Jewbacca Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 23 and a half hours, goggins and another chap have covered 110 miles. 10 miles ahead of third place. Pretty good pace knowing theyre not half way yet.It is... I think last year the winner of the 100 miler was 20 hours plus change but like 3rd was around 23 hours.... Sjoe. I wonder what the race strategy is re sleep or time off the feet. That will slow things down on the 2nd night

I wonder what the race strategy is re sleep or time off the feet. That will slow things down on the 2nd nightI imagine it'll be difficult to race your own strategy rather than the guy next to you. The sleep demons will be rubbing their hands together

I hope they don't push each other on and on and on and on and then get overhauled 20km from the line by guys who slept and aren't full Simple Jack Lexx and Chris_ 2
Chris_ Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 48 hours 200 miles up for Michele Graglia. Goggins 10 miles behind, third place a further 20 miles back. The leader is almost 100 miles ahead of last place.

You're ok, most of the world probably can't run 12kms. Its nice now you have a better appreciation on how superhuman the worlds best are in a new discipline. On that, Graglia finished first, 61 hours, Goggins second 2 hours after. Clock on 66 hours now. Third place is 17 miles from home. First lady in 7th overall about to tick over 200. Goggins started knocking out pushups after finishing shouting seal stuff about logs, carrying the boat, and obviously... stay hard. He's quite unique. ChrisF and Vetplant 2

After following this I am really looking forward to tackling SA's very own 230 miler in 2021!!! Get in there fellas! Chris_ and Duane_Bosch 2

I do enjoy the fact that he's not some poser twerp like Dan Balls-erian and lives his mottos. Do something that sucks every day! Jewbacca and Chris_ 2

I hate that I enjoy following these races, it gets the mind thinking about things that I have utterly no place being! hahaha Andrew Steer, Duane_Bosch and Jewbacca 3

I hate that I enjoy following these races, it gets the mind thinking about things that I have utterly no place being! hahahahahaha none of us have any place on the start line of something like this... until you find yourself there questioning your decisions! I am chomping hard. I have to be so careful not to get over eager and burn out my enthusiasm and my body. I started getting way too involved about a month ago so am on a forced go slow until November. Amazing how invested one gets in something so trivial! Duane_Bosch and Chris_ 2
Duane_Bosch Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Amazing how invested one gets in something so trivial!My other half called me obsessed for the 2nd time in our relationship yesterday. The first time was when I was obsessing about the #enduro at jonkers. Lucky for me she didn't realize just how obsessed I ACTUALLY was. IMO it's great to be focused on these "trivial" things. Way better than focusing on the super 15 (or whatever the number is now) points board. EddieV and Jewbacca 2

Duane_Bosch Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (Is that a rugby reference?) Hahaha. Yes. My other analogy was about white powder and other such unpleasantries. The rugby one is more PC. Jewbacca 1

Way better than focusing on the super 15 (or whatever the number is now) points board. I've been obsessed with ultra running including "The Barkley Marathons" ( ) for 4 or 5 years now. Anything that pushes the human limits .... love this stuff !!! .. think I've watched every single video on the Barkley ... ... and anything else that includes the "ultra" in the title .....

Duane_Bosch Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 No don't get me into that! I've been obsessively watching wood splitting videos for the last 2 weeks after having successfully broken my addiction to RC rock crawling vids. ChrisF and EddieV 2
