Around 20% of my work year is on an event called the Spine Race. It's brought me into the most wonderful community of endurance runners. I lead their checkpoint department & place c.150 people from Derbyshire to Scotland each January, to look after 500+ athletes
Anyone know the race?

for @drlygo.bsky.social and anyone else who is curious- #bm100 "royalty tree", as it were! This does NOT currently include the potential for finishers this year, but that also seems...unlikely, so far. If I am proven wrong, however, I'll add to this!

I’m going with the new yellow gate position as the reason for Damo being barefoot on setting off

The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

The hound after our walk this afternoon. I gave him a warm bath and still he’s staring at me with a betrayed look!

Enough for today now. Almost at the point where I can consider the winter Spine signed off. Feedback collated and sent out. Post-race report written. Just a few kit jobs to do and a management meeting to attend!
But for now, it’s time to relax
Enjoy the rest of the weekend peeps 🥰
