A message from the RD of The Barkley Marathons #bm100:
i wish i had never said 6 seconds...
gary had just come in after having run off courseand missing the last 2 miles of the barkley.that is, of course, not a finish.
i do, however, always record when runners come in,whether they are finishing a loop, or not.so, i had looked at the watch,even tho there was no possibility that he would be counted as a finisher.
so, when someone asked if he had gotten in before the limit;i foolishly answered.
i never expected the story to somehow become that he had missed the time limit by 6 seconds.he failed to complete the course by 2 miles.the time, in that situation, is meaningless.
i hate it, because this tale perpetuates the myth that the barkley does not have a course.the barkley is a footrace.it is not an orienteering contest,nor a scavenger hunt.the books are nothing more than unmanned checkpoints.
the boston marathon has checkpoints.and you have to show up at all of them or you can be disqualified...
that does not mean you are allowed to follow any route you choose between checkpoints.
now, the class with which gary handled this terrible disappoinmentat the end of a truly magnificent performance...that was exceptional,and is, in and of itself, a remarkable achievement.
but he did not miss the time limit by 6 seconds.he failed to complete the barkley by 2 miles.

Episode #78- Gina Lucrezi: East Coast All American => Trail Sisters

Our interview with Gina Lucrezi has been in the works for a few months and we finally got this rockstar on the mic! Gina’s a talented runner and when we look at her running career you’ll be surprised at her ability to compete at just about any distance: D3 NCAA 1500m indoor National Champion, USATF 10k trail National Champion, 5th (1st American Female) at the rugged CCC 100k in Chamonix France, 1st place Silver Rush 50 miler,   2nd place Leona Divide 50 miler, FKT on Mt Whitney, and this is just a smattering of her results, whew!
 
Our interview is broken up into 2 segments due to a dropped phone call. The first segment we discuss her bEAST coast roots, how she got into running, and her journey to the Wild West. The second half of the interview we dive into the story of the Trail Sisters and why ever female runner should have a “Trail Sister”.
 
We hope you enjoyed our interview with Gina and watch out for her this summer as she travels the USA in her new Sprinter spreading the Trail Sisters luv.
