    This is pretty awesome, saw it linked from @Kelly O'Mara 's If We Were Riding newsletter - the BM 2016 participants' before-and-after photo gallery.

    Some of them looked pretty weathered before they ever started, but others... you can really tell they got fucked up out there.

    This is the EMJ guy that finished last year after 3 loops in 2015. Really not certain if he started lap 4 that year but gives you an idea of how tough it is at only 60% finished. Fun reading social media of everyone saying they’d like to try it. 100 miles is hard, there it looks impossible. Nevermind the fact I couldn’t find my way out of a wet paper bag with a compass in hand.

    EDITED to add: found his blog and he didn’t start the 4th lap that year.

    One thing about those pictures that I really like, is how many of the runner with modest goals achieved them. The people who were all "I'mma probably do one loop." and they do it. I love realistic expectations.

    Awesome to see this thread on here. I've been following the race the last couple years. There is a new documentary out this year following Gary in 2016 and 2017. It is really good!

    I bought the documentary, but looks like it is coming to YouTube in May. https://wheredreamsgotodie.com/

    That and the weather yesterday sounded terrible.

    I think it's down to one who is not officially tapped out after lap 3 this year, and there is almost no chance of him making lap 4. (Would require almost a record time.) Brutal.

    And it's over. Laz wins.

    Yeah it was funny, in a sadistic way, to see people there saying this could be the year 3+ people finish on day 1 when it was 70+ and sunny. Then night happened and they started dropping like flies
