Skurka takes geek to a new level with his analysis of the TNF field. Awesome!

Ian’s year in review. Pretty Euro-centric, and no mention of Lake Sonoma?

Tour de France might have GoPros on bikes this year.  Any interest in watching MUT elites with cameras? Maybe for a 50k?

Ah, when a mountain runner like Gretchen hits the pavement for 26.2 miles, it hurts to read the report. “You know it’s bad when you look down at your watch to see how far you have to go and realize you haven’t even gone a tenth of a mile since the last time you looked.”

Jeff’s got a great recap of TNF with some video caps that show each aid station. (I was with Jeff, Billy, and Chris all day and had a blast.)

Gift idea: The ultimate hipster, bearded ultrarunner, beer drinker multi-tool.

Pretty funny running dialogue about meeting a stranger for a trail run.
