Edel Monaghan is in one of the teams. She only beat me by 6 mins in an IMRA race a couple of weeks ago :laughing:

Typical @Mac

Did you see the photo of his feet afterwards? :nauseated_face:

Havenā€™t seen it yet, say theyā€™re in the absolute bits!

This fella is going to struggle to get this done. Iā€™d say he hasnā€™t enough bog roll to keep going heā€™s shitting so often

Iā€™ve been following this lad on Twitter and Instagram. Maniac.

Hard to see it ending well. Iā€™d love to know how long itā€™s taking him each day, how far heā€™s gone how far he has left etc

Heā€™d to stop last week as heā€™d blood in his urine for four days solid. He ran through a vomiting bug. Heā€™s got vlog on YouTube that he puts up. Iā€™ve not watched it but he may put the stats up on that.

Itā€™s a Twitter thing. I had a first effort at fixing it earlier but didnā€™t work. Shall try again but might just be waiting for Twitter to fix stuff on their end.

Ray Oā€™Connor finished Badwater in just under 39 hours 20 minutes

A chap Iā€™ve met on the trails a few times up here (heā€™d be faster going up the hills than me going down) was racing an ultra at the weekend in England.

He was in second place 98.5km into a 100km race. Next thing he woke up in an ambulance. By all accounts heā€™d pushed himself to the absolute limits and completely collapsed and had to spend a few days in hospital. Yikes.
