Once you accomplish a goal, you must not surrender to desire to rest.
Third time the charm? How long before someone asks "What's Next?"
You can't take victory away. Bears or no bears.
M.A.G.A.

The bear got to him those last few miles.
Olson's previous record was set on a day when the high was 68.
The greatest performance ever by an American distance runner? It might be. Shorter in Montreal, Ryan 3:51; Webb 3:46 , and Walms shattering western states despite a bear.

I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe he'll DO anything different though, so maybe he's mentally tougher or something, but he'll still go way too fast early and go to pieces.
You sure know how to call it. 100% wrong. Good job.
Chicago Marathon shuts down course in 2011 for temps at 90+.
Jim Walmsley sets course record at WS 100 Mile run where temps on parts of course reached well over 100...and gets stopped due to bears for 10 minutes...
Is Courtney on pace to break the women's record? If she gets it, this is unquestionably the most impressive performance by the male and female winner in WS100 history.

That's great 100 mile pacing. I think his target was 14:30:00.
He pretty much ran an even split race. His time at 55.7 was on pace to run 14:36.
Odd. Walmsley is indeed missing a time point at No Hands Bridge. Seems to be where the bear thing occurred. How did he miss that? Look under the splits tab.
Obviously the BEAR didn't jump on his back!!!!
There’s quite a few reports of him running right through No Hands Bridge without stopping.

The bears were before pointed rocks. That's why he ran 10:50 pace for those 3.5 miles. From there to no hands, he ran 2.5 in about 18 minutes acccording to Irunfar

I wouldn't stop either if a bear was chasing me.

Oh, is that a reason for missing a timing point? Rosie Walmsley?
lol there are pictures and multiple eye witnesses that saw him cross No Hands Bridge lol
These website frequently missing aid station points

Hm. Missing a timing point is a DQ. How could he not be timed if people saw him? A person on record pace should follow the rules just like everyone else.
This isn't a major marathon where the splits are automatically uploaded. Those splits were manually entered online all day, hence them showing up online like 10 minutes after the runners would actually go through. He ran through the aid station exactly like you're supposed to do.
Some of you people are completely ridiculous.

So far. The only top runner who has missed a time point is Walms.

But that;s way faster than the others ran that split. Not arguing it didn't happen, but I doubt it was 10 minutes.
