Taking all my Barkley Marathons energy and shoving it into March Madness
So much respect for everyone who competed this year. This would be top five worst thing to ever happen to me and they take it all in stride. #BM100
Tough out for Max King. In case you hadn’t seen elsewhere. #bm100

Omg why are they reviewing that play #marchmadness

McNeese don’t let me down now! #MarchMadness #mcneese

If your bracket busts it’s because you don’t know ball. If my bracket busts it’s because I chose belief over cynicism, and I’d do it all over again because that’s the only world worth fighting for.

12 seed McNeese State is having their way with Clemson and lead by 15 early! 👀

I have McNeese going to my elite 8 so I'm going to keep muttering “I see a Cinderella run in the works” throughout the office today until I am sent home #marchmadness

To pivot to the Men’s March Madness for a second, I have Creighton winning the whole thing, so I am either going to be remembered as College Basketball’s Nostrodaumus or my bracket will bust immediately. #marchmadness

Every single part of this years race was perfect — no notes #BM100
John Kelly, who is credited with a Fun Run, tapped himself out, after which Sébastien Raichon was tapped out. Tomokazu Ihara is still on the course after 40 hours. #BM100

Someone explain to my partner why I need to stay up till 4am just in the hopes that someone has completed the Fun Run. I really think they’ll do it! #BM100

Pretty sure Laz would disagree #BM100
There will be no winner at this year’s Barkley Marathons. #bm100
We are 36 hours into the race, meaning the three runners still on Loop 3 cannot continue to Loop 4. However, if they complete Loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. That’s where the real race is now. #BM100

This update feels like the first few sentences of a Brontë novel and I’m so here for it #BM100
It’s dark out here. And windy. #BM100

The amount of hope coursing through my body right now is approaching unsafe levels #BM100
Tomo and John have passed the Fire Tower; John about 30 minutes behind Tomo. #BM100

It feels like there’s a certain kind of magic in the air for the ones that have made it this far. Anything seems possible at this point! #BM100
Theoretically, if Tomo or John could repeat their loop 1 performances (probably, at best guess of which loop 1 times were theirs) on loop three, they could still make it out onto loop 4.

It would be an unheard of, legendary performance. Songs would be sung, legends would be woven, etc.

#bm100
Loop 1 cutoff is 13:20
Loop 2 cutoff is 26:40
Loop 3 cutoff is 40:00 for the fun run or 36:00 if you want to continue
Loop 4 cutoff is 48:00
Loop 5 cutoff is 60:00

So the cutoffs change pace halfway through, but there is only one cutoff per loop except the third

Obsessed with the joy Laz is radiating in these knowing all his absolutely insane efforts paid off this year #BM100
Beginning Loop 3. #BM100

John Kelly and Tomo are household names at this point #BM100
My partner is also in the lurch — it has mostly been me shouting more and more aggressive statistical improbabilities across the room as we both work at home.
Can somebody please help me explain to my partner why it’s so exciting that the #bm100 is wreaking absolute havock, or am I just getting caught up in things?

I love that experiencing this or showing up in the back of a cop car after talking to a trash can have equal chances of happening and are both equally revered #BM100
What I really love is his appreciation of moments of beauty even while his plans disintegrate:

‘The rest of the night I stayed awake. I watched the thin sliver of the new moon, bright Jupiter, Orion with red Betelgeuse all parade across the sky to the west and waited for dawn to arrive.’

WE LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY #BM100
The fear has set in that it will all be over by tomorrow morning and I’ll have to have a productive work day instead #BM100
