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?

Damian Hall came in off loop 3, but without collecting all his pages and is the last to face the bugler. Fog, cold, and the wet weather were factors. #BM100

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

laz: How’s it going Damian?

Damian Hall: Probably exactly how you want it to be going.

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

These very low-tech watches, issued by the race, are the only watches the runners are allowed to wear. #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.
