Barkley Marathons: Hour 13 Update / March 18, 2021

@keithdunn #BarkleyMarathons #courtdauwalter #JamilCoury  Because of travel restrictions the starter list is very heavily US-centric. Far more virgins than veterans. It will be interesting how this plays out over the weekend. #BM100  For the Barkley, runners are issued a very standard watch set to race time; no other watches are allowed. This year’s watch is a no-frills analog pocket watch.  Early happenings: one runner came back to camp 40 minutes into the race because he forgot his bib; another started 58 minutes late.  Crew: I don’t know what happened to my runner! Me: Barkley happened.   Maggie  @MaggatronRuns, Courtney @courtdauwalter, Liz Canty, Jamil Coury and Frank Gonzalez have begun loop two. Nikolay Nachev has finished loop 1 in 11:06:08.  https://twitter.com/keithdunn   Last lap of Courtney Dauwalter’s USA 24 Hour record setting performance https://youtu.be/T90E16nOHzg  In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure.   This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.  This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON
