Why does Barkley Marathons only 15 to their destination after 36 year?
6h54 on 8/3, Johanna Bygdell, 39, sitting next to your tent in the middle of the Frozen Head Park, Tennessee, breakfast with his boyfriend. At the same time, the Swedish sounds that the Swedish girl wanted to hear-- the jail time and the signal left an hour before Barkley Marathons, got a break for the worst in the world, starting.
"Finally, the party begins," Bygdell thinks.
Runner is prepared for the last time, packed up your clothes and food, heading for the target to complete annual long 160 met. This year, about 40 his feet have come from all over the world's assembled in front of the Barkley Marathons... a yellow gate.
Most of the years no men return to their destination in time for 60-hour limit. And this year's award is not an exception.
Barkley Marathons 2022 has no completion. But Jasmin Paris, the British first joined, became the first female in a decade completed three-loops only considered "fun" (run a- three-milliseconds-millimeter {y-9-five seconds.
"2022 is one of the year Barkley Marathons felt like a group, picking up every one you think they're going to finish, running Gary"Lazarus Lake"Cantrell-Short as"runner"as the runner-runner.
The founder of Barkley Marathons after the five-1977 by James Earl Ray, who murdered Dr. Martin Luther King, out of Bruley Mountain Prison. For five hours of freedom, Ray only moved over 19 kilomet.
"I can go a little bit of 160-kilomet", Laz ironic.
According to tradition, Laz lit a cigarette to start the race. Runner has 60's hours to complete 5 loop, every half a mile of 202 kilomet, twice clockwise, twice the same time opposite direction. The final laps will be made by the head of the decision, if it comes to this point.
160 kilokilomet in 60 doesn't seem to be such a hard mission, because the world record for this range has not arrived at the 11 hour. But in Barkley Marathons it's the toughest challenge on the planet. The run of the free zone is not marked, runner is used a map and compass, to conquer the height of the accumulated height (elevation) over 15 00-00 in the conditions of the forest, the harsh temperatures.
"The first run is really hot, too hot for my liking, and then the second round is completely left, cold to believe and rain," Nicky Spinks, British runner, after joining the race of five 20.
Runner has to locate hidden books along the way, tear the page with the numbers of the order to prove they've finished the track. This mission is what Enrico Frigeri, a PT 34 from Brazil, is a very bad shape, but this mission. This is radical weather.
After finishing the first round with a V who joined the tournament, Frigeri alone walks into the second round and struggles to find directions, find the location of the books.
"That's when I knew Barkley had won me," you said, though, it was still impressive by Frigeri just caught up with the 45 day for Barkley Marathons after he spent three months. "It's wonderful to finish the loop, I'm very pleased."
Berkley Marathons don't have official website, so, uh, the runnin'the odd mouth in the jogging community.
Disengage with 40 of the crew. First, someone who wants to participate needs to find out when and how to send a letter from someone who's been involved. You need to describe the details in the application why you should be joined.
After paying the registration, 6 USD, the successful registrar will receive a "condolences letter." New people first joined the tournament had to contribute a plate of cars from their country or their country wasted on it. Those who return to the tournament will have to submit other items, change in every year, like a pair of socks or shirt.
In a rare case the previous victor wants to join again, the payment fee will be a 00-0-0-0-0-dollar counters when you're going to be on a prolonged free zone, if it's a 0D.
Laz laughing when asked about the human sacrifice. Whoever Laz believes is the least possibility of completing a loop will be fitted to bib number one.
Those who have attended many important acts in Barkley Marathons, with their experience of accumulating their chances of victory.
"You have to have a mix," Laz says, "Very few people will be doing their best at first, so once they've been through the whole process, you'll give them the chance to run their best, if anyone is a new disaster."
With all the "veterans" joining this year, someone just broke the record of Courtney Dauwalter, out of nowhere, Laz surprised Barkley Marathons 2022 without a champion.
"You've always been looking for the man who accomplished it, you know how much they put on and how much expectation, but you can't always look forward to it. I really think there's gonna be someone about this year's coming."
"Former" Tomokazu Iraha, a 44-age trainer from Japan, was very excited back to the tournament for the third time. With two years ago, Iraha felt confident.
"I almost did it myself, not like the last two times, it felt great."
Even so, Iraha is one of the early settlers, according to Laz. Iraha falls and knees hit a rock in the first round, limits of time to give up after the second round.
"When we get to Little Hell, the rain makes the stones slippery, like three steps back, two steps back, Iraha told me, "My legs are wet and cold, and rabid, and I have five hours before I cross the line of time for the second loop is 26-hour, so, the best option I can do is"run."
"When you're in a different mood, you think you should run the third round, but after you've blacked out after a rainy and night, you won't have a second thought", you reach the golden gate after two hours of 7. Laz and the others encouraged Iraha:'You did it, Tomo. But you go to the bathroom, sit under the warm water to restore your body temperature and think... "Then my body decided that I didn't go back to the track... Barkley Marathons my third party ended like that," runner.
Like everyone else, Iraha is not discouraged. I'd like to be the first Asian to finish Barkley Marathons.
"It's scary to perform a test with a high-yield ability," you say, "But I'm sure that's the beauty of Barkley Marathons. That's why I'm so fond of this."
Laz's also positive about five 2023 like Iraha.
"Everyone is ready," he said. But after all, it's the Barclay Marathon, and you never know what will happen.
