@TSchlarp @davidmellyruns Bummer. Thanks for the update.

@AlexMcDaniel00 @davidmellyruns Knee injury. DNS

A full-time ER doc just shattered the women’s world record in the 50-mile by 12 minutes sheeeeeeeesh

@McKirdyTrained @JRNHeadlines they apparently also had drinks handed off by bike

@JRNHeadlines But... It's a shoe that isn't legal... so it won't really count?

It's the 4-min mile of 100 km.

@Talkultra And the legendary Ann Trason record broken by new comer Anne Flower in her 100 mile debut, came 2nd overall

The unbreakable Leadville record, that was broken last year… Has been broken AGAIN - take a bow @MountainRoche 15:12:30 🤯

@aidstationfireb Ah! Sneaky S! But still looks like her 100 mile debut and only 1 100k. Love that she’s taking a big swing!

@AlexMcDaniel00 ultrasignup.com/results_partic… I mistyped - last name is “Flower”, not Flowers

LEADVILLE RECORD WATCH: With 24-miles to go, Anne Flowers (Colorado Springs) is tracking to finish under 18 hours at the @LTRaceSeries 100 Run. She’s averaging a 10:40min/mi pace through Outward Bound. During Ann Trason’s 1994 record race, she averaged 10:51min/mi pace overall.

@JWLevitt That’s a line from Austin Powers right?

Cafe owner: “there are only two things I can’t stand. People who are intolerant of other people’s culture, and the Dutch.” 😂

@d9monti Happy Anniversary! 25 laps makes it a 10k

Personal News: @JaneMonti1 and I are married 25 years today. Right after our honeymoon, a self-supported bicycle trip in British Columbia (love Canada!), I went to #Sydney2000 to work for @NBCOlympics. "Leaving already?" said Jane. Happy Anniversary babe 💘

@amazingmap This may have been because the Sacramento and American Rivers (and many others) flooded almost every year, turning the Central Valley into an “inland sea” periodically. Sacramento flooded MANY times before levees and dams were built

Early maps incorrectly depicted modern-day California as an island. This example, from around 1650, is by Johannes Vingboons.

@UltraRunnerPod Strong CV! Rooting for a math guy

Cool to see David Ayala in the top ten at #HR100. He holds the distinction of being the *smartest* athlete I ever interviewed. Smart like Good Will Hunting smart. He’s also a hell of a runner and a really nice guy. Check out his CV: math.montana.edu/dayala/documen…

@d9monti See this data is the first time I’ve more seriously entertained the thought that the extra 109 DOES make a difference. Such a common joke, but at the razor’s edge that extra 7% distance seems to matter

@PatrickDobson They ran another 109m after splitting these times, of course…

I'm starting to wonder if the podium at Paris was a one-off. These times are great for 2019, but totally pedestrian in a post-Paris world. Right now the only person I believe could repeat his Paris performance is Jakob.

@CitiusMag That’s gotta be the slowest last lap to a) run that fast a time and b) win a DL. That must have hurt SO MUCH 😂 glad he held on though, that’s guts. That’s like TDF breakaway just barely succeeding

Talk about leaving it all on the track 😰 Yomif Kejelcha 🇪🇹 gives it his all and then some in the #ParisDL 5000m, breaking away from the field at halfway but struggling mightily in the last two laps, running 12:47.84 closing in 65 seconds and holding off a hard-charging Birhanu Balew 🇧🇭 in 12:48.67. Graham Blanks 🇺🇸 takes top American honors this time in 12:49.51, his second sub-12:50 in eight days, as Nico Young 🇺🇸 fades to seventh in 12:55.71. Behind Blanks, Jimmy Gressier 🇫🇷 sets a national record of 12:51.59.

@UltraRunnerPod 6th grade girl ran 4:55 for a grade level national record. 9th grade girl ran 4:35

A seventh grade boy just ran a 4:27 mile at the @hoka Festival of Miles. JFC.

@runcamille -the last 1/3 of the course is harder, steeper, per mile. -it could be 80 clear and breezy or it could be 88 with on and off thunderstorms and stifling humidity -it “should” be an “easy” race but some years there’s a 30-40% DNF rate. -almost zero cell reception all weekend

@AlexMcDaniel00 Finally doing it, and thank you for the reminder about the humidity and preparing for it 😅🙌!

Lift heavy things, eat tacos 😄💪🌮! I decided not to go to Japan for the 6-day race—it’s a massive trip/endeavor! I’m enjoying being at home 🏠🌵⛰️, lifting🏋️‍♀️, rebuilding my volume 🧱, and doing the basics. I’ve pivoted to another race in June & the @VT100MiRace in July 🙌🎉!

@ThePapaLinks We would love to have you come out. Good people and fun challenges. There are a couple of great fast flat races like Tunnel Hill (pure dirt tow path) and Javalina (smooth desert trails, but heat). My 2 cents is “go run a trail 50k with a slower friend, don’t compete, just enjoy”

I’m gonna run an ultra marathon just for the belt buckle.

@McKirdyTrained I keep a list of weird reasons an American or WR doesn’t count: lack of testing, missing curb on the track, mixed nationality relay etc. But this is a new one. At least it wasn’t like Mondo or Lagat where he sets BOTH country NR

For those confused... heck even I was... Hicks is the USATF 10 mile champion 45:14, but because he's in processing for the allegiance switch, he can't set an American Record. Maier... second... breaks the record at 45:15. Mantz is now 3rd All-time American at 10 mile - 45:16

@JWLevitt sorts of Yes. There’s a article or TED talk about this somewhere. The valuation on their points / CC / miles program is STAGGERING

Are airlines just credit card companies that happen to fly planes?

@zagbagtx @aidstationfireb @AravaipaRunning Ida was the NCAA champion at both 3k steeple chase and 5k I believe and set Swedish National records, so she was a college speedster

@aidstationfireb @courtdauwalter @AravaipaRunning Probably correct but, at least at 50k some college speedster could stumble into a new record on a good day. Maybe?

.@courtdauwalter sets a new course record at the historic Crown King Scramble 50k, with a time of 4:19:49, bettering Ida Nilsson's previous mark of 4:26:44 set in 2019. @AravaipaRunning This one is going to stand for a LONG TIME.

@d9monti I think he’s actually still 15! Born April 12th according to his Wikipedia. Wild!

On the final day of the New Zealand T&F Championships in Dunedin, Sam Tanner and 16 year-old Sam Ruthe were declared co-winners of the men's 1500m, both clocking 3:44.31.
