Ultramarathon Runner Attacked by Coyote

An ultra-marathoner was attacked by a coyote while out on a 150-mile trail run. The incident happened on a popular trail in Marin county, California. Dean Karnazes heard some footsteps coming behind him. When he swung around, a coyote attacked him from behind. Karnazes was able to fight off the coyote using his ultra-marathon poles.
