Who else thinks Jim Walmsley will SMASH the western states record again today???!

I'm not sure if I'll break the record but I'm hoping he does win. I really like Jim.

Hard to win if you're not on the start list.

Pretty sure Jim's putting all of his eggs in the UTMB basket once again.

Snow probably makes it unlikely he will break the record, but he should win.

I don’t know. I think Anton krupicka will take the win today over Jim. Scott Jurek will also be in the mix. Should be a great race!

I like Jimothy and hope he succeeds at WS100. Why is that?

Trekking poles are explicitly forbidden.

There is nothing that exemplifies hobbyjogging more than those f*cking poles.

my money's on Gordy Ainsleigh

My money is on Kofuzi.

Tom Evans

SETH JAMES DEMOOR will come out of monk mode and WIN the first 23 miles of Western States

Yes!
Seth is the best when it comes to 23 milers.

I hope that fast lil' son-of-a-gun packed some salt pills!

Serious question here - why did Jim never tackle Hard Rock? Why did he go so balls deep into WS? Seems like he's teetering on being a tier 2 runner compared to the true gods like Killian and Francois, and only getting older with lots of young talent coming up. Had he spent a few years on Hard Rock I think he also would've been better equipped to handle UTMB. Has he ever spoken on this?

These guys would all get absolutely smoked if the elite marathoners were in it.

You clearly don't know the difference between 26.2 miles and 100. It ain't linear.

No way, Sage "Speedboat" Canada will beated him once again

And if Usain Bolt ran it - WATCH OUT!

They've made it through Dusty Corners mile 38 and a tight pack with Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley, and Seth James DeMoor.

usain bolt running a race that is roughly 421 times as far as the race he is used to. wow thats definitely the exact same as kipchoge running 100 miles

You mean 22 miles. He will win for sure. But no way at 23 miles.
