Barkley Marathon: Will Amelia Boone finish?

Pretty surprised Gary would accept her. I wouldn't imagine he has a very high opinion of Spartan races and the like.

But every Barkleys needs it's virgin sacrifices so why not feed it a world class OCRer.

Hope she's taken this challenge seriously, opportunities like this are precious.

Almost nobody finishes, so I doubt it.

And there's two feet of snow on some sides of the mountains in that area. Hopefully laz took advantage of mapping snow time.

Based on statistics alone, I’d say ‘no’.

"jurist prudence"? Nice.

Looks like she is in for Barkley Marathon - thoughts on if she will finish?

I think for her finishing one loop would be a success.

1:08 am and I'm correcting myself on LRC.

Not well. All the lawyers in D.C. need to be fired.

Jurisprudence.

If the Israeli army ever get to enter their toughest women there could ben ten finishers in the same year!

And a lot of male tears on this forum... :-P

Second page always gets the political nutjobs.

What Israel should do first is give the Palestinian people their land back. Then think about the Barkley.

Not this horseshit again.

I don't think a woman will ever finish the BM.

Where did you even see/read she was running it? She is very active on social media and no mention of it at all.

Wikipedia says Amelia Boone is "one of the most accomplished OCR athletes in the history of the sport". Maybe it's more OCD than OCR? Nah, if you're reading this while burning tons of tough calories, Amelia, I'm just being silly. I'm impressed!

Here she is at the start of the race. Race director lighting a cigarette. Interesting...

Israel's failed genocidal attempts in Palestine (which only make them more hated throughout the majority of the world), and the Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel (which only make them more hated throughout the pro-Israel section of the world, which is the rich section) are both terribly deplorable and short-sighted, and ABOVE ALL NOT RELEVANT TO RUNNING!

Are you really comparing a murderous country with a minority of disorganized terrorists?

Running? This thread isn't about running anyway. Barkley is a stupid joke.

Go F yourself and figure out how to start your own thread about that political garbage.

I stand with Israel. I hope Amelia does well in the Barkley Marathons. Apple needs a new CEO, one with neo-Luddite beliefs.

Becky Wade is a triplet. Charles Barkley shouldn't spit on fans. Ray Charles was addicted to heroin. Saliva and mud applied to a blind man's eyes sometimes works wonders.

Amelia is currently the 1st woman through loop one.

For all you nay'sayers who don't know who she is or what she can do, she's not just a class act OCR racer (who won 24 hour races multiple years in a row) or lawyer.

She ran her way right into Western States at her 1st try at SOB100K. She's done the Death Race in Vermont in the dead of winter, 48 hours, multiple times & finished.

Don't doubt her.

9 runners were under CR about 2 hours ago. Isn't there also only 20 or so people in the race? They're all going to implode.
