Good job STRAVA :-) https://stories.strava.com/articles/the-best-bang-for-your-buck-bike-upgrades?%24web_only=true&%243p=e_it&_branch_match_id=1002226515818432275&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAy2MTQrCMBCFTxN300LTlVBEEK9RJnVMQmMSJhOlt3cE4S0%2B3l8Qqe08jk0Y3zhgrUOKeR9tvZhptnWhNcpJsXD0MWNaO6cl%2FFbGXs10VzXRkNrw%2F9jKS01kiVuipiiBwFETcJg9PAvDUTqD69sOLu4EvXrGh3at3s0fcmvJ6TD2JtzpCyjfBo6iAAAA

Here’s a great synopsis from a kind and optimistic human. And incredible athlete John Kelly, thanks for your belief in others and your courage to do incredible stuff at the same time :-)

A few days ago a bunch of my friends came & ran around the woods of Tennessee tearing pages out of books for the Barkley Marathons. The 5 of us here gathered 75 each. Jasmin Paris had the kind of performance that makes this arbitrary adventure have meaning so far beyond this yellow gate. I don't think anything at Barkley will ever top it.

I wrote back in 2018 (https://randomforestrunner.com/2018/04/can-a-woman-finish-barkley/) that a woman could finish Barkley. But being possible & actually happening are two entirely different things, and I didn't know if I would ever see it. Jasmin had all the right ingredients - incredible strength & speed, an unstoppable quiet resolve, master navigation, & amazing support from her husband Konrad. She failed in 2022 & 2023, but nevertheless, she persisted & gained valuable experience.

When the giant group of 16 in the lead half way around loop 1 started to spread out, she was not amongst the 6 of us back to camp first. Nevertheless, she persisted & caught us going up Rat Jaw in the afternoon sun.

She seemed to start to struggle getting enough food down. Nevertheless, she persisted & kept pace with me, , & until nearly the end of loop 3. She hit another low point & slipped back - something that at that point would have made it extremely easy to give up hope of a finish. Nevertheless, she persisted & joined & Greig for the daunting & critical loop 4.

When we crossed paths on loop 5 & I did the math in my head, the odds for her were very bad. After I finished & heard how far behind she was at the fire tower, the question was how long over the cutoff she would unfortunately be. Nevertheless, she persisted.

As the last few minutes of hope disappeared, my oldest son was the 1st to spot her moving through the woods towards camp. Someone dismissed it as just a kid saying things. When she emerged, Jared & I started frantically looking between each other, our watches, & her willing her broken body up the road. , who has the most heart breaking near finish at Barkley & returned this year to crew me, stood behind us.

My daughters were there watching. Thank you Jasmin, for showing them what I never fully could.

Sunset on Day one view courtesy of - many athletes done at this point 14 hours in, many still soldiering on the course to day two. Great to be back if only to get the chance to visit and just “be” for a while.

Since I get asked a lot when it's okay to start lifting weights or strength training I'm posting this simple info graphic. And for the record, never stop strength training. It strength gets more valuable the older you get!!

Well the bike fit went off smashingly well! Brand new cockpit with a Jones H bar and new stem. Built up a great ultra endurance and expedition bike! Then went riding and immediately biffed it hard. Twice! Can’t win them all!
