Is that the Aussie one?

Yep

edit: with a name like dead cow gully, couldn’t be anywhere else! I’m a bit nervous, Jan seems very keen on this :roll_eyes:

Quite fancy the 21 mile route

Not sure that I want to do much more than that at this time of the year (albeit that I have a deferred -lace for the Hardmoors 80 in November :roll_eyes:

Might have to speak to Mrs T about a weekend away in October :rofl:

Centurion Podcast has one of James doing a race review of Western States. His race review series are a really good listen IMO

I also listened to that this morning - agreed with pretty much everything he said

It is a proper tough race

His assessment was that you need to hit circa 26 hrs in one of their races to finish WS in the cut off

I haven’t listened yet but I do enjoy that series. You’re bang on :+1:

Just phenomenal lap 117

There is a video on FB when he has finished his 119 lap Sam H is fucked but Phil looks and sounds as fresh as a daisy…

He also apparently finished said last lap in 33 minutes apparently :exploding_head:

Have a great time supporting the race Pookey!

WS100 has always been near the top of my bucket list!

Listening to James Elson’s podcast made me realise i need to start accruing entries. Really can’t afford it at present (soon to have 3 kids at Uni) but need to play the long game.
