    No distances posted, but the video is great. Wow, everybody is moving at a pretty good clip for a 24-hour race. You can even identify most of our favorites as they pass the camera. Nice big names on the bibs.

      Holy smokes, the pace out there is insane for a 24 hr.  I wonder if Ian is gunning for the 100M record (12:27:00):

                    Jon Olsen just took the lead as Ian Sharman steps off the track with leg issues.

                     

                    Seems like something is up with Chris as well.

                        Olsen just ran the 2nd-fastest track 100M by an American ever. He's done. He was chasing the record of 12:27:00.7, set in 1984 by Bernd Hienrich.

                         

                        DB and WG are still kicking ass and moving up.

                         

                        I continue to be amazed at Pam's distance. What is she thinking? This is going to be monstrous if she doesn't blow up. She was ahead of my 12-hr PR at 10 hours.

                         


                        Uh oh... now what?

                          Sorry to be picky, but names matter.  Heinrich, not Hienrich.

                           

                          Bernd Heinrich -- "Why We Run: A natural History" should be

                          required reading for all doing ultramarathons.  After that comes

                          the books about ravens and fireweed and stuff.

                            Oops. My bad, but I claim copy/paste from Aravaipa Racing's FB page.

                             

                            Yes, required reading.

                              Another one done:

                               

                              Mike Arnstein finishes 100 miles in a blazing 12:57:45!!

                              He'll take his place in the top 10 Americans of all-time for 100 miles.

                              He's gladly made friends with the ground, panting, yelling, and celebrating in extreme pain and extreme joy.

                               

                               

                              ------------in my depths of inanity---somewhere in my mind is a memory

                              of a 6:27ish 50 miler... surely I could just do another one with three

                              minutes of relaxing along the way, right?  I simply cannot put this

                              into a mental perspective.

                               

                              Two outstanding performances at fall creeps towards winter.

                               

                              Wowzes!

                                5 Pam Smith 86.49

                                 

                                DB and WG are still kicking ass and moving up.

                                 

                                I continue to be amazed at Pam's distance. What is she thinking? This is going to be monstrous if she doesn't blow up. She was ahead of my 12-hr PR at 10 hours.

                                 

                                They haven't updated lately, but Pam would be tantalizingly close to breaking Ann Trason's record for 100 miles (14:29.44).  There are some amazing performances going on out there.
