So they have jerks who move trail markers in Africa, too? Kevin Chen gets lost during 250k stage race across the Kalahari.


Endurance swimmer sums it up right: “My philosophy is, you have to have the right screw loose to be a good endurance athlete.  You look at the best ones, they’re crazy.”


Karl is talking about putting on a big $ hundo at Snowbird. 


Tim Englund wins Laz's crazy Backyard Ultra.  Zach Gingerich wins Des Plaines 50M with a 5:37 and Wardian takes USATF Champs Tussey Mountain 50Mwith a new CR 5:33.  Frank Bozanich, 67, turns in an 8:32.  Also, Seth Wold sets a new CR at Pony Express with a 7:17. 


List: "7 races to get you started in ultrarunning." Two of them are hundreds?


Blind HS XC runner runs with a guide dog. Not too long until I see that at an ultra, I'd imagine...
