My son keeps pulling up "The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young" on Netflix.
It's a quintuple marathon bushwhacking through the steep wooded hills of Tenn. The guy who runs it is a real character and the people who participate are a special breed. It's all he and his friends are talking about these days.
The race was held this past weekend, and a guy from DC finished it. Another guy would have finished it, but he was 6 seconds too slow crossing the finish line before the 60 hour cut-off.
