Aish has been passed. I hope he didn't think this was a marathon.

That would be great if they would disable comments from the jocksniffers.
I didn't know Anton Krupicka was that young, still in the 20-29 age group.
Krupicka is now in the lead.
No one cares about this hobby jogger festival.
I care. The other people commenting care. The people updating, out on the course, etc care.

The poster "Dennis Reynolds" is notorious for being one of the most butthurt people on this site.
With each passing post your douchiness grows by leaps and bounds.
Running is running. True, Jurek will never make it in road marathoning but does he care? No. Neither does Krupicka.
Krupicka just bangs Boulder hotties and laughs all the way to the bank. More power to him.
Well, Aish blew up, not surprisingly. Looks like Anton and Lorblanchet are pretty close to dead even a little before 75, but Lorblanchet had to make up some time on him to catch up, so Lorblanchet is likely stronger at the moment. Will be interesting to see what happens. When I talked to Tony a couple weeks ago, he said that he would absolutely not DNF the race under any circumstance this year, unless it was a legit medical emergency. He also made it sound like he wanted to win badly enough that he was willing to absolutely destroy himself to do it. It'll be interesting to see how he responds to Lorblanchet now being a few seconds back as of Treeline Aid station...
Anton is 29, so he only has about a year or so left at that age group.
I don't suppose it matters as he is one of the top ultra guys out there.
Thomas Lorblanchet takes the lead from Tony Krupicka at the Fish Hatchery (76.5 mi). Per Byron Powell, Lorblanchet left the Fish Hatchery as Krupicka entered 3 1/2 minutes later.
It was also reported that Krupicka was walking on the road to the Fish Hatchery, but he ran into the station.
Krupicka has Dakota Jones as a pacer. Not sure about Lorblanchet.
Nick Clark is in 3rd place. Picture of Clark leaving Hatchery from irun twitter:
Would like to see Krupicka come back and win, but kudos to Lorblanchet, who apparently is going strong.
Elizabeth Howard leads Aliza Lapierre by 12 minutes through Twin Lakes (60.5.)
Why is Anna Frost pacing Thomas instead of Tony?
