You are a great runner and think you can beat me. History says you are wrong.

The conclusion this year, was of course again foregone; The only ray of hope, surprisingly, comes from the distaff with the gutsy outing
@JasminKParis
. It is with a very small and salty tear(of joy) in my eye that I now have to unpin/update my long standing tweet.

For most Barkers, the top of Rat Jaw means getting your page, topping off your water and getting back on you way.
For Jamil, since it had been several hours w/o a camera,it presented a perfect opportunity to get his mug in front of a go-pro again. Photo:

Jared and John are clearly the Alphas out there. Any that can latch to them and continue to hang will go far. Easier said than done.
No women finishers.
Unfortunately, no women fun run finishers.
No French finishers.
Maybe a Canadian finisher...

Fun Run finish -
@bevlikeabbs
In 2018, no woman even got 2 loops.
Will this year be different?
Why the dearth/dry spell in woman Fun Run finishes(or beyond)?
What woman will go a Fun Run or beyond?

The French retreat at

is now FULL and COMPLETE.
Time to go home heal, drink wine, eat good bread and rest.
Then, when the time comes, begin training and strategizing in earnest in a manner that will all but ensure failure again in 2020.

Worth a re-tweet.
Only those how have spent time there, know the depths of the pain in the

cave.
Tip of the hat to
@RndmForestRunnr
There are no established Barkley Alphas left on the course. That's nature - this gives room for a possible new Alpha(s).
@jackscrine
We'll see how deep they are willing to again, go into the
#bm100
pain cave. It's a big ask...just how much of one mans soul should I be permitted to extract? They've been there before. Will they be willing to stay there again in 2 and a half days....?

As we approach 9:33pm Monday evening, 61 hours after the conch was blown at the top of Big Cove Saturday morning, it is worth noting that a theoretical 5 loop Barker would have been coming in around now or not too long ago.

Now that our UK pensioners Spinks and Reed are out, time to make plans.
I suggest they collaborate on a BBC gardening show geared toward the 60+ crowd. It'll take off and PBS will pick it up on this side of the pond which is good since

It's not negativity luv,it's a healthy realism based on decades of first-hand experience and data! All come with dreams; all leave,one time or another,crushed and shells for their former selves. Any "success",perceived or otherwise,is in exchange for a part of their soul.

In my experience most runners are simply quitters.
@Lydiardsboys
Every runner thinks everyone behind them is “slow” and everyone ahead of them is “fast”. I’m wondering what Barkley folks would think of this?

laz did him a huge favor banning the gopros and other electronic devices. As long as he can hang with John and Jared, he'll go far
But, I have him down for a fun run. Maybe scratching around on an incomplete 4th loop
The upside - still plenty of fodder for his youtube channel.
