big dog’s backyard ultra 30 hours:

final standings in the small countries division:
guatemala: 258
uruguay:(-13)
namibia (-19)

in the mid-size division nederland seems determined to eliminate the drama.
still with a division leading 12 athletes,
they now have 422 cumulative yards.
iceland (-8) has been reduced to 10
and slovakia (-12) is all the way down to 8

it is norway (-20) trying to crawl back into contention with 11 runners.

but right now the dutch control their own destiny.
and they seem determined that destiny is to win the mid-size division….

i guess they dont care that we would enjoy a little excitement!


general cool info:
more golden tickets:
brian pasmore for paraguay
zikica ivanovski for north macedonia
ned phillips for singapore
andre ross for namibia
julian esteban villegas gonzalez for colombia
marius kouakou for cote d’ivorie
jason williams for bermuda

malta ended up with no winner

and last, but not least.
481 athletes ended up reaching the landmark of 24 yards.
481 people ran 100 miles in under 24 hours
in the same event
during the same 24 hours.
i dont think anything remotely close to that has ever been done before.
