I did support for my buddy who loves ultras and is a fairly competitive "hobby" ultra runner. I consider the front of the packers, and the mid-packers, to be legitimate athletes. They're throwing down very respectable performances. However, I was really surprised to see some of the slower competitors literally eating buckets of KFC fried chicken on the trail and chasing it with craft beer during the race. I saw two of the competitors smoking cigarettes during the race. Props to them for getting the miles in, but man, it can be a party atmosphere back there.
