I’m quite sure you all concur in my assessment of these 3 ultra-athletes. Anyone who runs 2 marathons a day in temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a hundred and eleven days has to be a bit loco. To give you a further insight into their resiliency (or insanity), they had to deal with tendonitis, diarrhea, cramping and a whole host of other unsavoury problems. And what for? To see if they could accomplish something many call impossible. I hope they don’t hear someone say that running across Antarctica with no clothes on is impossible.They do deserve to be lauded for their efforts though. Unless you’re some Super-ironman-ultra-triathlete who can top it. And since most of us can’t even run a marathon and not be sore for the following week I safely conclude that very few people will think about topping it.
