Weirdos all.

Truly amazing indeed. I have a few friends who are into the ultra marathons and that is crazy enough. I guess as long as you keep feeding the beast it will perform.

Really? I call BS on this one. I know two guys who have done 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, and that was already hard.

Not only is running the Wasatch 100 under 23hrs amazing, but the article says he only rode 100 miles leading up to Lotoja. That’s 100 miles total with the longest ride being 15 miles. Still finished in a respectable 12hrs.

You obviously have to sleep while traveling, and I suppose you'd be so exhausted it wouldn't be hard to do that, but after a week or so I bet the athlete was still close to hallucinating. |

For me, in order for these "events" to be appealing there has to be an aesthetic, and simplicity is part of it. self support is part of that. So for example RAAM has less of an appeal than Trans Am or Tour Divide. I will say that I am impressed with what this guy did. Would increase the aesthetic factor if he rode to the bike race. Also, he apparently finished fresh as a daisy, rather than completely destroying himself. |

The Iron Cowboy is a POS. Who loses their job and then instead of getting another one, moves his family into a parent's house and puts them on welfare so he can pursue fame by doing Ironmans. Not to mention the sketchy charity he was running at the time. |

I bumped into a friend of mine during a Marine Corps Marathon..he was using this race as 'training' for an ultra he was doing in 2 weeks..I saw his back for about 2 minutes..then away he went...
