Jim dropped. Coming off Western he had an ACL injury, didn't run for a month, and then just wasn't able to get it healthy for the race. Sad to see and hopefully this doesn't turn into a serious issue. Also sad because this ends the chance at and American male sweep of OCC, CCC, and UTMB.

I don’t know much about ultras, but have been following along this week.
15th overall for the 1st woman this far in seems insanely fast, Katie is either going to crush the women’s race by an hour or blow up.
Watching the live stream these crowds are insane, even 2-4 am. What a cool event.

Yes, thanks for following and your comments. It's why I suggest to the Brojo's they get out of their comfort zone and go cover these races once, if only once, to grasp just how awesome they are.

Update: Sage Canaday is in 70th place right now, thanks to that Awesome sauce.

been listening to UTMB coverage, not one word about Kilian Jornet or Zack Miller from the announcers!!!!.....pretty sure it's deliberate!

1. Sage needs intervention. He’s obviously not healthy with his heart and lung issues, yet we encourage him to destroy himself. It’s like we’re watching a former 2:20 marathoner run 4hrs.
2. Kilian and Zach Miller did not race thus irrelevant. Very karma in the part of Miller. If he would have entered UTMB and not put up such a stink about it he would have been able to salvage his appendix disaster. Now he finished the season unfulfilled.416 -
What happened to Tom Evans?

Very strange race. The top 3 favorites have dropped at this point- Evans, Walmsley, Grangier

Top 4 for sure - Blanchard, and arguably the top 5 if you count Aurelien. This dude crushing it at the front appears to be running only his second 100 ever

Huuh, that is disappointing. Looks like these sub 2:20 marathoners are not good ultrarunning material.

Vincent Bouillard - upset of the year?

the best runners in the world are from Africa yet no East Africans on the start list of any races! Perhaps it’s time for UTMB to include Africans without having to spend thousands of dollars qualifying.

A national class Steeplechaser!! Track dudes continue to dominate. Hayden Hawks was what a 13:5x and 28:4x guy!?

And by the way the Brooks Hyperion 2 GTS one of best shoes out there. I’ve been basically tripling every day running around Chamonix what a shoe!

$10 bet on how many times podcasters, etc, say this is, “the most competitive women’s race ever”. When in fact, no one knows anyone after the top few. And the winner wins by hours. Lol
i do not know why they keep doing this virtue signaling. It’s literally every race. Almost like they can’t wait to say it: “this is a loaded women’s field!!!”
no, it actually isn’t. There are like two women that win everything they enter and no one competes with them.

Women’s race embarrassing with Katie just disintegrating with probably career ending injury on her way to a CR. Hate to see a 10hr limp. By the way, she doesn’t even show up on The North Face’s roster page. What a miss!!!

Was it Ludovic Pommeret in 5th carried over 100 feet across the finish line - not because he needed the help, but because his crew was overly exuberant? How is that allowed? It did not not impact placing but should clearly be a DQ in any legit race.
