In between WSER/Lavaredo and this weekends Hardrock there was also Badwater135 this week.

Ironically Norwegian Simen Holvik won this year while the temps reached 50C… found him on YouTube and his Infrared cube sauna for heat training.

But the most amazing performance is by Bob Becker. Finishing in 45h at age 80. Oldest finisher now.

And Danny Weestergaard is only 2 finishes away from reaching the 20 finishes that Marshall Ulrich has.

Their results database is top notch…

Too many emotions to process, but I did a 50 miler. Hellz Bellz in Yacolt, WA.
The wildflowers were absolutely poppin’

I had bronchitis February and ran a 50K with a deep cough. I strained my psoas. I ran enough after to get a stress reaction in my iliac. The groin pain was mild but anything over 3 hours and it would shut me down. Yesterday I ran 3 hours pain free. My wife and I are entered in the Oregon 200, so in 8 weeks I’m going to try to roll from 3 hours to 200 miles relying heavily on experience and a decade of high mileage….I do not recommend this

Massive dinner last night then 11 hours solid sleep. Breakfast, then to a cafe for second breakfast and straight out for a short walk and “early lunch” before imminent main lunch. Planning an ice cream this afternoon and then the pub for early dinner. Had a mooch around Robin Hoods Bay and the beach then nearly fell asleep just stood in a bookshop. Afternoon nap required#runger #ultramarathon

More details to follow after a bath, a sleep and catching up with my family but I successfully finished #NorthernTraverse a short time ago with a group of friends. I could have probably shaved a little time if I had run today instead of sticking with the group, but we also only got there by working with each other so a group finish was perfect #ultramarathon #trailrunning

Our five hero's arrived !!! Fantastic run ! Well done

Looks like @officehippy has huddle up with 4-5 others to bring it home. They either have to speed it up or take it easy as I have to work and therefore can't do any #DotWatching

Awesomesause to everyone!

Back on the trail for another freezing night at 01:45 out of Richmond after my first sleep since Friday night. Just hiking it in now for the last 60 miles. Planning food and a couple of hours rest at the last overnight support point before hiking on towards the coast. In good shape and plenty of time to beat the cutoff tomorrow#ultramarathon #NorthernTraverse

Yesterday was brutal. Bitterly cold start before dawn and straight into a big climb with an exposed summit and a sketchy descent with lots of slipping on the frost. Today….starts before dawn with a big climb Super tired but basically in reasonable shape otherwise. Not too much running happening though. This is a grind. #NorthernTraverse #ultramarathon #trailrunning
