Official 2023 Pike's Peak Marathon Discussion Thread

All that driving 2 hours each way while injured to set up a camera and slowly walk away in the rain with a bright blue poncho on will pay off!!

Yes it was funny sometimes but it was also pretty sad. Seeing a man struggling with an impossible goal of creating "content" every day. Of course he failed badly.

Failed? Technically he’s just on sabbatical guys.

Guy would come home from a 25 mile run eating only 2 gels and drinking one bottle of water. He would then proceed to eat a handful of spinach with chicken slices and 3 eggs and say this is what my body craves. I didn’t care for him, but it was kind of sad to see someone struggle with an eating disorder like that on video and justify it to people like it’s healthy. Yeah…..

6 or so weeks in Europe is enough to gain pretty good altitude adaptation, but 3-4 weeks back in Seattle will offset many of those gains. My thought was, do A and S have an altitude tent?

2:40 and a podium finish

Looks like Reid Coolsaet is running. I wonder what kind of shape he's in.

Looks like there's going to be snow and ice, so not going to break any records.

A little worried about Ari’s training plan for Allie O’s first attempt at the Ascent tomorrow.

Rene Bonet ftw

Breaks record!!

Remi Bonnet - new record?

Well, at least now we have a not debate inducing record on the ascent. Brilliant by Remi.

aaaaaaaaaaand the eggman didn't win... can he podium?
