@aidstationfireb @AngelesCrest100 Completely agree with trying. (Knew you’d finished, congrats). My point was that it wouldn’t be an improvement of *that* CR…

@aidstationfireb …and he called his shot; ballsier than Babe Ruth, considering it was his debut!

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

Wait.  What?

Since when is it the "Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run by UTMB???"

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb …would like to add, I’m a fan of calling it “Wrightwoof” :)

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb Yes - there’s street parking in the neighborhood near the finish.

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@Kellblog It’s my fault. I almost-always ask for a late checkout.

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@TheOfficialSan6 Gotcha, no complaints on that aspect ;)

Compare & contrast? Overall ascent?

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@RndmForestRunnr @MattSimeone12 @wser No more. VT and LT used to, but stopped. You have to get pulled in 3 lotteries. WF will let you start if you’ve completed 3, even if you didn’t get pulled in the WF lottery. OD is first-come, first-served.

@aidstationfireb Novel? I’d bet War And Peace is far more effective than A Catcher In The Rye…

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb Couldn't help but dig in. Here is the 2000--> % of finishers in the Golden Hour.

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb This was so fun, appreciate the effort & creativity.

It’d be interesting to see a comparison of the % of the field in the Golden Hour across the years?

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb @ajoneswilkins So, in the middle of a race scores *by cumulative team time* (not place), each runner is expected to unscrew a bottle on their own, pour into a cup, presumably screw or back on before continuing? Ummmm…

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@iRunFar @MelansonFinn @aidstationfireb The French beat the US men by 5min - cumulative over 3 people & 10hrs each!!!

That’s 5min out of 30hrs total, or 1/360 = 0.2%!!!!
(2/10 of a percent)

@Dom_Grossman …thought you were talking about AC100 for a sec there ;)

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@aidstationfireb @nienkeebrinkman @uponward @PeteKostelnick @mikewardian And CJ Albertson…

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@thuveners @aidstationfireb @MelansonFinn For reach & revenue.

[Mark Nassi @MarkNassi]

@MelansonFinn Wouldn’t it be similar to the choices most non-elite/pro/paid runners made through the 90s-00s? Vote with your $ and feet & go to the races that strike your fancy, whether due to course, location, competition…
