big dog’s backyard ultra hour 32 begins:
and i was all prepared to return to the laptop and start this update with:
and then there were 5….
but that didnt happen,
oh, we did lose one here in the US
and now we are running with 14.
but canada and australia joined us.
now it is new zealand, belgium, and hungary who control their own fate.
those are the last 3 teams with a full complement of 15 starting the 32nd lap.
no one can catch them if they dont want to be caught!
but that, my friends, is easier said than done.
speaking of which,
it looks like netherlands ( is well on the way to pulling that off in the mid-size division.
they did drop a runner,
but their 11 man team is still more than anyone else.
and so they continue to pull away.
iceland is still second
but it looks like norway will catch slovakia this hour,
and move into a tie for third.
i cant give much more detail than that right now.
