big dog’s backyard ultra hour 55:

right now the biggest challenge facing team manager is keeping the runners on the course.
the number of runners seems to change every hour.

right now,
at this moment
belgium, usa, and australia all have 11 running.
japan has 10.
it is only 81 yards from belgium to japan.
if any team could retain its runners
that team would win,

iceland finally sealed its win in the mid-size division
when one of the netherland runners dropped.
the only remaining runner

iceland, with its 4 runners keeps creeping up through the field.
who knows;
if they could retain them its no tellng how far they could go!
