ATY WTF?

Found out that they cancelled the annual Across the Years race (thanks to Chad in AZ for pointing that out). Held over new year's eve, I would never dream of running one (or two, or three) days straight around a track, but it always drew some big names from the ultra world so I would always track it online. Paul D tried to set an American record here last year, and failed so spectacularly that he won't hear the end of it for at least several more years!

Yeah, while I would never run around a track for that long, I'll get on the internet to watch people run around a track for that long. Runners are weird.

They have (or had) one of those in Dallas over Turkey-day weekend. You've got 48-hours to run as many laps as you can. Gigalo (hasher) won it one year; 176 miles I think it was, running 44 or 48 hours. To each his own...

Yeah, it's called Ultracentric, and now it's in Grapevine. They actually have quite a bit of prize money.
