A fellow Ultrarunning Magazine columnist!! Go Max! #BM100

It was hot hot hot 🔥 🥵

So, we have Damian Hall, Mathieu Blanchard, Sébastien Raichon, and Max King on loop three. Some hope there. ☠️

Here is a video I shot from last year's BFC of Mathieu Blanchard coming down Rat Jaw. #BM100

12 runners are on loop 2. Anyone else who is going to continue has to start loop 2 by 7:20, less than ten minutes from now. #BM100

First year EVER for Laz to start Barkley on a counterclockwise loop. The result? 32 runners still on loop one after 11 hours!! #BM100

Due to construction 🚧, a change to The Gate at this year's BARKLEY. #BM100 is a Go.

I remember you!! Met us at the bottom before that left turn. I could write a whole chapter about that climb!! What a day. Most brutal.

I remember this. THIS is the first pitch of that forever climb, Long Ridge?, just out of Winchester turning toward WV??

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

I'd like to believe he finally listened to us!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. He read the next to last version. Were just minimal, grammatical fixes. But gives him to opening to say he hasn't read the final copy, lol. He was an instrumental fact checker!!

This new documentary on the accreditation of the "napalm girl" photo could have been structured much better, but its power lies with an unknown freelance photographer, who may have actually snapped the most iconic photo of the Vietnam War.

Give him credit!!

"How to Use Failure"

Laz gave a TED Talk last night on how to never waste it and make it your secret weapon.

"I've failed at most everything in my life," he told me while I was putting together his biography. He never shied away. 📷 Harvey Lewis
