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

He didn't miss a time point. Don't be so retarded.

THERE IS A PICTURE OF WALMSLEY EARLIER IN THIS THREAD AT THE BRIDGE. HE DIDN'T MISS THE CHECKPOINT. WALMSLEY IS A BOSS.

His split show he is missing one. Maybe you should look yourself before making such a fanboy comment.

early skepticism is the search for the truth. Always look for a reason and proof

There's already plenty of proof. The aid station volunteers watched him come through the aid station, and so did plenty of spectators.

Posted on page 22 right in the middle of the page.

Francois did not have his splits show up at No Hands Bridge either. That's the end of that discussion

The Walmsley haters are desperate, just ignore them. Sad losers. I was really hoping Tim would win but he was never close to threatening. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say about the race.

0/10 Walmsley fanboy. Keep trying to deflect away that Walmsley missed a time point. . . . Hey, how about the 8 minute pace he managed to run between the stops before and after the missed time point while losing 10 minutes to a bear. He would have run low 6 minute pace through that if the bear was not there. Sure.

Yup. Walmsley definitely ran 6 minute pace not counting the bear episode. He was running like the wind! ;-)

3 out of 3 runners are now missing splits for that aid station so obviously they just aren't being posted.

Looking at the splits.... wrote:

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

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

He beat everybody in the race by 10 miles. Of course he was faster through that section.

Actually the race is 100.2 miles so that was AFTER 100 miles!!!!

USADA going to run the drug testing at the finish or is it some 3rd party? They going to test for HGH and the like? How long does that stuff take to leave the system after a 150 mile week

Maybe a little too technical? wrote:

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.

Close race for the rest of the podium.

Basham moving up. 5th to 4th.

Face it, this might be the greatest race ever in an American ultra. 4 miles to go to immortality.

Lucy B hanging on to third by about 14 minutes at the latest checkpoint with 6 miles to go.

Not bad your a youngster that claims to do about 100-120 kilometres in an average training week.

She'll win this one day.
