
488
00:30:35,572 --> 00:30:36,399
if I'm gonna be able
to run tomorrow.
489
00:30:39,054 --> 00:30:41,013
Frankly I'm a little nervous
though, Dennis got injured,
490
00:30:41,187 --> 00:30:43,319
which means tomorrow
I might be running by myself,
491
00:30:43,493 --> 00:30:45,539
which will be the first
time that that's happened.
492
00:30:45,713 --> 00:30:47,193
That's the thing
that's the most disappointing
493
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:48,411
is it was the easiest day
494
00:30:48,585 --> 00:30:50,065
to run that we've had so far,
495
00:30:50,239 --> 00:30:51,806
and it was
the worst run for him.
496
00:31:05,341 --> 00:31:06,690
Dennis:
It's just too early to say.
497
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,431
My knee is gonna be fine.
498
00:31:08,692 --> 00:31:10,694
The problem is that
the bull stepped on my calf,
499
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:13,088
and it wrenched my hip
down in the street.
500
00:31:14,481 --> 00:31:16,048
It's really painful.
501
00:31:17,701 --> 00:31:20,139
I don't know what's gonna
happen at this point.
502
00:31:21,401 --> 00:31:24,273
I'm gonna need to get some
good sleep, and rest up.
503
00:31:25,187 --> 00:31:26,667
Hopefully by the end of fiesta
504
00:31:26,841 --> 00:31:28,756
I can get back out there.
505
00:31:37,286 --> 00:31:38,984
Josiah: Yeah,
it's the fifth day of running.
506
00:31:39,158 --> 00:31:41,943
and I'm not getting any sleep
so I'm starting to get sick.
507
00:31:42,117 --> 00:31:44,206
Losing my voice a bit but,
508
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:45,773
still running today
509
00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:47,427
because I want to get
out on those horns.
510
00:31:47,601 --> 00:31:49,516
However,
Dennis got injured yesterday.
511
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:51,518
I think he's still running
today from when I talked to him,
512
00:31:51,692 --> 00:31:54,564
and Bill got injured,
as did David,
513
00:31:54,738 --> 00:31:56,392
I feel like I'm the last one
514
00:31:56,566 --> 00:31:58,829
that hasn't gotten either
injured or trampled,
515
00:31:59,047 --> 00:32:01,223
which means I'm either
not running hard enough
516
00:32:01,397 --> 00:32:02,616
and getting close
enough to the horns,
517
00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:04,835
or I'm just getting lucky,
518
00:32:05,010 --> 00:32:07,099
so today I'm gonna be pushing
the envelope a little bit,
519
00:32:07,273 --> 00:32:09,101
and trying to get closer
to the horns.
520
00:32:09,362 --> 00:32:11,973
- Took some ibuprofen.
- Andy: Perfect.
521
00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:14,715
I'm gonna rip through this
scab when I start running.
522
00:32:15,803 --> 00:32:18,110
Here, cream me up, Andy.
523
00:32:18,501 --> 00:32:20,547
Cream me up, man, right there.
524
00:32:20,895 --> 00:32:21,809
Bam.
525
00:32:23,071 --> 00:32:24,420
Glorious.
526
00:32:24,725 --> 00:32:26,292
Andy: Yeah, I guess
rub that all around, man.
527
00:32:27,162 --> 00:32:28,859
Going upstairs,
going downstairs,
528
00:32:29,034 --> 00:32:30,339
is the worst right now.
529
00:32:31,688 --> 00:32:33,081
Not enjoyable.
530
00:32:34,735 --> 00:32:35,997
Ouch.
531
00:32:36,606 --> 00:32:39,044
- That hurts? More than you did?
- Yeah, it's super tender.
532
00:32:39,305 --> 00:32:41,046
Yeah, perfect.
533
00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:48,618
Ah man, thanks ladies.
534
00:32:50,664 --> 00:32:51,839
Is that better?
535
00:32:52,013 --> 00:32:53,449
I'm starting to like
not feel my hip.
536
00:32:55,712 --> 00:32:56,626
That's better.
537
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,020
Perfect, thanks so much.
538
00:32:59,194 --> 00:33:00,413
Brilliant.
539
00:33:00,761 --> 00:33:01,936
Okay, let's run.
540
00:33:04,330 --> 00:33:05,809
Brunette woman: Is that all
you came here for?
541
00:33:06,071 --> 00:33:08,551
Yeah, I need it though,
I needed it.
542
00:33:09,335 --> 00:33:10,162
It was good.
543
00:33:15,254 --> 00:33:16,168
Dennis: How ya doin'?
544
00:33:16,342 --> 00:33:17,256
Are you running today?
545
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:18,387
Dennis: Yeah.
546
00:33:19,823 --> 00:33:20,955
Josiah: How's the hip feel?
547
00:33:22,826 --> 00:33:25,046
Andy said after 15
minutes I won't feel it.
548
00:33:26,178 --> 00:33:27,701
I don't know if that's true.
549
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:29,877
Josiah: Ah man, I'm
getting so sick.
550
00:33:30,095 --> 00:33:31,226
- Are you?
- A little bit,
551
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,314
I've been sleeping in the park
552
00:33:32,488 --> 00:33:33,446
for like the past five days.
553
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,143
It's not been fun.
554
00:33:36,753 --> 00:33:37,928
Sleeping in the park?
555
00:33:38,407 --> 00:33:40,453
Yeah, it's cold out there,
it's loud.
556
00:33:40,627 --> 00:33:41,889
Where do you put your stuff?
557
00:33:42,281 --> 00:33:44,587
I hide it up in, like,
a tree area, that's pretty out.
558
00:33:44,761 --> 00:33:46,111
I sleep one place,
559
00:33:46,285 --> 00:33:47,938
and then I hide my
stuff in another place.
560
00:33:48,243 --> 00:33:50,376
'Cause like, where you sleep,
everyone is out there.
561
00:33:50,550 --> 00:33:51,855
It's just not as safe.
562
00:33:52,508 --> 00:33:53,553
Holy crap.
563
00:33:54,075 --> 00:33:55,294
You're probably
the only person
564
00:33:55,468 --> 00:33:56,686
that's successfully done this.
565
00:33:56,860 --> 00:33:58,079
Josiah: Really?
566
00:33:58,384 --> 00:33:59,080
Like, none of your stuff
has gotten stolen?
567
00:33:59,254 --> 00:34:00,125
No.
568
00:34:01,691 --> 00:34:03,519
- Why? Do people...
- Do you need a place to crash?
569
00:34:03,737 --> 00:34:05,173
I mean, it would be great,
570
00:34:05,347 --> 00:34:07,132
it just seems like
there's nothing,
571
00:34:07,697 --> 00:34:09,830
you know, here
that's at least cheap.
572
00:34:10,004 --> 00:34:11,266
Come to Txoko after the run.
573
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,485
- All right.
- All right.
574
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:13,529
We'll go get your bag.
575
00:34:14,182 --> 00:34:15,357
Give you a nice place to sleep.
576
00:34:15,531 --> 00:34:16,576
- You got a place?
- Yeah.
577
00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:17,794
Thanks so much.
578
00:34:45,474 --> 00:34:46,345
Here we go.
579
00:34:47,346 --> 00:34:48,303
Number five.
580
00:35:51,584 --> 00:35:53,629
Josiah: I'm still shaking
from that run.
581
00:35:53,803 --> 00:35:55,501
I just tried to hold position
longer than I have been
582
00:35:55,675 --> 00:35:56,937
the past few days.
583
00:35:57,285 --> 00:35:59,592
Then I thought I saw
where the lead bull was,
584
00:35:59,766 --> 00:36:01,811
but it ended up being
one of the steers,
585
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:04,292
and the lead bull
was much farther ahead.
586
00:36:04,684 --> 00:36:06,338
So I just took off running
587
00:36:06,642 --> 00:36:08,340
and I knew that maybe I was
going a little too fast,
588
00:36:08,514 --> 00:36:09,645
so I kind of looked behind me,
589
00:36:09,819 --> 00:36:10,994
and I realized at that time
590
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:12,387
I was coming right around here.
591
00:36:12,561 --> 00:36:14,302
That's when I realized
at that time,
592
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,130
how close they actually were.
593
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,176
And then I remember just
being hit in the elbow.
594
00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:20,178
And it just hit me perfectly,
595
00:36:20,352 --> 00:36:22,180
it just made me slide
right under the fence.
596
00:36:22,354 --> 00:36:25,270
I didn't want to be
curb-stomped by a bull
597
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:26,836
like with my head backwards,
598
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:28,229
so I just kept sliding,
599
00:36:28,403 --> 00:36:30,013
and the cops
just dragged me up so,
600
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,363
it ended up
working out pretty good.
601
00:36:31,537 --> 00:36:32,712
But I cut up my knee a bit.
602
00:36:34,453 --> 00:36:36,846
It's not too bad, I'm just
gonna go to the medical tent,
603
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:38,413
and disinfect it,
604
00:36:38,674 --> 00:36:39,632
just so I don't got
urine in my wound.
605
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,416
All right, thank you very much.
606
00:36:41,721 --> 00:36:42,722
I'm pretty stoked.
607
00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:46,987
Definitely better than not
running on the horns, for sure.
608
00:36:47,770 --> 00:36:49,511
I'm gonna see if
I can get it around
609
00:36:49,685 --> 00:36:51,078
where they got
a good photo of it.
610
00:36:51,383 --> 00:36:52,558
You see me there, there.
611
00:36:54,081 --> 00:36:56,301
And then by this photo
I'm already hitting the ground,
612
00:36:56,475 --> 00:36:58,172
so you really don't
see me at all.
613
00:37:01,088 --> 00:37:03,786
I just walked in to
go buy some whites.
614
00:37:04,178 --> 00:37:05,962
It seems like everybody
on the run route,
615
00:37:06,136 --> 00:37:07,616
either they have
white pants or a white shirt
616
00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:09,052
or a combination of both,
617
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:10,924
and I've kind of been
standing out.
618
00:37:11,098 --> 00:37:12,099
Can you try them on?
619
00:37:12,273 --> 00:37:13,535
- Sure.
- Yeah, sure.
620
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:15,450
Come with me.
621
00:37:16,669 --> 00:37:18,061
Josiah: I think it's kind of
out of respect
622
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,454
for the other runners.
623
00:37:19,628 --> 00:37:21,021
Obviously everyone else
wears it,
624
00:37:21,195 --> 00:37:23,023
and I don't want to be
the outsider coming in.
625
00:37:23,197 --> 00:37:24,503
Just not taking what they take
626
00:37:24,677 --> 00:37:26,200
obviously very seriously.
627
00:37:26,505 --> 00:37:27,636
It's "1 XL."
628
00:37:27,810 --> 00:37:28,507
- Josiah: Okay.
- Assistant: Okay?
629
00:37:28,681 --> 00:37:29,551
Josiah: Thank you.
630
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:32,250
I'm not coming back
out to show you guys.
631
00:37:46,394 --> 00:37:49,179
Dennis: Pamplona's bull run
started hundreds of years ago
632
00:37:49,354 --> 00:37:50,877
as the most efficient way
633
00:37:51,051 --> 00:37:53,314
of getting bulls
from out in the pasture
634
00:37:53,488 --> 00:37:55,011
into the center of town.
635
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:56,274
Before we had trucks,
636
00:37:56,448 --> 00:37:57,840
the easiest way to do that,
637
00:37:58,058 --> 00:37:59,799
was to let the bulls run.
638
00:38:00,365 --> 00:38:02,062
These bulls are so revered
639
00:38:02,236 --> 00:38:05,239
that some of the people
wanted to run with them.
640
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:08,590
Not all bull runs
in Spain, nowadays,
641
00:38:09,112 --> 00:38:10,505
end in a bullfight.
642
00:38:10,810 --> 00:38:11,898
In Pamplona they do.
643
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,772
Each day the bulls from
the morning's run are killed.
644
00:38:16,946 --> 00:38:18,600
The bullfight is
very controversial.
645
00:38:18,774 --> 00:38:22,082
I think the only thing
that everyone can agree on,
646
00:38:22,256 --> 00:38:24,214
is that knowing this animal
647
00:38:25,085 --> 00:38:27,914
demands such a profound
respect for it.
648
00:40:04,271 --> 00:40:06,012
Josiah: I think it's gonna
take time to process.
649
00:40:06,752 --> 00:40:08,318
I don't know
if the average runner
650
00:40:08,493 --> 00:40:10,756
goes into it knowing
the bull's ultimate end,
651
00:40:10,930 --> 00:40:12,888
or even really caring,
and I think it's...
652
00:40:13,062 --> 00:40:14,150
I don't think it's
a perspective
653
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,022
we have in the United States.
654
00:40:16,196 --> 00:40:17,980
We do all of our killing
behind closed doors,
655
00:40:18,241 --> 00:40:20,983
and we also, in that regard,
we don't pay respect for it.
656
00:40:22,071 --> 00:40:24,422
In the United States
we don't like to view that.
657
00:40:29,122 --> 00:40:31,124
Dennis: About a week ago
David and I went to the town
658
00:40:31,298 --> 00:40:34,432
where he first ran, this town
called Elche de la Sierra.
659
00:40:34,780 --> 00:40:37,173
He goes there before
Pamplona a lot of times
660
00:40:37,347 --> 00:40:38,697
to catch up with this guy
661
00:40:38,871 --> 00:40:40,263
who first taught him
how to run.
662
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:41,917
This guy, Carlos Santoro.
663
00:40:43,789 --> 00:40:46,139
David: I always learn
something from Carlos,
664
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,141
that I can share
with other runners.
665
00:40:48,794 --> 00:40:50,926
One thing he said
to me when I visit him,
666
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:54,800
was that each year our
knowledge of the run increases,
667
00:40:54,974 --> 00:40:57,367
but our ability
to perform degrades.
668
00:40:57,672 --> 00:40:59,282
I share this with Dennis,
669
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:01,720
because I know he is going
after a difficult run.
670
00:41:02,285 --> 00:41:03,722
And he may only have
671
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:05,506
a few more opportunities
left to achieve it.
672
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:16,909
Dennis: In those moments
before the bulls get to me,
673
00:41:17,083 --> 00:41:18,737
everything slows.
674
00:41:18,911 --> 00:41:21,435
At eight o'clock when you hear
those church bells,
675
00:41:21,609 --> 00:41:23,481
you know the rocket
is about to sound.
676
00:41:24,569 --> 00:41:27,093
If nothing else,
my experience at Pamplona
677
00:41:27,267 --> 00:41:29,661
has allowed me to
appreciate those moments.
678
00:41:30,444 --> 00:41:31,924
More than running
on the horns itself,
679
00:41:32,098 --> 00:41:35,014
it's standing there,
on the route,
680
00:41:35,188 --> 00:41:37,451
as everyone runs past you.
681
00:41:37,625 --> 00:41:39,061
And I'm standing there,
682
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:41,368
waiting for those bulls.
683
00:41:51,204 --> 00:41:55,861
Josiah: Yeah! Dennis!
684
00:42:27,762 --> 00:42:29,198
Dennis: I finally accomplished
my goal today.
685
00:42:29,372 --> 00:42:31,287
Dude, I saw the sun,
it got me pumped,
686
00:42:31,505 --> 00:42:33,812
because each of the runs
before this, this year,
687
00:42:34,029 --> 00:42:36,162
I haven't seen the sun
coming through Mercaderes.
688
00:42:36,423 --> 00:42:38,164
I came running around
that corner outta Town Hall
689
00:42:38,338 --> 00:42:40,296
on the horns, just screaming
at the top of my lungs.
690
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:41,907
"Run to the sun!"
691
00:42:42,081 --> 00:42:43,996
Josiah:
He just got a perfect run like,
692
00:42:44,257 --> 00:42:46,085
it looked good
and it was a good run,
693
00:42:46,259 --> 00:42:47,956
because he had
the four El Toro Bravos,
694
00:42:48,130 --> 00:42:49,741
just chilling behind him.
695
00:42:49,915 --> 00:42:51,960
And he actually let
the bulls pass him,
696
00:42:52,134 --> 00:42:54,093
and then got on the
other side of the bulls,
697
00:42:54,267 --> 00:42:56,617
and then took the bulls
and led them through La Curva.
698
00:42:56,791 --> 00:42:59,185
And he's the only
person I've heard of,
699
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:00,752
that has actually
taken them through
700
00:43:00,926 --> 00:43:02,536
both sections of the route.
701
00:43:02,797 --> 00:43:04,669
You know, usually they prefer
one section or the other.
702
00:43:04,886 --> 00:43:06,627
Dennis actually took them
through both sections,
703
00:43:06,801 --> 00:43:07,889
which is phenomenal.
704
00:43:08,237 --> 00:43:10,239
It feels so good, man. So good.
705
00:43:10,457 --> 00:43:12,633
Yeah, I ran into Bill today.
706
00:43:12,807 --> 00:43:13,982
He definitely said to me
707
00:43:14,156 --> 00:43:15,549
that Dennis got the best run,
708
00:43:15,767 --> 00:43:17,464
and he was holding it
down for the Americans.
709
00:43:17,638 --> 00:43:19,858
He got the best run
of the Americans so far.
710
00:43:24,123 --> 00:43:25,037
Bill: My run today sucked.
711
00:43:26,212 --> 00:43:27,300
I whiffed completely.
712
00:43:29,215 --> 00:43:30,782
Actually at one point,
713
00:43:30,999 --> 00:43:32,044
if I would have stayed
where I was in the street,
714
00:43:32,218 --> 00:43:33,523
I would have been on the horns,
715
00:43:33,959 --> 00:43:35,569
but instead I tried to cut over
716
00:43:35,743 --> 00:43:37,658
and do some stupid maneuvering
and ended up falling.
717
00:43:37,963 --> 00:43:40,095
It gets so crowded
where he runs,
718
00:43:40,269 --> 00:43:41,967
that it's hard getting
a good run with the bulls,
719
00:43:42,141 --> 00:43:43,621
because there's so many
people around them.
720
00:43:43,882 --> 00:43:44,883
Just a bad morning for me,
721
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:48,277
and I'm ready to go home,
and go back to sleep,
722
00:43:48,451 --> 00:43:49,801
just say "Fuck it."
723
00:43:50,018 --> 00:43:51,454
And start thinking
about tomorrow,
724
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:52,586
and stop thinking
about this morning.
725
00:43:53,195 --> 00:43:54,980
Maybe this isn't for me,
like, maybe,
726
00:43:55,154 --> 00:43:56,677
I should stop doing this.
727
00:43:56,938 --> 00:43:58,679
My wife is really pissed at me
she's really worried.
728
00:43:58,984 --> 00:44:00,550
I'm out here trying my hardest,
729
00:44:00,725 --> 00:44:01,987
but it's not going my way.
730
00:44:02,422 --> 00:44:04,337
Maybe it's not worth it.
731
00:44:04,903 --> 00:44:06,382
Dennis:
He's trying to run in an area
732
00:44:06,556 --> 00:44:08,297
that's really crowded
on the run route.
733
00:44:08,471 --> 00:44:11,300
He's fallen down
multiple times this year.
734
00:44:11,997 --> 00:44:13,389
He's running the same
portion of the route
735
00:44:13,563 --> 00:44:16,088
where the guy died
three years ago.
736
00:44:16,392 --> 00:44:18,264
Got a horn to his neck.
737
00:44:18,525 --> 00:44:21,267
It's the part that I frankly
don't want to run in.
738
00:44:22,094 --> 00:44:25,532
Bill is, every day, really
putting himself out there.
739
00:44:25,706 --> 00:44:27,186
I want to see him
get a good run,
740
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,102
but I really don't want
to see him get hurt.
741
00:44:55,388 --> 00:44:57,912
I've been thinking
a lot about things,
742
00:44:58,086 --> 00:45:00,088
since I fell yesterday
and had a pretty bad run.
743
00:45:00,610 --> 00:45:03,135
And what I'm thinking
is that I...
744
00:45:04,353 --> 00:45:06,529
even though I've been
running aggressively
745
00:45:06,704 --> 00:45:07,966
trying to get those good runs,
746
00:45:08,140 --> 00:45:09,402
and help the herd
up the street...
747
00:45:10,882 --> 00:45:13,188
and there's something
kinda missing this fiesta,
748
00:45:14,581 --> 00:45:17,453
and when I get on the horns,
I think
749
00:45:17,627 --> 00:45:19,629
there's something
subconscious where I'm...
750
00:45:20,326 --> 00:45:22,023
I'm letting myself
drift to the sides,
751
00:45:22,197 --> 00:45:23,546
where I'm being tripped up.
752
00:45:24,417 --> 00:45:25,374
And I think that...
753
00:45:26,462 --> 00:45:28,900
that's just because
I'm scared deep down
754
00:45:29,074 --> 00:45:31,076
underneath all the preparation,
755
00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:33,992
and intensity
that I bring there,
756
00:45:34,296 --> 00:45:36,908
something deep inside me
might be a little scared.
757
00:45:37,212 --> 00:45:38,648
I'm trying to get in touch
with that thing,
758
00:45:38,823 --> 00:45:40,302
and trying to get over it,
759
00:45:41,347 --> 00:45:42,522
this past day or so.
760
00:45:44,916 --> 00:45:47,483
this morning I'm hoping
to run on the horns,
761
00:45:47,657 --> 00:45:50,791
and stay in the
center of the street,
762
00:45:51,705 --> 00:45:53,315
and hopefully
I'll have it this morning,
763
00:45:53,489 --> 00:45:55,230
like I had a few times
last year.
764
00:46:00,540 --> 00:46:02,629
But that's the
interesting thing,
765
00:46:02,803 --> 00:46:05,850
interesting puzzle
that theencierro is.
766
00:46:07,590 --> 00:46:09,592
No matter what's
happening on the street,
767
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:12,378
there's this conflict
that's going on inside,
768
00:46:12,552 --> 00:46:13,466
inside of you.
769
00:46:17,383 --> 00:46:19,428
I think now,
since I had that bad run,
770
00:46:19,602 --> 00:46:21,039
I've been forced to face that
and...
771
00:46:22,736 --> 00:46:24,042
it's been a tough day,
772
00:46:24,216 --> 00:46:28,263
but I think today
I'm gonna go for it.
773
00:46:28,437 --> 00:46:31,353
See what happens,
see if I have it this morning.
774
00:47:15,528 --> 00:47:17,791
Bill: The bull kind of shifted
to be right behind me,
775
00:47:17,965 --> 00:47:19,575
where the bull sorta
swing right in the tunnel,
776
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,621
so in the tunnel I was actually
777
00:47:21,795 --> 00:47:23,753
directly in front of
the face of the bull,
778
00:47:23,928 --> 00:47:26,191
and as I entered the tunnel,
779
00:47:27,018 --> 00:47:28,236
something funny happened,
780
00:47:28,541 --> 00:47:31,065
and my first step in
the sand I tripped,
781
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,764
and I just completely
face planted into the sand.
782
00:47:35,765 --> 00:47:39,030
All of a sudden, a thought
just jumped in my head,
783
00:47:39,204 --> 00:47:41,162
and it was like,
"I love this place."
784
00:47:42,250 --> 00:47:44,644
"I truly love this place."
785
00:49:25,919 --> 00:49:26,876
Bill: I'm tired.
786
00:49:27,703 --> 00:49:28,748
I'm worn out, beat up.
787
00:49:29,531 --> 00:49:31,185
I hit the stone a lot
this year,
788
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,276
and I guess that's the story
of my running this year,
789
00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:37,104
is just getting beat up,
790
00:49:37,278 --> 00:49:39,672
but coming back
and going for it again.
791
00:49:40,586 --> 00:49:42,240
And then going for it,
and getting it,
792
00:49:42,414 --> 00:49:45,199
and then getting beat up again,
hitting the ground.
793
00:49:45,504 --> 00:49:46,766
Guys that run this,
year in and year out,
794
00:49:46,940 --> 00:49:48,724
they get banged up pretty bad.
795
00:49:48,898 --> 00:49:50,204
You get back out there and...
796
00:49:51,336 --> 00:49:52,467
it's just what you do.
797
00:49:53,207 --> 00:49:54,426
It was about midweek.
798
00:49:54,817 --> 00:49:57,081
Josiah all over TV,
799
00:49:57,690 --> 00:49:59,692
I think he was in a lot
of replay slow motion.
800
00:49:59,866 --> 00:50:01,824
He got nudged
out of the way by the bull.
801
00:50:01,999 --> 00:50:03,435
Josiah: There's one thing
about running,
802
00:50:03,609 --> 00:50:05,263
and there's another
thing about running well.
803
00:50:05,437 --> 00:50:07,004
And so that third or fourth run,
804
00:50:07,178 --> 00:50:08,701
I got on the horns,
and it was awesome.
805
00:50:09,615 --> 00:50:11,660
Because it was that thing
that I'm trying to accomplish,
806
00:50:11,834 --> 00:50:13,619
throughout all these runs.
807
00:50:13,793 --> 00:50:14,924
When you get on the run
route and you see the bulls,
808
00:50:15,099 --> 00:50:16,665
and you gotta run from them,
809
00:50:16,839 --> 00:50:20,669
you're acting
out of instinct, physically.
810
00:50:20,887 --> 00:50:22,410
So in that sense, yeah,
811
00:50:22,584 --> 00:50:24,064
after the run
you're appreciating everything
812
00:50:24,238 --> 00:50:26,980
on a very visceral sense,
a very shallow sense,
813
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:31,332
and in retrospect
it's making you appreciate
814
00:50:31,506 --> 00:50:33,987
living in general,
it's making life better.
815
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:37,860
Jo came here with a lot of
heart, and a lot of energy.
816
00:50:38,035 --> 00:50:39,123
We know from that first run
817
00:50:39,297 --> 00:50:41,734
when he completely
took a guy out,
818
00:50:41,908 --> 00:50:43,605
that he had a lot of speed.
819
00:50:43,866 --> 00:50:45,216
Over the course of a few runs,
820
00:50:45,390 --> 00:50:48,219
he finally got that
run on the horns,
821
00:50:48,567 --> 00:50:51,700
that we wanted to see him have,
that he wanted to have.
822
00:50:51,874 --> 00:50:54,355
And so that was
a great success for him.
823
00:50:54,964 --> 00:50:56,749
You know for a first year
runner to pull that off
824
00:50:57,315 --> 00:50:58,185
is pretty incredible.
825
00:50:58,620 --> 00:51:00,492
And it's a testament to Dennis,
826
00:51:00,796 --> 00:51:02,189
Dennis as a teacher,
827
00:51:02,711 --> 00:51:05,584
and Josiah's like
crazy giant balls,
828
00:51:05,888 --> 00:51:07,803
to just get out there
and do his thing.
829
00:51:08,282 --> 00:51:09,675
Dennis: It's always great
just seeing, like,
830
00:51:10,893 --> 00:51:13,200
guys you walk through
the route with, right,
831
00:51:13,374 --> 00:51:15,811
who you give
all the information to,
832
00:51:15,985 --> 00:51:17,596
that you gained over the years,
833
00:51:17,813 --> 00:51:19,380
to see them out there
834
00:51:19,598 --> 00:51:20,816
doing those runs.
835
00:51:21,817 --> 00:51:23,123
Dennis is an educator.
836
00:51:24,690 --> 00:51:27,171
You know, I came just
to run with the bulls.
837
00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:30,304
I didn't come to be
a Spanish runner,
838
00:51:31,131 --> 00:51:32,480
and that's the difference
839
00:51:32,654 --> 00:51:34,874
is Dennis is obviously
working towards
840
00:51:35,048 --> 00:51:36,919
being that Spanish runner.
841
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:39,531
So Dennis was able
to really be that catalyst,
842
00:51:39,705 --> 00:51:42,664
that got me from being
a runner on the route,
843
00:51:42,838 --> 00:51:45,972
to being immerged in San Fermín.
844
00:51:46,755 --> 00:51:47,974
There's a difference in that.
845
00:51:48,192 --> 00:51:49,671
A lot of tourists come here.
846
00:51:50,150 --> 00:51:51,369
This is Pamplona.
847
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,066
Everyone is welcome.
848
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,286
They make the fiesta what it is.
849
00:51:55,460 --> 00:51:58,376
When I see Bill
or Dennis make a nice run,
850
00:51:58,550 --> 00:51:59,594
I feel proud.
851
00:51:59,986 --> 00:52:02,075
I want others
to follow that example.
852
00:52:02,293 --> 00:52:04,904
Dennis was very extremely
consistent this year,
853
00:52:05,339 --> 00:52:07,036
and then he finally
worked his way
854
00:52:07,211 --> 00:52:09,474
all the way down to the curve,
and ran them up the street,
855
00:52:10,257 --> 00:52:11,650
it was just a phenomenal run.
856
00:52:12,216 --> 00:52:13,347
It was the run of the year,
857
00:52:13,521 --> 00:52:14,740
for any foreign runner.
858
00:52:15,175 --> 00:52:16,785
Dennis:
I knew I wanted to run hard.
859
00:52:17,308 --> 00:52:18,787
I really wanted to
go after these runs,
860
00:52:18,961 --> 00:52:21,616
and I wanted to create
a run of my own.
861
00:52:21,790 --> 00:52:24,315
I felt like I had done
what I came here to do,
862
00:52:24,619 --> 00:52:26,273
but I think given
the fact that I had a goal,
863
00:52:26,447 --> 00:52:27,318
I accomplished it,
864
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:30,712
now I'm like,
there's so much more out there,
865
00:52:30,886 --> 00:52:32,149
for me to go after.
866
00:52:38,329 --> 00:52:41,027
The bull sees things
in a very simple way.
867
00:52:41,288 --> 00:52:43,247
It knows if there's something
in its area,
868
00:52:43,421 --> 00:52:44,900
that piques its interest.
869
00:52:45,074 --> 00:52:46,685
This common misperception,
870
00:52:46,859 --> 00:52:48,295
the bull's chasing
after the red of the cape,
871
00:52:48,469 --> 00:52:50,428
it's not, it's chasing
after that movement.
872
00:52:50,689 --> 00:52:52,169
It's something
that interests it.
873
00:52:52,343 --> 00:52:54,127
It's something
that it wants to go after,
874
00:52:54,301 --> 00:52:55,433
and it persists,
875
00:52:55,607 --> 00:52:57,086
true to its nature,
until it dies.
876
00:52:57,261 --> 00:52:59,524
The matador always
keeps that cape
877
00:52:59,959 --> 00:53:01,656
just beyond the bull's reach.
878
00:53:03,615 --> 00:53:05,094
And there are people
that go after
879
00:53:05,269 --> 00:53:06,835
things that are beyond
their reach.
880
00:53:07,488 --> 00:53:09,925
In that experience,
in that quest,
881
00:53:10,709 --> 00:53:13,451
they find value in
their own lives.
882
00:53:15,235 --> 00:53:17,150
That's what I call
"Chasing Red."
