Yes, it was fun to watch. About three hours out from the finish, it started looking like she had a great chance for the overall win. She held pace while everyone else gradually and then radically fell off, and then she ran her last two laps very fast to cement the 100 mile record. It was very exciting.

Were you watching there in person? (or was this from the live feed coverage)? Assuming you were there...what was the course like? All Pavement path? Flat? I heard it was a 1.17 mile loop. How hot and sunny was it during the afternoon? Even as a Hoka athlete (I had a hard time telling from the pics), I couldn't see exactly what shoe model she was wearing...but it kind of looked like a Rincon 3? Sometimes runners will change shoe models during a 100-miler though. Just trying to put this record in perspective and hear all the details. Thanks!
They aren't really teammates because that's not really a team, they just have a common employer and never work together. Why not dub them family while we're misusing terminology? It's like calling Jenny Simpson, Sydney McLaughlin, and Emma Coburn teammates. They're independent freelance contractors with the same company.

Its definitely NOT a pancake flat course. It's been a few years since I was out there so not sure if it's the same course, but I think it was like 60 feet per loop. Most if that was at the beginning/end of the loop. Direct sun. I don't remember there being much shade at all.
Probably pretty good because it's a USATF Champs and records were on the line. That being said Camille is a top notch athlete with very consistent results and a long pedigree. I'd 100% support her as a clean athlete...no doubt in my mind. It's not like she ran a sub 12 and came out of nowhere.
These kinds of events are very unlike in trail-mountain-ultras were there is basically no drug testing ( if it is it is some facade like the "QUARTZ program" which doesn't follow WADA protocol or rules and it is the Wild West) Athletes are more likely to dope big time on the mountain-trail events (and we know some have been already).

Camille is an excellent road ultra runner but consistent results? Absolutely not.
Since 2018 Camille finished 14 race and had 9 DNFs.

Thats probably because she always goes full out,it's very much an all or nothing attitude,when it comes off it is amazing,like today.

Hasn't Camille run USATF champs before? Here are her test results from USADA:
Camille said on Instagram it was a couple thousand cumulative vertical gain (i.e., much hillier than her prior records course and therefore even more of a superior effort).
