Eugine has left the Spine, Back to the Future Hair is set for a win. I would have been happy with either of them winning, but I have to admit the Barkley fan in me was gunning for Sebastien throughout, so I'm quietly thrilled.

Absolutely disgusting that this happened, but massive kudos to the @spinerace.bsky.social team for handling it supportively.

The article contains a link to her fundraising page, which I will also link in the comments.

As well as being a phenomenal set of races, the Spine showcases some of the best British place names - first place is approaching Brownsleazes and Shitlington Hall, whilst second place is just passing through Slaggyford.
Forgive me, I am a child.

Jack Scott demolishes one of the toughest Challenger South races we’ve seen to date. He was cold and battled the worst conditions he’s seen on a race.

Outstanding win Jack 🙌🏻

Dusting off this account to help me get hyped for @spinerace.bsky.social next weekend
Hoped to volunteer this time but life was a pesky bugger so it's either dot watching or camping out in Edale for the start but either way I'm hoping to share some of that hype on here 🥳❄️

WORLD RECORD: Phil Gore and Sam Harvey have completed 117 yards - loops - hours. That's 483 miles!! #backyardultra #lazbook #ultrarunning 📷 Harvey Lewis

I'm not saying people should neglect their preexisting obligations for the day, but now would be a great time to tune into the #deadcowgully livestream. 2 runners on Yard 115, current world record stands at 116 Yards.

Following #deadcowgully whilst struggling through the tedious physical rehab of fixing my body so I can build up the miles to break it again.

Sisyphus has got nothing on the world of endurance sports.
Here's to at least another 6.7km before the boulders stop rolling 💪🦵

My finger is hovering over the registration button for the Berlin Inlineskating Marathon

I'm a fast quad skater but a 2:10 cut off time is 17 minutes below my pb. Doable if I join the dark side and train with speed skates, though inlines aren't my thing.

Argh decisions!

Therapist: "You seem to be doing better this week, did you manage to sort your sleep schedule out?"
Me: "No, I actually stayed awake for 40 hours straight to follow an ultramarathon and it was great"
Therapist: "Anyone else and I'd have questions, but that makes sense"

Congratulations to the @barkleycourse.bsky.social and of course @ratjaw.bsky.social, really great work from you both this year #BM100
The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Just checking: by my tally there are 6 runners out there, 4 on Loop 3 and 2 who are still MIA from Loop 1?! I struggle with numbers at the best of times, someone enlighten me please!

32 hours is the record for longest time lost, might we at least be seeing one Course Record this year?! #BM100
March 19, 2025 at 6:54 PM
10 minutes left until only a fun run is up for grabs 😬
In the absence of mass successes and rooting for Small European Woman this might be the most nail biting moment so far this year #BM100

A friend messaged me to ask "Who won that race you were watching?"

Ahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahaha

So naïve

• Notoriously difficult to get into
• Shrouded in mystery and urban legend
• Posers not welcome
• Goes on significantly longer than many people are prepared for

Any more fun parallels between Berghain and #BM100 ?!

Oh you though #BM100 stood for the Barkley Marathons?

No no, this is the Barkley Massacre

The fear has set in that it will all be over by tomorrow morning and I’ll have to have a productive work day instead #BM100

Hot take: John Kelly and John Kelly alone should have to do 6 laps. He enjoys the #BM100 too much for my liking 😅

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

So in GMT that's

L1 19.03 04:57
L2 19.03 18:57
L3 20.03 03:37
FR 20.03 07:37
L4 20.03 15:37
L5 21.03 03:37

I think? Time zones. Gah! #BM100
update; no, in fact, I cannot do math #bm100

loop 1 cutoff = Mar 19 12:57 am / 00:57
loop 2 cutoff = Mar 19 2:17 pm / 14:17
loop 3 cutoff = Mar 19 11:37 pm / 23:37
fun run cutoff = Mar 20 3:37 am / 03:37
loop 4 cutoff = Mar 20 11:37 am / 11:37
loop 5 cutoff = Mar 20 11:37 pm / 23:37

Tuesday. Checks phone. Nothing.
Maybe we got the week wrong
Maybe it's already finished and they're laughing at us
Maybe this whole thing has been an extended hallucination
Maybe *I'm* running it and I'm so tired I forgot
Maybe this year's race is an elaborate hoax
Maybe there was never a #BM100

Trying to distract myself with the Spelling Bee. Not working. #BM100

I'm getting into the #BM100 hype enough I'm analysing strava logs to see who's on their taper.
John Kelly's recent runs are way longer than his taper runs in previous years. Not saying he's not in, but I wouldn't be doing 19 miles just before the big one (she says knowing she couldn't if she tried)
