greetings from Belt Buckle, Tennessee, where I will be spending the next several days reporting on the Big Dog Backyard Ultra, a race that DOESNT END UNTIL EVERYONE QUITS

the guy who won last year? 283 miles, or from Saturday morning until Tuesday I got up at 3:45am and am very cold and sleepy! I'm also very excited to witness something that I absolutely would believe to be impossible if it hadn't already happened before. Humans, man!
