@williammallin @filmmyrun @JasminKParis @Ultra_Damo Unless something has changed (and there are always changes at the Barkley), anyone who does three loops under the time limit is credited with a Fun Run even if they attempt to go further.

@keithdunn Matt Mahoney's Barkley page gives start times. Adding L3 finish times, both of those loops had substantial daylight if I've done the math correctly.

@lostinaDMBoutro @RichMorel2016 @hhFlyingMonkey @scotshy It's actually a very safe place to be. if you know what you're doing. Plus the people out there have a much higher chance at success. The math for you might be different than for them. The risk/reward #s are very individual. Also, depends on his physical and mental state.

@lostinaDMBoutro @hhFlyingMonkey @PostCollegeMess @scotshy Someone else's risk might be different than yours. Their reward too. I'm guessing he goes out if he makes it back and can make the turn, but it likely depends on what kind of shape he's in. Not the kind of decision you can arm chair for someone else in this situation.

@thamessenjah #bm100 "The only thing that buckles here is your knees"

@jodiisenor @Mikey_pm @electron_red @todayimet Agreed. Plus, you know, course changes can have an impact. Plus time of day.

@jodiisenor @RndmForestRunnr @gary_robbins Reasonable. I'll take the over though.

@henryspeir @ultrademus That is correct. He and his girlfriend. Fortunately, I was well old enough to rent a car at the time.

@keithdunn Sounds like it was about 20 minutes; near optimal; what else would you expect from a Barker?

@TortillaMarissa @mntntrailbird It's meant as an analogy, not an exact comparison.

@mntntrailbird @eLLiejG @annafrosty @runcandice No woman has run 2:13. Few 2:20. If a woman can finish #BM100, would that woman be there?

@mntntrailbird @eLLiejG @annafrosty @runcandice It's like asking of a woman can run a sub 2:13 marathon. Or maybe 2:20.

It's been a race before. Study the history of the race. There have been a close finish or two. Very close. x.com/physio_runner/…

@henryspeir @MA_Lifestyle My two cents: Gary deserves respect. He's wise and he's experienced. This could be the 1st year it's truly a race.

@Claire_Bomkamp @Madz2325 @ghein83 @keithdunn I believe Sue Johnston did Fun Run and started loop 4. Was several years ago.

@notfastsoigofar Go for it!

@notfastsoigofar The locals around the Men's Club are very friendly. Had one guy offer to let me use his shower and spare bed one year.

@notfastsoigofar 13 miles since 2 am is good progress. Keep at it.

@notfastsoigofar Nice!

@flyinbrianrobin @iRunFar Thanks for correcting. That's what I thought. Heard you were flyin' that year.

@TheMattHart Thought those were first lap times at first and wondering what happened. See now they are tower times
