Attended Lake Placid as a spectator, saw a friend off at 6ish AM and stuck around to see them transition to bike. 3 hours later, the top men were running by. The 3rd guy’s leg was covered in blood from what was likely a bad spill on the bike. Almost certain that dude was in top 5.

It always amazes me, no matter the activity, the top 0.0001% of competition is always, 100%, without question, so very impressive.

I still think previously very well fed and slightly sedated fresh water alligators in the water, bears during the bike, and snakes during the run could increase the prize purse by tens of millions. Sponsor that shit through red bull, have the animals only be rescues and be a right of passage into nature preserves to live out their days happy as a clam, and have a shit ton of handlers on hand to prevent people from dying, maybe.

A real life hunger games.

NGL, I’d order pay per view for that shit.

AITA?
