100 miles. That's longer than the distance between here and Columbus. In fact, it's only 85.3 miles between Mason and columbus. Ok, anywho, think about driving that distance. The whining that you do because of your legs hurting and having to go potty.... Now imagine running 100 miles. Yeah. Running. I can picture how you probably feel right now. Incredulous? Suprised? Shocked? That's definitely how I felt when in Born to Run, a runner named Ann Trason is mentioned. She's in my mind, a freak-athlete. She's broken 20 world records during her time as a ultra-marathoner, crushing both guys and gals. I can't even imagine running a marathon right now, not to mention an ultramarathon. Plus, Trason didn't just finish ultramarathons. She set unbelievable course records, too! Trason finished the Leadville 100 ultra in just 18:06.24! Did I also mention that the Leadville 100 includes elevations of 9,200 to 12,600 feet? My goodness. The path alone shown in the video sounds terrifying, but having to do that back AND forth?
These runners are just ridiculous.....
