big dog’s backyard ultra hour 44:
.
at this point iceland’s pursuit of netherlands has become the most captivating contest going on.
the margin is now 6 yards.
on and on they go,
5 icelanders pursuing 3 dutch.
.
it must be frustrating for the dutch.
all they can do is keep answering the bell
lose 2 yards every hour
and hope one of the icelanders will drop.
.
for the icelanders it must be like shooting fish in a barrel.
just keep answering the bell
and every hour move 2 yards closer.
.
from 6 yards they can probably smell the dutch.
(i wonder what they smell like… maybe like oranges?)
.
the other contest is completely different.
belgium against the world.
what did they do to their team?
will none of them ever quit?
.
you dont suppose they are holding the team against their will, do you?
if i watch the livestream,
will belgian runners be holding up signs that say;
“please help; send the police”
.
the new zealand, us, and australian teams are doing all we can.
but we are watching belgium move away at 2 yards an hour.
and nothing cn stop it,
unless someone sends the police to free the runners who want to quit!
