Last night a Dead Cow Gully, Phil Gore got a new #backyardultra world record with 119 Loops.
Sam Harvey with the 118 Loop assist.

#ultrarunning
On waking up this morning I find the answer to my question, in the case of Sam Harvey anyway, was ‘probably not’.
Yeah, but are they having fun?

Almost new world record time in Australia…

#ultrarunning #backyardultra
Sam Harvey and Phil Gore are into loop 108, on night FIVE of #DeadCowGully #BackyardUltra

The record is 116 loops.

I feel tired this morning because I unconsciously pulled the blanket off my fiancée a couple of times in the night and she had to wake me up to get it back 🤣

I’ve had a full night’s sleep since the last post. 2 still standing on loop 106 at #DeadCowGully

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

May the cool sound reach you as well.
It’s been a really, really, really good evening 🤩
Anna Troup wins the Montane Summer Spine Race 2025

Anna Troup won this race in 2021 and 2022.
Her course record has stood unchallenged since 2022.
She has now returned 3 years later and once again won the women’s race, and this time as the first runner over the line…

If ever you need to have your faith in humans restored, come to the @spinerace.bsky.social

Run it, volunteer at it, hand out flapjacks on the course. Whatever you put into the #SpineRace you get back in buckets ❤️

As the runners in the Montane Summer Spine Challenger North and MRT Challenge North start their journey toward Kirk Yetholm and glory, here’s your Monday morning update from @willbaldlygo.bsky.social

Part 1…
#SpineRace #SummerSpine
My usual pre #spinerace digs are set up, my spreadsheets have been wrestled into cooperation and my camera batteries are charging.
1 sleep until #summerspine 2025 🎉
Me every time I walk into a room for the next 10 days…

It’s nearly Summer #SpineRace time!

I’m ADHD with autistic traits if that counts?
I mainly use it for task initiation and to turn audio files of me explaining my ideas into editable text. Sometimes I use it to critique my written work and suggest changes - which is productive and occasionally humbling.
I’ve been a bit accidentally ageist haven’t I 🤣
The ducks welcome all people equally!
If you find yourself still struggling later on just let me know

I’ve got about 40s of another duck having a good old preen and a big old stretch and it’s powerful stuff 🦆
For anyone else wishing the May bank holiday was a week longer, here is a delightful family of ducks to soothe you.

The UK is the 5th biggest #trailrunning market in the world. Yet financial support for British runners is being cut* and race organisers could be set to watch UTMB bring UK races to our screens, whilst presumably hoovering up a sizeable chunk of the revenue that comes with it…
