[BBC Radio Announcer]
3
00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:16,016
You're listening to
4
00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:16,016
NewsHour from the BBC.
5
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:17,768
Coming up in the program,
6
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:17,768
we're going to be talking
7
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:20,855
to the founder of an
8
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:20,855
endurance race so tough,
9
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:23,315
hardly anyone has
10
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:23,315
ever finished it.
11
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:25,359
[Lazarus Lake] You always
12
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:25,359
have to keep people
13
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,194
a little off guard.
14
00:00:27,235 --> 00:00:29,947
[Man] The first rule of
15
00:00:27,235 --> 00:00:29,947
Barkley is don't talk about it.
16
00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:31,198
If you talk about it,
17
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:32,658
then you're not going
18
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:32,658
to be part of it.
19
00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:34,952
[BBC Radio Announcer]
20
00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:34,952
So it's kind of secret?
21
00:00:34,994 --> 00:00:37,496
[Laz] It kind of
22
00:00:34,994 --> 00:00:37,496
weeds itself out.
23
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:40,666
If you belong here, you would
24
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:40,666
find out how to get here.
25
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:45,880
This is about you
26
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:45,880
by yourself against
27
00:00:45,921 --> 00:00:47,673
all that out there.
28
00:00:47,715 --> 00:00:49,675
[clock ticking]
29
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:55,639
[acoustic music]
30
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,366
[Interviewer] So
31
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,366
Laz, what is this?
32
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:18,620
This is my big
33
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:18,620
map of Tennessee.
34
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:23,751
Where I have marked down most
35
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:23,751
of the roads I've run on,
36
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:27,421
and I'm trying to think
37
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:27,421
right now where my marker is
38
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:29,048
so I can mark in
39
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:29,048
some that I've done
40
00:01:29,088 --> 00:01:31,926
that I haven't
41
00:01:29,088 --> 00:01:31,926
put on there yet.
42
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:35,303
All the orange roads I've
43
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:35,303
run, I remember them all.
44
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:41,184
Lots of hours went into this.
45
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,770
Lots of damn fun.
46
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:45,647
Yeah, I'd be curious to
47
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:45,647
know in continuous time,
48
00:01:46,774 --> 00:01:50,819
how many hours of
49
00:01:46,774 --> 00:01:50,819
running are in that map.
50
00:01:55,074 --> 00:01:57,367
That guy is smarter than a
51
00:01:55,074 --> 00:01:57,367
whip, smarter than dickens.
52
00:01:57,409 --> 00:02:00,704
He looks like an old hillbilly
53
00:01:57,409 --> 00:02:00,704
redneck, acts like one.
54
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:03,206
You know, people like to
55
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:03,206
think of him as this sadist
56
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:06,209
for creating
57
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:06,209
this race but,
58
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:09,254
that's not
59
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:09,254
him at all.
60
00:02:09,296 --> 00:02:10,672
I mean neither is he.
61
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:11,799
Neither is he
62
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,216
a bleeding heart.
63
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:14,969
There is nothing less
64
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:14,969
pleasant to clean
65
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,595
than a rattlesnake.
66
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,639
I don't really even like
67
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,639
the man very much,
68
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,765
but I love him.
69
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,642
Does this make any sense?
70
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:24,144
You know he was one of
71
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:24,144
the original ultrarunners.
72
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:25,604
He was one of
73
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:25,604
the original ones.
74
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:30,067
[Interviewer] And what
75
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:30,067
are the Memphis Runners?
76
00:02:30,109 --> 00:02:33,612
It was just the first
77
00:02:30,109 --> 00:02:33,612
running club in Memphis.
78
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:36,197
What does that say '78?
79
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,450
[Interviewer] Space
80
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,450
Coast Marathon.
81
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:39,660
Yeah, '78.
82
00:02:39,701 --> 00:02:42,370
Ah, that was a brutal race.
83
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:43,622
Yeah. [laughs]
84
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,293
I used to wear
85
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,293
shirts that size.
86
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,628
Those were the days.
87
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,672
I could run!
88
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:53,674
I could run fast.
89
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:58,219
It didn't seem like
90
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:58,219
I was very fast then,
91
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,723
but I feel it would
92
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,723
be really fast now,
93
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,436
if I could run the
94
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,436
times I ran then.
95
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:07,604
So those are hidden away,
96
00:03:07,646 --> 00:03:09,064
Sandra doesn't know
97
00:03:07,646 --> 00:03:09,064
I still have them.
98
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:21,576
[Interviewer] Is your
99
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:21,576
fuel gauge broken there?
100
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:23,578
[Laz] No.
101
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,663
[Interviewer] Oh okay.
102
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:26,456
We're just on empty?
103
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:28,917
[Laz] No, E means excellent.
104
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:31,336
F means you're fucked.
105
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:39,469
It's on E we're in
106
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:39,469
excellent shape,
107
00:03:39,511 --> 00:03:42,389
we have plenty of gas.
108
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:44,265
Why, how does yours work?
109
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:45,767
Backwards?
110
00:03:45,809 --> 00:03:48,812
[acoustic music]
111
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:14,088
Lazarus, Lazarus Lake,
112
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:16,464
in the white shirt and
113
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:16,464
the cigarette over there,
114
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,092
the guy that hung up
115
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,092
all the license plates,
116
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:19,593
he's a dangerous man.
117
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,596
He and Raw Dog are the guys
118
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,596
that invented this race.
119
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:26,349
They made this race out of
120
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:26,349
nothing, out of thin air.
121
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:29,811
[Interviewer] Who is the
122
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:29,811
mastermind behind the Barkley?
123
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:31,188
Oh, Raw Dog.
124
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:33,774
[Raw Dog] I have suggestions
125
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:33,774
to make it easier,
126
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:36,651
but the harder I protest,
127
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:36,651
the more that eggs him on.
128
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,570
[Interviewer] He
129
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,570
swears that it's you.
130
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:42,574
Which kind of leaves
131
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:42,574
me obligated to
132
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:42,574
swear that it's him.
133
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:44,785
[acoustic music]
134
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,597
[Interviewer] Would you
135
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,597
say the application process
136
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,307
is a secret?
137
00:05:07,348 --> 00:05:09,184
Uh, it's not a
138
00:05:07,348 --> 00:05:09,184
very good secret
139
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:12,187
because hundreds of damn
140
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:12,187
people are figuring it out.
141
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,691
It's like a series
142
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,691
of complicated
143
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,987
ninja moves to get in.
144
00:05:20,946 --> 00:05:24,783
Part of the application
145
00:05:20,946 --> 00:05:24,783
involves an exam.
146
00:05:25,617 --> 00:05:30,622
I've never had to take an exam
147
00:05:25,617 --> 00:05:30,622
to get into a race before.
148
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:34,001
If you're selected, you
149
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:34,001
get a letter of condolences,
150
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:35,335
Sorry to inform you,
151
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:38,588
you've been accepted
152
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:38,588
to run the Barkley.
153
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,339
I guess I should get
154
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,339
the map and some numbers
155
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,383
and stuff out now and,
156
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:47,681
start getting people
157
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:47,681
signed in, see who's here.
158
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:49,224
Still Julian Jamison?
159
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:51,101
Still the same.
160
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,729
You're going to finish 19th.
161
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:56,690
Okay, do I even have to start?
162
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:57,858
[people laughing]
163
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,569
And we now count
164
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,569
you as starting.
165
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:02,904
And 29.
166
00:06:02,946 --> 00:06:04,781
And at this point
167
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:06,700
we are counting
168
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:06,700
you as a starter.
169
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:08,618
[Brett Maune] I'm Brett Maune.
170
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:11,872
I'm a physicist by training.
171
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:15,667
I do research in
172
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:15,667
semiconductor devices.
173
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:19,671
I finished the
174
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:19,671
Barkley last year.
175
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:20,881
I was the 10th finisher.
176
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:23,091
I feel like I have some
177
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:23,091
unfinished business
178
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,093
with not getting
179
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,093
the record.
180
00:06:25,135 --> 00:06:27,470
The main goal is
181
00:06:25,135 --> 00:06:27,470
to try and break
182
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:32,433
Flyin' Brian Robinson's
183
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:32,433
record of 55 hours,
184
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:36,980
42 minutes, and 27 or 37
185
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:36,980
seconds, I'm not sure.
186
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:40,817
So that's
187
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:40,817
basically the goal.
188
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:45,404
I mean, then second to
189
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:45,404
that just finishing,
190
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:50,285
then I'd be the only
191
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:50,285
two-time finisher.
192
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:51,328
[Marco Cych]
193
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:51,328
For the entrance fee.
194
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:52,495
Oh, okay, great.
195
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,622
[Marco Cych]
196
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,622
Application fee.
197
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:58,835
I'm getting rich here.
198
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:00,212
We don't give
199
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:00,212
anyone change.
200
00:07:00,254 --> 00:07:01,504
No.
201
00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:05,592
Well, a lot of people
202
00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:05,592
think it's $1.60
203
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,970
to enter the race, but
204
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,970
that's really not accurate.
205
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,973
We charge $1.60
206
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,973
just to apply,
207
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:15,185
and we don't give the
208
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:15,185
$1.60 back, we keep it.
209
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:19,273
And that's my
210
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:19,273
retirement plan.
211
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:21,775
If you get accepted
212
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:21,775
into the race,
213
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:24,194
then the first year
214
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:24,194
when you're a virgin,
215
00:07:24,236 --> 00:07:26,071
the first time you come,
216
00:07:24,236 --> 00:07:26,071
you have to give us
217
00:07:26,113 --> 00:07:29,283
a license plate from your
218
00:07:26,113 --> 00:07:29,283
home state or home country.
219
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:30,700
There ya go.
220
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:32,202
You know, it was
221
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:32,202
hard to get this off
222
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:35,080
the state trooper vehicle
223
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:35,080
without just, sort of,
224
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:36,957
torching it so I
225
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:36,957
cut off the top.
226
00:07:36,998 --> 00:07:38,875
[Laz laughing]
227
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,253
[Man] Something from France.
228
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:44,339
[Laz] Something from France
229
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:44,339
and we can tell this time.
230
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:45,757
[Man] Why? Because
231
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:45,757
it says France?
232
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,468
And then in succeeding
233
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,468
years, there's various things
234
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:50,720
really kind
235
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:50,720
of according to
236
00:07:51,679 --> 00:07:53,098
what it is I need.
237
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,976
For years we charged
238
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,976
a white shirt.
239
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,520
Now I have a lot
240
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,520
of white shirts.
241
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:03,608
So we charged socks until
242
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:03,608
I had lots of socks.
243
00:08:04,276 --> 00:08:06,945
Now we're charging
244
00:08:04,276 --> 00:08:06,945
a flannel shirt,
245
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:08,989
'til I get flannel shirts.
246
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:11,158
This is your shirt.
247
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,701
All right.
248
00:08:13,743 --> 00:08:15,620
That one will be special
249
00:08:13,743 --> 00:08:15,620
because it's a German shirt.
250
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:19,624
Yeah, I had to
251
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:19,624
translate the sizes.
252
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,751
[Laz laughing]
253
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:23,128
[Laz] Oh yeah,
254
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:25,505
in centimeters I would have
255
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:25,505
had a really tiny shirt.
256
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:29,968
[Laz] It's a pretty
257
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:29,968
low budget production.
258
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:35,015
For anyone, regardless of
259
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:35,015
their economic situation,
260
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:39,227
if they want to see that
261
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:39,227
kind of a challenge;
262
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:42,481
it can be a poor college
263
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:42,481
student, can afford to do it.
264
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:43,690
[John Fegyveresi]
265
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:43,690
All right, John.
266
00:08:43,731 --> 00:08:44,607
John Fegys.
267
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:45,859
Yeah, Fegy, that's me.
268
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,070
I'm John Fegyveresi,
269
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,070
I'm from Pennsylvania.
270
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:50,822
I'm sort of just a poor,
271
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,740
stipend-funded grad
272
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,740
student right now
273
00:08:52,782 --> 00:08:54,493
and this is a great
274
00:08:52,782 --> 00:08:54,493
event for that
275
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,661
because it only
276
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,661
costs $1.60 to do so.
277
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:59,414
This is my
278
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:59,414
first time here.
279
00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:02,792
I study glaciology
280
00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:02,792
and climate change,
281
00:09:02,834 --> 00:09:04,794
paleo-climate actually.
282
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:07,339
Currently, I'm working
283
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:07,339
on a project where
284
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:09,424
we're looking at an ice
285
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:09,424
core from Antarctica.
286
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,385
Ah no, we like
287
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,385
the Antarctica plate.
288
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:13,094
All right. There you go.
289
00:09:13,136 --> 00:09:16,306
That will add
290
00:09:13,136 --> 00:09:16,306
a certain spice.
291
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:17,224
Numbers!
292
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:18,683
You like numbers right?
293
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:20,101
[John] Sure, yeah.
294
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:22,645
[Laz] Scientists and numbers,
295
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:22,645
they almost go together.
296
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:26,691
This is the ugly
297
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:26,691
truth and we now
298
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:27,567
are counting
299
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:27,567
on you starting.
300
00:09:27,608 --> 00:09:29,110
All right, here we go.
301
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,278
Thank you, sir.
302
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,822
You are officially
303
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,822
in the starting field.
304
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:33,865
Fantastic.
305
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:36,826
[John]
306
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:36,826
It's hard to put
307
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:36,826
a finger on it.
308
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,579
I don't remember exactly
309
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,579
what it is I searched for.
310
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:40,914
Somebody may have
311
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:40,914
said something,
312
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,499
Oh, you think that's hard,
313
00:09:42,541 --> 00:09:44,667
you should look at this race
314
00:09:42,541 --> 00:09:44,667
they have down in Tennessee.
315
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,586
And I just started
316
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,586
reading the race reports
317
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:48,588
and it just was so
318
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:48,588
fascinating to me.
319
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:50,798
I was like, this is
320
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:50,798
what I gotta try.
321
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,010
Basically, for the last six
322
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,010
months I've done nothing
323
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:57,680
but eat, sleep, and
324
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:57,680
breathe this event.
325
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,434
I think people have
326
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,434
often said that
327
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,602
you could charge
328
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,602
a huge fee
329
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:04,438
and people would
330
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:04,438
pay it and come.
331
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:07,774
But I don't think you
332
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:07,774
would get the same
333
00:10:07,815 --> 00:10:09,025
collection of people.
334
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:11,278
You like to have people
335
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:11,278
that will enjoy the race
336
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,863
and people that will
337
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,863
enjoy each other.
338
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:17,492
And, plus, for a $1.60
339
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:17,492
and a license plate,
340
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:19,077
if people have complaints,
341
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,870
I can just laugh.
342
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:23,748
You are
343
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:23,748
officially starting.
344
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:25,666
Oh my goodness.
345
00:10:26,876 --> 00:10:28,086
I've got your shirt.
346
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:29,463
Excellent.
347
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,006
Have you made a fun run?
348
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:32,715
No.
349
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:34,342
I didn't think so.
350
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:35,718
It's my year.
351
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,220
You're a really good
352
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,220
runner not to have a fun run.
353
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:38,846
[people laughing]
354
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:40,265
Do you have the map?
355
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:41,558
Course map?
356
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,560
The master map is
357
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,560
around somewhere.
358
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:44,852
[Man] Here.
359
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:48,940
On Friday, we put
360
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:48,940
out one master map
361
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,192
and the people have
362
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,192
to mark their own map.
363
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,904
If they don't exactly
364
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,904
match the master map,
365
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:56,364
that's their own problem.
366
00:10:56,406 --> 00:11:00,494
But it forces them to
367
00:10:56,406 --> 00:11:00,494
have some familiarity
368
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:03,955
with what the layout
369
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:03,955
of the course is
370
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:06,707
and find out a lot of
371
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:06,707
things that it would be
372
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:09,043
a lot less convenient
373
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,254
to recognize that you
374
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,254
have this question
375
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:13,965
when you're eight
376
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:13,965
hours into the race.
377
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:15,674
Whenever you get
378
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:15,674
to the first trail
379
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:17,676
just start following it
380
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:17,676
and if it switchbacks down
381
00:11:17,718 --> 00:11:18,803
you went the wrong way.
382
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:19,846
I thought it was right there?
383
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,432
- It is.
384
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,432
- It's not!
385
00:11:22,474 --> 00:11:24,601
They got rid of that,
386
00:11:24,643 --> 00:11:25,935
and now they're going...
387
00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:27,604
I think the instructions
388
00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:27,604
last were basically,
389
00:11:27,646 --> 00:11:28,729
Keep on following

00:11:27,646 --> 00:11:28,729
the ridge up and
391
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:30,482
climb to the highest point.
392
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:31,983
When it hurts more,
393
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:31,983
you're on the right path.
394
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:32,984
Or something like that.
395
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:34,319
To your right.
396
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,196
45 to your right.
397
00:11:36,737 --> 00:11:39,491
[Wouter speaking French]
398
00:11:40,699 --> 00:11:43,578
If you hit the big rock,
399
00:11:40,699 --> 00:11:43,578
it's on this side.
400
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,121
If you hit the trail,
401
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,121
it's on that side.
402
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:45,913
Okay.
403
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:48,249
Jeep road, you go across,
404
00:11:48,291 --> 00:11:49,876
and you go right?
405
00:11:49,917 --> 00:11:52,879
No no, the
406
00:11:49,917 --> 00:11:52,879
jeep road you go left.
407
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,174
You'll want the instructions,
408
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,174
the course map,
409
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,468
you'll know where all
410
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,468
the sweet new stuff is.
411
00:11:58,510 --> 00:11:59,469
[Nick Hollon] Cool.
412
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,679
You're going to
413
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,679
like the new hill.
414
00:12:00,719 --> 00:12:02,805
It's a source of
415
00:12:00,719 --> 00:12:02,805
endless speculation,
416
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:04,807
decoding what Laz says.
417
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:07,935
There's this tree
418
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:07,935
that's got three trunks,
419
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:09,688
and there's this other tree
420
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:09,688
that's got four trunks,
421
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:10,938
and they're right
422
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:10,938
next to each other.
423
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,440
To him, that's like,
424
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:14,651
he really knows the area
425
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:14,651
and that means a lot.
426
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:15,985
As if that would
427
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:15,985
be helpful to me,
428
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:18,863
a tree with three trunks
429
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:18,863
when they're in a forest!
430
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,366
So his instructions
431
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,366
require you
432
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:23,577
to know the history
433
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:23,577
of his instructions.
434
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:25,453
I don't know
435
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:25,453
everyone who's in it.
436
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:29,082
I would be most worried
437
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:29,082
about Jared Campbell.
438
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:35,046
He was a past winner of the
439
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:35,046
Hardrock 100 in Colorado.
440
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,716
So he's clearly in
441
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,716
pretty good shape.
442
00:12:37,756 --> 00:12:39,509
So he would be
443
00:12:37,756 --> 00:12:39,509
my top concern.
444
00:12:39,551 --> 00:12:42,095
However, he's a
445
00:12:39,551 --> 00:12:42,095
virgin at the Barkley,
446
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:45,640
which gives him an
447
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:45,640
enormous disadvantage.
448
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:47,850
Ya know.
449
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,769
Which will definitely be
450
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,769
relevant on Loop five,
451
00:12:50,811 --> 00:12:52,564
if it gets to that point.
452
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:54,982
So, we'll see.
453
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:56,943
Hopefully he's running,
454
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:56,943
I haven't seen him yet.
455
00:12:56,984 --> 00:12:59,820
[Laz] You're seated
456
00:12:56,984 --> 00:12:59,820
47th out of 35.
457
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:01,489
Fabulous.
458
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:03,116
I like to start at
459
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:03,116
the back of the pack.
460
00:13:03,157 --> 00:13:04,618
I'm Jared Campbell.
461
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,202
I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah.
462
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:08,037
I'm an engineer,
463
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:08,037
mechanical engineer.
464
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:09,664
[Interviewer] Have you
465
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:09,664
ever been up here before,
466
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:10,707
to Frozen Head?
467
00:13:10,749 --> 00:13:11,916
Never have.
468
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:13,834
Just drove in about
469
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:13,834
five to ten minutes ago.
470
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:16,588
So yeah, this is all
471
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:16,588
new to me at this point.
472
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:18,298
There's a great
473
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:18,298
website out there
474
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,300
with tons of
475
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,300
information on it.
476
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:21,468
I'm totally kidding.
477
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:22,801
There's no information
478
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:22,801
online at all,
479
00:13:22,843 --> 00:13:24,845
so it really helps
480
00:13:22,843 --> 00:13:24,845
to know somebody.
481
00:13:24,887 --> 00:13:26,931
I think my intent is
482
00:13:24,887 --> 00:13:26,931
to really go out and
483
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,100
pair up with someone
484
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,100
who knows the course
485
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:30,977
for at least
486
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:30,977
a lap or two.
487
00:13:31,018 --> 00:13:33,396
Try to get it figured
488
00:13:31,018 --> 00:13:33,396
out and go from there.
489
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:36,274
The virgins tend to want
490
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:36,274
to stick with a veteran
491
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,735
for the confidence in
492
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,735
knowing where they are
493
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:40,695
because they're seeing it
494
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:40,695
all for the first time.
495
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:43,822
But if you don't have a
496
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:43,822
certain number of veterans,
497
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:46,033
you just have people
498
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:46,033
wandering around
499
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:48,119
out in the woods all day.
500
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:55,418
I am Wouter Hamelinck
501
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:55,418
from Belgium.
502
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:57,878
I took my bike with
503
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:57,878
me, a folding bike,
504
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,589
that I had in my luggage.
505
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:02,258
And from Knoxville airport, I
506
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:02,258
was cycling over to the park.
507
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,385
I am here to run the
508
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,385
Barkley and well,
509
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:06,596
I try to get as
510
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:06,596
far as I can.
511
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:08,847
And as we know, that
512
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:08,847
might be not so far,
513
00:14:08,889 --> 00:14:11,225
but okay we try to
514
00:14:08,889 --> 00:14:11,225
make the best of it.
515
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:13,394
[Interviewer] Is it
516
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:13,394
well known in Europe?
517
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:16,439
I think it ranks among
518
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:16,439
the best known races,
519
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,316
US races, in Europe.
520
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:19,984
I've been here
521
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:19,984
two years ago,
522
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:22,111
and then it was a
523
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:22,111
rather total disaster
524
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:25,490
so I try to do
525
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:25,490
better than that.
526
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:26,825
[Interviewer] How did
527
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:26,825
you do two years ago?
528
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,284
Just one loop.
529
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:29,869
[Interviewer] Do you
530
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:29,869
have any goals this year?
531
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:31,663
Well you should at
532
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:31,663
least hope for five loops.
533
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:34,624
If you don't hope it,
534
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:34,624
you shouldn't start.
535
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:38,878
But I will be disappointed
536
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:38,878
if I don't get a Fun Run.
537
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:41,756
[acoustic music]
538
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,741
As you probably know,
539
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,741
the course adds up to...
540
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:10,493
Each loop is 20.00 miles.
541
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,495
And every time the
542
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,495
course changes,
543
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:15,206
somehow it's
544
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:15,206
still 20.00 miles,
545
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,625
even if he's directly
546
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,625
added something.
547
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:19,168
Maybe it's both.
548
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:22,088
Maybe it's exactly 20 miles
549
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:22,088
and maybe it's a bit more.
550
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:27,260
That's probably about
551
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:27,260
as true as you can get.
552
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:31,472
Part of the whole
553
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:31,472
adventure is
554
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:32,807
having a
555
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:32,807
little uncertainty,
556
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,268
having to use your
557
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,268
route-finding skills.
558
00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:39,397
We do it twice clockwise,
559
00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:39,397
a daytime loop clockwise
560
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,315
and a nighttime
561
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,315
loop clockwise,
562
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,693
and then a daytime
563
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,693
loop counterclockwise
564
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,112
and a nighttime loop
565
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,112
counterclockwise.
566
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:49,657
On the fifth loop we send them
567
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:49,657
out in opposite directions.
568
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:52,076
The first guy who
569
00:15:49,699 --> 00:15:52,076
leaves on the fifth loop
570
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:55,705
can go either way he wants,
571
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:55,705
clockwise or counterclockwise,
572
00:15:55,747 --> 00:15:58,666
but the next person has to
573
00:15:55,747 --> 00:15:58,666
go the opposite direction.
574
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:06,841
Every loop you're doing
575
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:06,841
is going to be unique
576
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:09,928
because of the time of
577
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:09,928
the day and the direction.
578
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:13,180
I just hope to slog it
579
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:13,180
out and get to the end.
580
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,724
Really, that's my
581
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,724
whole objective.
582
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:17,017
I think I'd be thrilled
583
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:17,017
if I could finish 5 laps,
584
00:16:17,059 --> 00:16:19,228
so that's it.

586
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,815
time that I can out there
587
00:16:21,856 --> 00:16:24,108
but I'm not going into this
588
00:16:21,856 --> 00:16:24,108
thinking it's going to be fun,
589
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,652
to be honest.
590
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:27,320
If you're going to quit and
591
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:27,320
you know you're going to quit,
592
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:28,780
quit somewhere where
593
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:28,780
there's a trail by it.
594
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:30,490
If you're going to
595
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:30,490
quit, quit early.
596
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:32,283
No don't quit early,
597
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:32,283
or don't quit at all
598
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:33,701
because you gotta do five.
599
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:35,035
But if you're out
600
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:35,035
here, you're...
601
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:37,246
It took us, I think, four
602
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:37,246
hours just to get back.
603
00:16:37,288 --> 00:16:39,415
That's after you quit.
604
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:41,125
Damn.
605
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:42,710
I just don't want to get
606
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:42,710
so lost that it becomes,
607
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:42,710
like, embarrassing
608
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:43,878
that I end up
609
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,006
having to get airlifted
610
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,006
out or something.
611
00:16:47,047 --> 00:16:51,678
And yeah, become one of those
612
00:16:47,047 --> 00:16:51,678
stories of miserable failures.
613
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:55,348
I just want to be a regular
614
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:55,348
failure like everyone else.
615
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:58,142
Well you know the
616
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:58,142
record for futility
617
00:16:58,184 --> 00:17:00,227
is poor Dan Baglione who
618
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:03,147
covered two official
619
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:03,147
miles on the course and
620
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:07,276
was out there
621

for 32 hours.
622
00:17:07,318 --> 00:17:09,779
So I now hold

Not yet.

636
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:27,714
Could be.

00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,678
We actually only
641
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,678
narrow the start down
642
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,056
to about a 12-hour period
643
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,056
between midnight and noon,
644
00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:40,518
on Saturday of race weekend.
645
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:44,689
And at the time
646
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:48,568
that me and Raw Dog
647
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:48,568
picked out a year earlier,

650
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,573
the runners have one
651
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,573

00:17:53,614 --> 00:17:56,617
From trying to figure out
653
00:17:53,614 --> 00:17:56,617
how to enter the race,

662
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:05,752
And I've found,
663
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:05,752
over the years,

669
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,136
be the way you planned it.

00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:42,580
for the snake.
673
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:44,457

Okay.
677

Game on.
678
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:56,010
One hour to go.
679
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:57,053
There it is.
680
00:18:59,597 --> 00:19:01,015
Time to get ready.
681

[Interviewer] How you feeling?
682
00:19:02,433 --> 00:19:05,144
A lot better now since
683
00:19:02,433 --> 00:19:05,144
the conch blew, man.
684
00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:08,230
Yeah, I was
685
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:10,650
sort of stressing all night
686
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:10,650
because I was here last year
687
00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:13,987
and had the middle
688
00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:13,987
of the night start,
689
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,614
so you're sort of
690
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,614
anticipating that again.
691
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:19,742
You keep waiting for the

693
00:19:19,784 --> 00:19:21,201

It's been nerve

wracking just sitting here
697
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:39,178
so I'm happy to have heard
698
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:39,178
the noise and the conch shell,
699
00:19:39,219 --> 00:19:40,721
and get ready to go.
700
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:42,765
I slept miserably

from, I think, about
702
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:45,810
10 to 7 so...
703
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:48,146
Miserable, but you never
704

really get good sleep

whatever.
707
00:19:50,272 --> 00:19:52,650
I put my shirt on backwards,
708
00:19:50,272 --> 00:19:52,650
that's not a good start.
709
00:19:57,071 --> 00:19:58,948
[John] I think you
710
00:19:57,071 --> 00:19:58,948
kind of have to come
711
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:00,741
at least hoping to finish.
712
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:04,578
I mean, especially when I
713
00:20:00,783 --> 00:20:04,578
think about all that training.
714
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,747
I have to at least
715
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,747
believe that I could do it
716
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:09,083
so that's about as
717
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:09,083
best as I could say.
718
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:11,044

long without sleep on an event.

The longest I've ever

since it's so steep

00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:13,166

Oh, I slept like a baby.

Because that's what's important.

That's what's important.

about a minute to go.
793
00:22:58,336 --> 00:23:00,587
This would be the part of

840
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:45,585
did the Barkley start
841
00:25:45,627 --> 00:25:47,796
or where did you
842
00:25:45,627 --> 00:25:47,796
get the idea?

out of the prison
846
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,762
into this area and we
847
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,762
were familiar with it
848
00:25:55,804 --> 00:26:00,767
because we'd hiked up
849
00:25:55,804 --> 00:26:00,767
here for some years.
850
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:05,314
And because when trail running
851
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:05,314
started to become popular,
852
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:10,194

853
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:10,194
that people were running
854
00:26:10,236 --> 00:26:12,279

855
00:26:12,321 --> 00:26:14,490

00:26:14,532 --> 00:26:16,534
they were running.
859
00:26:16,574 --> 00:26:18,576

There's no other event that

I know of in this world
947
00:29:25,472 --> 00:29:26,640
that is as hard.

When you talk about

00:29:26,682 --> 00:29:29,809
being the hardest,
950
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:34,064
there's really not
951
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:34,064
such a measurement
952
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:36,692
because you have races
953
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:36,692

956
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:41,780
So we never really
957
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:41,780
thought of it that
958
00:29:41,821 --> 00:29:43,782
this will the
959
00:29:41,821 --> 00:29:43,782
hardest race,
960
00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:48,370

00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:48,370
put something out there
962
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:52,583

is that people want to

00:29:55,335 --> 00:29:57,879
challenge their limitations.
968
00:29:57,921 --> 00:30:01,007
They want to see how
969
00:29:57,921 --> 00:30:01,007
much they can do.
970
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:05,429
And you can't really
971
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:05,429
tell how much you can do
972
00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:08,766
until you try to do
973
00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:08,766
something that's more.
974
00:30:13,186 --> 00:30:14,563
[Joel] Whatcha got?
975
00:30:14,605 --> 00:30:16,649
All right you're next,
976
00:30:14,605 --> 00:30:16,649
go ahead Michiel.
977
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,275
[Frozen Ed] Bye!
978
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:20,026
Uh oh, go fast, go fast.
979
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:26,575
Here ya go.
980
00:30:26,617 --> 00:30:27,909
I'm going to
981
00:30:26,617 --> 00:30:27,909
start following Ed.
982
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:31,037
The first couple of years,
983
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:31,037
runners had a hard time
984
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,123
staying on course
985
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,123
and so I said,
986
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:35,793
Well, why don't you
987
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:35,793
put a book out there
988
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,712
and have each runner
989
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,712
tear out a page
990
00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:40,297
to prove that they
991
00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:40,297
got to that book?
992
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:43,842
And the race number that
993
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:43,842
you have corresponds to
994
00:30:43,883 --> 00:30:47,262
a page in the books that
995
00:30:43,883 --> 00:30:47,262
you're supposed to tear out
996
00:30:47,304 --> 00:30:49,807
to show that you've been
997
00:30:47,304 --> 00:30:49,807
through the whole course.
998
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:53,560
And so if you get
999
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:53,560
race number 35,
1000
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:56,229
that means every time
1001
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:56,229
you come to a book,
1002
00:30:56,271 --> 00:30:58,982
you have to pull out
1003
00:30:56,271 --> 00:30:58,982
page 35 of that book.
1004
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:01,694
They're unofficial checkpoints.
1005
00:31:01,735 --> 00:31:06,198
They give us the assurance
1006
00:31:01,735 --> 00:31:06,198
that people did the course.
1007
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:09,075
They give the other runners
1008
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:09,075
the assurance because
1009
00:31:09,117 --> 00:31:12,538
some people will have
1010
00:31:09,117 --> 00:31:12,538
a tendency to think
1011
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:14,206
maybe someone
1012
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:14,206
else is cheating
1013
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,624
and not doing
1014
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,624
the right thing.
1015
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:18,711
And some of the people
1016
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:18,711
can't find their way around
1017
00:31:18,752 --> 00:31:21,421
and will come back and
1018
00:31:18,752 --> 00:31:21,421
believe in their heart
1019
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:24,633
they did the loop when,
1020
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:24,633
who knows where they went?
1021
00:31:24,675 --> 00:31:25,801
The titles are fun.
1022
00:31:25,843 --> 00:31:27,969
They'll be things
1023
00:31:25,843 --> 00:31:27,969
like The Valley of Death
1024
00:31:28,011 --> 00:31:30,764
or Almost Home,
1025
00:31:31,849 --> 00:31:34,768
things which you would
1026
00:31:31,849 --> 00:31:34,768
look at that book and,
1027
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:36,520
knowing where you
1028
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:36,520
are on the course
1029
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:38,188
you would think to yourself,
1030
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:39,648
Ah, he's just
1031
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:39,648
messing with us now.
1032
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:43,443
[Joel] This is The
1033
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:43,443
Idiot , is the name of the book.
1034
00:31:43,485 --> 00:31:44,862
There is no live web update,
1035
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:47,531
there's no chip-timing
1036
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:47,531
here, there's books.
1037
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:50,659
There's books that
1038
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:50,659
we find in the woods.
1039
00:31:50,701 --> 00:31:51,702
How old school is that?
1040
00:31:51,744 --> 00:31:53,620
This year we had 11 books.
1041
00:31:59,752 --> 00:32:01,670
Ahhh! I found it!
1042
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,131
[upbeat instrumental music]
1043
00:32:33,201 --> 00:32:36,288
All of the places out
1044
00:32:33,201 --> 00:32:36,288
there have their own names.
1045
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:38,582
It just kind of
1046
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:38,582
developed over the years.
1047
00:32:38,624 --> 00:32:40,041
And it's really kind of handy
1048
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:42,628
because they're not
1049
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:42,628
on the park maps.
1050
00:32:42,669 --> 00:32:46,673
So the people who wanted
1051
00:32:42,669 --> 00:32:46,673
to come out here and
1052
00:32:46,715 --> 00:32:49,635
wander into the areas
1053
00:32:46,715 --> 00:32:49,635
where people are really
1054
00:32:49,676 --> 00:32:52,053
not supposed to be,
1055
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:54,890
don't have a map
1056
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:54,890
reference to find them.
1057
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,935
It's a unique hill.
1058
00:32:57,976 --> 00:33:00,395
It's the only one where
1059
00:32:57,976 --> 00:33:00,395
you can see the whole hill.
1060
00:33:00,437 --> 00:33:03,064
And when we came around
1061
00:33:00,437 --> 00:33:03,064
the corner, he said,
1062
00:33:03,106 --> 00:33:04,942
which is apparently
1063
00:33:03,106 --> 00:33:04,942
an old saying...
1064
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:09,070
Let's see, my spectacles,
1065
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:09,070
testicles, wallet and cigars.
1066
00:33:09,112 --> 00:33:12,031
And I just heard him
1067
00:33:09,112 --> 00:33:12,031
say testicle spectacle
1068
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:14,868
and thought...
1069
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:18,956
I just had this vision of
1070
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:18,956
the people coming around.
1071
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,958
It's kind of a test
1072
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,958
of manhood
1073
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,334
[breathes in]
1074
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:26,630
So it became the
1075
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:26,630
Testicle Spectacle
1076
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:29,382
with an entirely
1077
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:29,382
different meaning.
1078
00:33:29,424 --> 00:33:31,760
[dramatic music]
1079
00:33:55,659 --> 00:33:58,871
[upbeat instrumental music]
1080
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:33,321
That's fucked up.
1081
00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:42,622
[Laz] Over the years, when
1082
00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:42,622
you drew the course map
1083
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:45,751
it looked exactly like
1084
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:45,751
the head of a rat,
1085
00:34:47,669 --> 00:34:49,713
with an open mouth.
1086
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,298
So they started
1087
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,298
calling it the Rat Jaw
1088
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:53,592
and then it kind of stuck.
1089
00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:55,552
And because it has
1090
00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:55,552
all the briars,
1091
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:58,805
or has some of the
1092
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:58,805
worst briars most years,
1093
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:01,934
that's where people
1094
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:01,934
get the most rat bites.
1095
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:05,478
They started calling their
1096
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:05,478
briar scratches rat bites.
1097
00:35:07,773 --> 00:35:10,108
That's a saw briar.
1098
00:35:10,149 --> 00:35:11,777
Out in the woods, you
1099
00:35:10,149 --> 00:35:11,777
come on some of them
1100
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:15,614
they're 20 to 30 feet
1101
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:15,614
tall, have a stem that big
1102
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,658
and thorns
1103
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,658
about that long.
1104
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:20,077
[Joel] Coming down Rat Jaw,
1105
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,495
these briars are
1106
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,495
fucking everywhere.
1107
00:35:22,537 --> 00:35:23,747
Ahhh!
1108
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,666
The country people
1109
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,666
had a name for them,
1110
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,710
they were called
1111
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,710
wait-a-minutes
1112
00:35:28,752 --> 00:35:30,712
because you step
1113
00:35:28,752 --> 00:35:30,712
into it with your leg
1114
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:34,007
and a piece pulls down from
1115
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:34,007
the back and snags your ear.
1116
00:35:34,049 --> 00:35:35,258
[Joel] Help me.
1117
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:36,635
Ahhhh!
1118
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:37,636
[Man] On your face?
1119
00:35:37,677 --> 00:35:40,013
[Joel] In my ear. Got it.
1120
00:35:40,055 --> 00:35:41,598
And then when the
1121
00:35:40,055 --> 00:35:41,598
runners get tired,
1122
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,727
they just put their arms in
1123
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,727
front of their face and go.
1124
00:35:47,228 --> 00:35:50,189
[instrumental music]
1125
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:24,933
[Man] Hey Laz, who's
1126
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:24,933
this year's Human Sacrifice?
1127
00:36:24,975 --> 00:36:26,267
Tim Hardy.
1128
00:36:27,144 --> 00:36:29,729
And Tim is in way
1129
00:36:27,144 --> 00:36:29,729
over his head.
1130
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:33,692
Tim Hardy is really good
1131
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:33,692
and done a lot of good stuff
1132
00:36:33,733 --> 00:36:35,777
but he's kind of
1133
00:36:33,733 --> 00:36:35,777
playing it by ear
1134
00:36:36,736 --> 00:36:38,697
and, yeah, he's dead.
1135
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:41,992
Every year, the
1136
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:41,992
runners seem to like,
1137
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:44,661
even at the risk of
1138
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:44,661
losing one chance
1139
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:47,706
at getting a
1140
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:47,706
slot themselves,
1141
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:50,249
that one person
1142
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:50,249
gets entered
1143
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:54,295
who has absolutely no
1144
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:54,295
business out there.
1145
00:36:54,337 --> 00:36:55,254
Thanks.
1146
00:36:55,296 --> 00:36:56,673
[Man] How did he get number one?
1147
00:36:56,715 --> 00:36:58,299
Is he the top seed?
1148
00:36:58,341 --> 00:36:59,676
He is the top seed.
1149
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,053
Yeah, I'm the
1150
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,053
top seed, all right.
1151
00:37:01,094 --> 00:37:03,262
We expect him
1152
00:37:01,094 --> 00:37:03,262
to be back first.
1153
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:07,767
You just wade through all
1154
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:07,767
of the available information
1155
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:10,395
and you find
1156
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:10,395
that person,
1157
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:12,689
that poor
1158
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:12,689
unfortunate soul,
1159
00:37:14,941 --> 00:37:17,736
who's gonna be in
1160
00:37:14,941 --> 00:37:17,736
way over his head.
1161
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:28,621
It was going to take
1162
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:28,621
me at least three hours
1163
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:31,708
to get up to book seven
1164
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:31,708
and I was out of water.
1165
00:37:33,543 --> 00:37:36,671
[mumbles]undertrained
1166
00:37:33,543 --> 00:37:36,671
for this one.
1167
00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:38,006
Just kinda hard to...
1168
00:37:38,048 --> 00:37:39,257
[Interviewer] Just
1169
00:37:38,048 --> 00:37:39,257
hard over all?
1170
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:40,759
Yeah.
1171
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:42,928
This is the hardest
1172
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:42,928
course I've ever been on.
1173
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:43,970
[Alyssa Wildeboer] Tim.
1174
00:37:44,012 --> 00:37:45,597
Yeah.
1175
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:47,933
[Alyssa] Where'd you make it to?
1176
00:37:47,974 --> 00:37:48,767
[Tim] Not very far.
1177
00:37:48,808 --> 00:37:49,684
[Alyssa] Not very far?
1178
00:37:49,726 --> 00:37:51,477
[Tim] Get your bugle out.
1179
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:55,356
Okay, the first one all year,
1180
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:55,356
it might be a little rusty.
1181
00:37:55,398 --> 00:37:57,817
[Tim] That's alright, you
1182
00:37:55,398 --> 00:37:57,817
gotta start somewhere.
1183
00:37:59,402 --> 00:38:00,987
[Laz] We play Taps
1184
00:38:02,114 --> 00:38:04,282
to commemorate
1185
00:38:06,076 --> 00:38:08,369
that they came up
1186
00:38:06,076 --> 00:38:08,369
short of the mark.
1187
00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:11,539
[Taps playing on bugle]
1188
00:38:11,581 --> 00:38:14,834
I learned how to play
1189
00:38:11,581 --> 00:38:14,834
the bugle in scouts.
1190
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:18,797
And when Gary found out
1191
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:18,797
I could play the bugle,
1192
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:22,675
this was probably 15 years ago,
1193
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:24,594
he suggested that
1194
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:24,594
I should play taps
1195
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:26,096
every time someone quits
1196
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:30,058
or is timed out or
1197
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:30,058
does not continue.
1198
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,643
They get tapped.
1199
00:38:32,727 --> 00:38:34,395
I guess it's a way of
1200
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,522
[people laughing]
1201
00:38:36,564 --> 00:38:39,985
the final punishment,
1202
00:38:36,564 --> 00:38:39,985
I guess.
1203
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:43,280
Let's the whole camp
1204
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:43,280
know that somebody quit.
1205
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:46,199
[Taps on bugle finishes]
1206
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:50,745
[Man] Good job.
1207
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:50,745
Welcome back
1208
00:38:50,787 --> 00:38:51,955
Way to go guys.
1209
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:53,790
[Laz] All right, all
1210
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:53,790
the way touch the gate.
1211
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:57,252
7:41:07 and :06.
1212
00:39:01,631 --> 00:39:03,049
Good times out there.
1213
00:39:05,218 --> 00:39:06,719
[Laz] Isn't that sweet?
1214
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:08,847
Oh, it's a little slice
1215
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:08,847
of heaven you got out there.
1216
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:12,350
Bev and Alan are probably
1217
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:12,350
going to be about 10
1218
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:12,350
minutes behind us.
1219
00:39:15,645 --> 00:39:17,730
This may be the best
1220
00:39:15,645 --> 00:39:17,730
you're going to see me, so.
1221
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:26,114
7:44:28 and :30.
1222
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,203
[Laz] So how did you like
1223
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,203
it? Was it about what you
1224
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,203
were expecting?
1225
00:39:31,244 --> 00:39:32,411
[Bev] Oh, it was fabulous.
1226
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:35,290
When you get back
1227
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:35,290
to the yellow gate,
1228
00:39:35,332 --> 00:39:38,293
it's the
1229
00:39:35,332 --> 00:39:38,293
interloopal period.
1230
00:39:38,335 --> 00:39:39,711
It's only that
1231
00:39:38,335 --> 00:39:39,711
interim period,
1232
00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:41,880
interloopal,
1233
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:44,507
that you're
1234
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:44,507
allowed to get aid.
1235
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:46,885
[Laz] You are free
1236
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:46,885
to go to the campsite,
1237
00:39:46,926 --> 00:39:49,428
replenish your stocks.
1238
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:51,764
You can sleep if you
1239
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:51,764
think you have time.
1240
00:39:51,806 --> 00:39:54,893
[Paul] If you're continuing
1241
00:39:51,806 --> 00:39:54,893
on, the clock never stops.
1242
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:57,603
The clock doesn't stop
1243
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:57,603
until the runner stops.
1244
00:39:57,645 --> 00:39:59,064
When you're in camp,
1245
00:39:59,105 --> 00:40:02,108
there's a tremendous
1246
00:39:59,105 --> 00:40:02,108
temptation to not go back out.
1247
00:40:02,817 --> 00:40:05,904
You don't want to have
1248
00:40:02,817 --> 00:40:05,904
that debate in your mind.
1249
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:09,824
You just silence the debate
1250
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:09,824
before you even start running.
1251
00:40:09,866 --> 00:40:11,368
[Jared]
1252
00:40:09,866 --> 00:40:11,368
I had some good guides.
1253
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:14,662
I'd be still looking for
1254
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:14,662
Book one if I didn't have
1255
00:40:14,704 --> 00:40:16,831
Brett and the Abbs.
1256
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:18,958
I'm ready, yeah sure.
1257
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:22,337
All right, thanks y'all.
1258
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:23,255
[Woman] Good luck.
1259
00:40:23,296 --> 00:40:24,130
Have fun.
1260
00:40:24,172 --> 00:40:25,215
Okay, will do.
1261
00:40:25,257 --> 00:40:26,632
See ya.
1262
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:38,270
Thanks Matt, for your
1263
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:38,270
help, by the way.
1264
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:41,731
[Laz] Boy that pace
1265
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:41,731
is pretty impressive.
1266
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,486
[Laz] All right, Wouter!
1267
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:49,364
- 11 pages.
1268
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:49,364
- [Laz] Touch the gate.
1269
00:40:50,156 --> 00:40:52,533
8:23:16.
1270
00:40:52,575 --> 00:40:55,245
[Laz] Do you want to make sure
1271
00:40:52,575 --> 00:40:55,245
of your count before you go?
1272
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:56,662
[Wouter] You can count them.
1273
00:40:56,704 --> 00:40:57,956
[Laz] Well, yeah.
1274
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:01,584
45.
1275
00:41:02,543 --> 00:41:03,586
57.
1276
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:05,671
[Man] Good job.
1277
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:06,505
one, two, three.
1278
00:41:06,547 --> 00:41:08,674
[Laz] 9:07:24 and 25.
1279
00:41:09,717 --> 00:41:11,010
If you don't have
1280
00:41:09,717 --> 00:41:11,010
the right amount,
1281
00:41:11,052 --> 00:41:12,887
you may wish you had.
1282
00:41:25,942 --> 00:41:28,569
My heart rate monitor says
1283
00:41:25,942 --> 00:41:28,569
I burned 7,000 calories.
1284
00:41:28,611 --> 00:41:30,529
I only ate about three.
1285
00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:33,866
You didn't even make
1286
00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:33,866
it to the prison?
1287
00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:35,452
No.
1288
00:41:35,785 --> 00:41:38,830
You just don't know
1289
00:41:35,785 --> 00:41:38,830
what you missed, anyway.
1290
00:41:40,581 --> 00:41:43,042
[helicopter noise]
1291
00:41:49,674 --> 00:41:51,717
[acoustic music]
1292
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:54,220
[Joel] We're supposed
1293
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:54,220
to go to the Northeast
1294
00:41:51,759 --> 00:41:54,220
corner of the prison
1295
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:58,808
and there's a stream
1296
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:58,808
coming out of a tunnel
1297
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:58,808
underneath the prison.
1298
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:01,227
And we're going
1299
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:01,227
to crawl into that
1300
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:03,562
and crawl
1301
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:03,562
under the prison.
1302
00:42:03,604 --> 00:42:06,607
That's the instructions.
1303
00:42:06,649 --> 00:42:10,945
And it's an active
1304
00:42:06,649 --> 00:42:10,945
prison, apparently,
1305
00:42:10,987 --> 00:42:13,281
so there are
1306
00:42:10,987 --> 00:42:13,281
guards here.
1307
00:42:13,323 --> 00:42:16,201
Well, this is an interesting
1308
00:42:13,323 --> 00:42:16,201
Barkley tradition.
1309
00:42:18,661 --> 00:42:20,955
We are walking
1310
00:42:18,661 --> 00:42:20,955
under the prison.
1311
00:42:20,997 --> 00:42:24,583
[suspenseful music]
1312
00:42:30,298 --> 00:42:32,717
Eight years have passed
1313
00:42:30,298 --> 00:42:32,717
since James Earl Ray
1314
00:42:32,758 --> 00:42:35,053
began serving a
1315
00:42:32,758 --> 00:42:35,053
99-year prison sentence
1316
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:36,804
for the assassination
1317
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:36,804
of Dr. King.
1318
00:42:36,846 --> 00:42:39,349
His escape was big
1319
00:42:36,846 --> 00:42:39,349
news when it happened,
1320
00:42:39,391 --> 00:42:40,725
at least in Tennessee.
1321
00:42:40,766 --> 00:42:42,601
And I think most
1322
00:42:40,766 --> 00:42:42,601
everywhere in the country,
1323
00:42:42,643 --> 00:42:44,312
that it was big news.
1324
00:42:44,354 --> 00:42:48,607
He was a famous bad guy
1325
00:42:49,025 --> 00:42:51,986
and then he'd got out of
1326
00:42:49,025 --> 00:42:51,986
this inescapable prison.

1345
00:43:14,884 --> 00:43:18,804
from the years 1976 to 1980.
1346
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:22,767
We have an extensive
1347
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:22,767
manhunt still going on
1348
00:43:22,808 --> 00:43:25,811
involving Brushy Mountain
1349
00:43:22,808 --> 00:43:25,811
Correctional Officers.
1350
00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:29,190
Ray and his
1351
00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:29,190
two companions
1352
00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:30,900
went straight up
1353
00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:30,900
the mountain.
1354
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:32,944
[TV Reporter] At first, prison
1355
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:32,944
officials were confident
1356
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:35,572
they would apprehend James
1357
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:35,572
Earl Ray within hours
1358
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,031
not far from the prison.
1359
00:43:37,073 --> 00:43:39,117
But hours have now
1360
00:43:37,073 --> 00:43:39,117
turned into days,
1361
00:43:39,158 --> 00:43:41,536
and the search area has
1362
00:43:39,158 --> 00:43:41,536
expanded to distances
1363
00:43:41,578 --> 00:43:43,079
far from the prison.
1364
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:44,456
For a while over
1365
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:44,456
the weekend,
1366
00:43:44,497 --> 00:43:45,915
James Earl Ray
1367
00:43:44,497 --> 00:43:45,915
was at the top
1368
00:43:45,957 --> 00:43:48,209
of the FBI's
1369
00:43:45,957 --> 00:43:48,209
Most-Wanted List
1370
00:43:48,251 --> 00:43:49,710
for the second
1371
00:43:48,251 --> 00:43:49,710
time in his life,
1372
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:51,003
then the
1373
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:51,003
hunt ended.
1374
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:54,882
He was taken in
1375
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:54,882
custody in the woods.
1376
00:43:54,924 --> 00:43:58,636
He had laid down, covered
1377
00:43:54,924 --> 00:43:58,636
himself up with leaves,
1378
00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:00,305
pulled leaves over him,
1379
00:44:00,346 --> 00:44:03,849
and the dog team walked up on
1380
00:44:00,346 --> 00:44:03,849
him and took him in custody.
1381
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,935
He was worn out.
1382
00:44:05,977 --> 00:44:07,979
He had been out 54 hours.
1383
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,898
[Reporter] How far away
1384
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,898
from the prison is that?
1385
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:12,984
We're talking about,
1386
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:12,984
what? Eight miles?
1387
00:44:13,025 --> 00:44:14,527
[Man] Yeah.
1388
00:44:14,569 --> 00:44:15,612
Eight miles.
1389
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:17,863
The old story, you
1390
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:17,863
might beat Brushy
1391
00:44:17,905 --> 00:44:19,616
but you're not going to
1392
00:44:17,905 --> 00:44:19,616
beat those mountains.
1393
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:22,619
And this concludes one
1394
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:22,619
of the largest manhunts
1395
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:24,745
in the history
1396
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:24,745
of Tennessee.
1397
00:44:24,787 --> 00:44:27,915
We talked about his
1398
00:44:24,787 --> 00:44:27,915
kind of pathetic attempt
1399
00:44:27,957 --> 00:44:32,670
and only going 8.5
1400
00:44:27,957 --> 00:44:32,670
miles in 54 hours.
1401
00:44:32,711 --> 00:44:36,466
And I said I thought I
1402
00:44:32,711 --> 00:44:36,466
could go 100 miles out here
1403
00:44:36,508 --> 00:44:37,883
in that length of time.
1404
00:44:37,925 --> 00:44:43,055
So that was sort of
1405
00:44:37,925 --> 00:44:43,055
the benchmark to see
1406
00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:48,144
if people couldn't go
1407
00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:48,144
100 miles out here and...
1408
00:44:48,186 --> 00:44:50,605
Some can but not many.
1409
00:44:54,691 --> 00:44:57,320
[Joel] We are on the
1410
00:44:54,691 --> 00:44:57,320
other side of the prison,
1411
00:44:58,613 --> 00:45:00,198
and the book.
1412
00:45:02,699 --> 00:45:05,578
I occasionally
1413
00:45:02,699 --> 00:45:05,578
get angry mail,
1414
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:08,414
angry emails and
1415
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:08,414
letters from people
1416
00:45:08,456 --> 00:45:12,043
who believe that this is
1417
00:45:08,456 --> 00:45:12,043
some sort of a tribute
1418
00:45:12,084 --> 00:45:13,961
to James Earl Ray.
1419
00:45:14,003 --> 00:45:17,256
It's much more
1420
00:45:14,003 --> 00:45:17,256
of the opposite.
1421
00:45:17,298 --> 00:45:19,342
[Man] There's a man
1422
00:45:17,298 --> 00:45:19,342
with a mission right there.
1423
00:45:20,843 --> 00:45:22,679
You are now
1424
00:45:20,843 --> 00:45:22,679
a free man.
1425
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,055
Go out there
1426
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,055
and get it, man.
1427
00:45:24,096 --> 00:45:24,805
[Man 1] Get it man.
1428
00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:25,806
Looking real good.
1429
00:45:25,848 --> 00:45:27,183
[Man 2] Good job,
1430
00:45:25,848 --> 00:45:27,183
looking good.
1431
00:45:31,187 --> 00:45:33,105
[Laz] 9:20:42.
1432
00:45:38,944 --> 00:45:40,779
It's warm out
1433
00:45:38,944 --> 00:45:40,779
there, Laz.
1434
00:45:40,821 --> 00:45:43,157
It's supposed to be
1435
00:45:40,821 --> 00:45:43,157
a lot better tomorrow.
1436
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:43,949
Is it?
1437
00:45:43,991 --> 00:45:45,868
About 10 degrees warmer.
1438
00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:47,453
One of the
1439
00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:47,453
previous finishers
1440
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:49,581
thought that in a hot year,
1441
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:49,581
no one could finish.
1442
00:45:49,622 --> 00:45:51,708
Given the forecast,
1443
00:45:49,622 --> 00:45:51,708
it will be the warmest
1444
00:45:51,748 --> 00:45:53,334
Barkley on record.
1445
00:45:53,376 --> 00:45:57,255
To the gate in 9:29:52.
1446
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,674
So you're perfectly
1447
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,674
on your 9:30 pace.
1448
00:46:02,968 --> 00:46:06,389
And 9:47:42.
1449
00:46:07,056 --> 00:46:08,765
[Man] Good job, Rob.
1450
00:46:08,807 --> 00:46:09,808
You are looking good.
1451
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,936
A little warm
1452
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,936
out there today.
1453
00:46:11,977 --> 00:46:13,605
[Man] You have finished
1454
00:46:11,977 --> 00:46:13,605
the Fun Run, haven't you?
1455
00:46:13,646 --> 00:46:14,939
No.
1456
00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:16,815
[Man] Okay, I
1457
00:46:14,980 --> 00:46:16,815
think you've got a chance.
1458
00:46:16,857 --> 00:46:18,067
Yeah, I'm going to try.
1459
00:46:18,109 --> 00:46:19,402
Oh, he's got it in the bag.
1460
00:46:19,444 --> 00:46:21,446
It's not even going
1461
00:46:19,444 --> 00:46:21,446
to be hard for him.
1462
00:46:21,487 --> 00:46:23,489
[Man]
1463
00:46:21,487 --> 00:46:23,489
You've got a chance!
1464
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:24,616
I've got a chance.
1465
00:46:25,991 --> 00:46:27,368
Go get it!
1466
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:29,662
-Are you ready to
1467
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:29,662
be on your own?
1468
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:29,662
-I am.
1469
00:46:29,704 --> 00:46:31,623
You are now officially
1470
00:46:29,704 --> 00:46:31,623
in a new loop.
1471
00:46:31,664 --> 00:46:33,040
[Laz] You ready to be free?
1472
00:46:33,082 --> 00:46:37,462
You are into loop
1473
00:46:33,082 --> 00:46:37,462
two at 10:18:20.
1474
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,636
Saturday night
1475
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,636
is always fun.
1476
00:46:47,096 --> 00:46:49,682
All night long you'll watch
1477
00:46:47,096 --> 00:46:49,682
them come down quitter's road
1478
00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:50,849
real slow.
1479
00:46:50,891 --> 00:46:52,727
[Woman] And they
1480
00:46:50,891 --> 00:46:52,727
come down this way?
1481
00:46:52,769 --> 00:46:53,936
Lots of 'em will.
1482
00:46:53,978 --> 00:46:55,438
[Laz] All right.
1483
00:46:56,731 --> 00:47:00,276
I've gotta have
1484
00:46:56,731 --> 00:47:00,276
those numbers right.
1485
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:03,112
So was it easier
1486
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:03,112
than you thought?
1487
00:47:03,154 --> 00:47:04,656
Oh yeah.
1488
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:06,658
I'd say you still have a
1489
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:06,658
chance to win this thing.
1490
00:47:06,699 --> 00:47:08,701
All right, that's
1491
00:47:06,699 --> 00:47:08,701
what I need to hear.
1492
00:47:09,619 --> 00:47:10,911
That's it.
1493
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:13,080
All right, let's
1494
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:13,080
go get some food.
1495
00:47:13,122 --> 00:47:15,124
[Laz] Where did you drop?
1496
00:47:15,166 --> 00:47:16,334
[Man] On his head,
1497
00:47:15,166 --> 00:47:16,334
it looks like.
1498
00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:17,543
[Terry Cash] Testicle.
1499
00:47:17,585 --> 00:47:19,211
I've gotta be the
1500
00:47:17,585 --> 00:47:19,211
first drop I'm sure.
1501
00:47:19,253 --> 00:47:20,379
[Man] Nope, second.
1502
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:22,256
And we were actually
1503
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:22,256
just commenting
1504
00:47:22,298 --> 00:47:23,466
on how few there were.
1505
00:47:23,508 --> 00:47:24,925
And there'll be more
1506
00:47:23,508 --> 00:47:24,925
to join you soon.
1507
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:26,051
Yes.
1508
00:47:26,093 --> 00:47:27,052
[Laz] All right.
1509
00:47:27,094 --> 00:47:28,596
Virgin going out alone at night.
1510
00:47:28,638 --> 00:47:30,306
[Laz] Alone at night.
1511
00:47:30,348 --> 00:47:31,599
You do have a light?
1512
00:47:31,641 --> 00:47:33,225
[Man] You've got a jacket?
1513
00:47:33,267 --> 00:47:34,268
Yeah.
1514
00:47:34,602 --> 00:47:38,564
115 at 10:54:11,
1515
00:47:38,606 --> 00:47:39,607
go get 'em.
1516
00:47:41,942 --> 00:47:43,569
[Man] Go Ed.
1517
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:44,945
[Laz] All right, Ed!
1518
00:47:44,987 --> 00:47:47,699
12:15:19!
1519
00:47:47,740 --> 00:47:48,574
Touch the gate.
1520
00:47:48,616 --> 00:47:50,159
[Man] Touch the gate, boom!
1521
00:47:50,702 --> 00:47:52,453
[James] James,
1522
00:47:50,702 --> 00:47:52,453
letting the Brits down
1523
00:47:52,495 --> 00:47:54,121
in their fine record.
1524
00:47:54,163 --> 00:47:56,624
[people laughing]
1525
00:47:58,626 --> 00:48:00,877
[Laz] You going back out?
1526
00:47:58,626 --> 00:48:00,877
-No
1527
00:48:00,919 --> 00:48:02,755
[Laz] You haven't lived until
1528
00:48:00,919 --> 00:48:02,755
you've done the night loop.
1529
00:48:02,797 --> 00:48:04,006
[David] Yeah,
1530
00:48:02,797 --> 00:48:04,006
night loop's real good.
1531
00:48:04,048 --> 00:48:06,050
I'm afraid I won't
1532
00:48:04,048 --> 00:48:06,050
live if I do a night loop.
1533
00:48:06,091 --> 00:48:07,051
[Laz] Are you sure?
1534
00:48:07,092 --> 00:48:08,344
I'm sure. I'm done.
1535
00:48:08,386 --> 00:48:09,679
[Laz] Because if you're done,
1536
00:48:09,721 --> 00:48:11,430
we have a man to
1537
00:48:09,721 --> 00:48:11,430
play a song for you.
1538
00:48:11,472 --> 00:48:12,640
Oh excellent.
1539
00:48:12,682 --> 00:48:13,558
[Laz] Are you sure?
1540
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:14,809
I'm sure.
1541
00:48:14,851 --> 00:48:16,977
I've had all I can take.
1542
00:48:17,019 --> 00:48:18,521
I've had all I can handle.
1543
00:48:18,563 --> 00:48:20,648
I couldn't even
1544
00:48:18,563 --> 00:48:20,648
comprehend what it was.
1545
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:23,693
I thought I had an idea,
1546
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:23,693
but I had no clue.
1547
00:48:23,735 --> 00:48:25,361
[Joel] We are
1548
00:48:23,735 --> 00:48:25,361
coming to hear taps.
1549
00:48:25,403 --> 00:48:26,863
[Ed] My legs hurt so
1550
00:48:25,403 --> 00:48:26,863
much I feel stupid
1551
00:48:26,903 --> 00:48:29,574
for starting another loop,
1552
00:48:26,903 --> 00:48:29,574
but it's what I came here for.
1553
00:48:29,615 --> 00:48:31,116
[Laz] Go get 'em Ed!
1554
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:32,243
[people cheering]
1555
00:48:32,284 --> 00:48:33,619
[Ed] Thank you!
1556
00:48:33,661 --> 00:48:34,579
[Man] You can do it!
1557
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:35,788
[Elise Harrington]I'm goin' out.
1558
00:48:35,830 --> 00:48:36,873
[Woman] You're goin'
1559
00:48:35,830 --> 00:48:36,873
back out for loop two?
1560
00:48:36,913 --> 00:48:37,914
[Laz] There's a
1561
00:48:36,913 --> 00:48:37,914
runner going back out.
1562
00:48:37,956 --> 00:48:39,083
All right!
1563
00:48:39,124 --> 00:48:41,043
And you're number 127.
1564
00:48:41,085 --> 00:48:42,420
Okay.
1565
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:43,880
[Laz] Tear 'em up,
1566
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:43,880
we'll see you in about
1567
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,631
9.5 hours.
1568
00:48:46,883 --> 00:48:48,634
[Laz] For some people,
1569
00:48:46,883 --> 00:48:48,634
to finish the Fun Run
1570
00:48:48,676 --> 00:48:51,011
is the accomplishment
1571
00:48:48,676 --> 00:48:51,011
of a lifetime.
1572
00:48:51,053 --> 00:48:52,764
And for some of them
1573
00:48:51,053 --> 00:48:52,764
to finish one loop
1574
00:48:52,805 --> 00:48:55,892
is the achievement
1575
00:48:52,805 --> 00:48:55,892
of a lifetime.
1576
00:48:55,932 --> 00:48:59,270
And for some people,
1577
00:48:55,932 --> 00:48:59,270
just to get back to camp alive
1578
00:49:00,020 --> 00:49:02,022
is all they want
1579
00:49:00,020 --> 00:49:02,022
in the world.
1580
00:49:06,569 --> 00:49:07,904
[Laz] DeWayne!
1581
00:49:08,738 --> 00:49:11,449
You're not doing the
1582
00:49:08,738 --> 00:49:11,449
reverse loop are you?
1583
00:49:14,702 --> 00:49:15,870
Are you
1584
00:49:17,663 --> 00:49:18,831
tap-worthy?
1585
00:49:18,873 --> 00:49:20,957
How far did you get?
1586
00:49:21,834 --> 00:49:23,043
[DeWayne] Temple of Doom.
1587
00:49:23,085 --> 00:49:25,045
[people laughing]
1588
00:49:26,088 --> 00:49:28,048
[Man 1] Do you
1589
00:49:26,088 --> 00:49:28,048
feel as good as you look?
1590
00:49:29,508 --> 00:49:31,636
[DeWayne] The Pillars of Doom.
1591
00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:34,889
I laid on the trail waiting
1592
00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:34,889
for somebody but nobody came.
1593
00:49:34,931 --> 00:49:37,224
[people laughing]
1594
00:49:37,266 --> 00:49:39,602
[Man 2] You didn't
1595
00:49:37,266 --> 00:49:39,602
wait long enough.
1596
00:49:45,733 --> 00:49:47,234
Taps.
1597
00:49:50,696 --> 00:49:52,989
[Laz] You still
1598
00:49:50,696 --> 00:49:52,989
have time to go back out.
1599
00:49:54,241 --> 00:49:56,285
[Taps playing on bugle]
1600
00:49:54,241 --> 00:49:56,285
[people laughing]
1601
00:49:56,327 --> 00:49:59,538
[Laz] It's highly unlikely that
1602
00:49:56,327 --> 00:49:59,538
anyone will die out there
1603
00:50:01,457 --> 00:50:03,668
because we try to
1604
00:50:01,457 --> 00:50:03,668
make sure that people
1605
00:50:03,709 --> 00:50:06,295
know what they're doing
1606
00:50:03,709 --> 00:50:06,295
and you have some control
1607
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:09,005
over the situation,
1608
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:09,005
but they are going to
1609
00:50:09,047 --> 00:50:11,676
figuratively die because
1610
00:50:09,047 --> 00:50:11,676
they're going to fail.
1611
00:50:11,717 --> 00:50:13,344
They're going to get to the end.
1612
00:50:13,385 --> 00:50:17,055
They are people who
1613
00:50:13,385 --> 00:50:17,055
are used to succeeding.
1614
00:50:17,097 --> 00:50:19,015
We have such a high
1615
00:50:17,097 --> 00:50:19,015
number of people
1616
00:50:19,057 --> 00:50:22,937
that have graduate degrees
1617
00:50:19,057 --> 00:50:22,937
because they set goals,
1618
00:50:22,979 --> 00:50:25,857
they accomplish them,
1619
00:50:22,979 --> 00:50:25,857
they don't let anything
1620
00:50:26,983 --> 00:50:29,610
stand in their way.
1621
00:50:29,652 --> 00:50:32,738
And I think the race
1622
00:50:29,652 --> 00:50:32,738
appeals to them because
1623
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:34,490
they could fail.
1624
00:50:36,241 --> 00:50:38,285
[instrumental music]
1625
00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:47,753
[Jared] This climb really
1626
00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:47,753
scrapes the hell out of you.
1627
00:50:49,463 --> 00:50:50,756
Yeah.
1628
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:54,092
It's just razor-sharp down
1629
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:54,092
there, you'd be amazed.
1630
00:51:06,981 --> 00:51:08,983
[birds chirping]
1631
00:51:35,426 --> 00:51:37,093
[Laz] All right.
1632
00:51:40,056 --> 00:51:41,223
You alright?
1633
00:51:42,558 --> 00:51:43,601
Time for taps.
1634
00:51:44,476 --> 00:51:45,603
Time for taps?
1635
00:51:45,644 --> 00:51:46,604
[Man 1] What?
1636
00:51:46,645 --> 00:51:47,772
[Man 2] Oh no!
1637
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:50,983
You have 16 hours to
1638
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:50,983
finish another loop.
1639
00:51:51,025 --> 00:51:53,861
You could get a little rest,
1640
00:51:51,025 --> 00:51:53,861
you might feel better.
1641
00:51:58,616 --> 00:52:00,242
Think how good it'll feel
1642
00:52:00,284 --> 00:52:02,160
when you finish
1643
00:52:00,284 --> 00:52:02,160
that third loop.
1644
00:52:04,413 --> 00:52:07,458
[Man 1] You came a long way
1645
00:52:04,413 --> 00:52:07,458
for a 40-mile training run.
1646
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:12,964
Are you absolutely positive?
1647
00:52:13,005 --> 00:52:14,882
[Man 1]
1648
00:52:13,005 --> 00:52:14,882
Is that your final answer?
1649
00:52:14,924 --> 00:52:17,217
Is Dave uh... You are the
1650
00:52:14,924 --> 00:52:17,217
luckiest man this morning.
1651
00:52:17,259 --> 00:52:18,719
It's been ugly.
1652
00:52:18,761 --> 00:52:21,847
[Taps playing on bugle]
1653
00:52:28,270 --> 00:52:29,730
[Electronic Voice]
1654
00:52:28,270 --> 00:52:29,730
That was easy.
1655
00:52:30,856 --> 00:52:32,942
[crowd laughing]
1656
00:52:32,984 --> 00:52:35,027
[people clapping]
1657
00:52:46,371 --> 00:52:47,706
[Wouter] First loop was fine.
1658
00:52:47,748 --> 00:52:49,458
A bit fast, but okay.
1659
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:56,256
But then the second
1660
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:56,256
loop, my feet gave up.
1661
00:52:58,258 --> 00:53:00,719
My feet were totally wasted.
1662
00:53:00,761 --> 00:53:02,013
I'm disappointed.
1663
00:53:02,054 --> 00:53:04,222
I only got two loops.
1664
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,976
In any given year,
1665
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,976
there's probably
1666
00:53:08,477 --> 00:53:11,772
at least several people
1667
00:53:08,477 --> 00:53:11,772
who could finish.
1668
00:53:11,814 --> 00:53:16,068
But at the end of the day,
1669
00:53:11,814 --> 00:53:16,068
either due to some run
1670
00:53:11,814 --> 00:53:16,068
management issue,
1671
00:53:16,110 --> 00:53:19,488
like dehydration and
1672
00:53:16,110 --> 00:53:19,488
not eating properly
1673
00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:21,866
and frequently enough, or
1674
00:53:21,907 --> 00:53:25,744
due to mental
1675
00:53:21,907 --> 00:53:25,744
breakdown, essentially,
1676
00:53:25,786 --> 00:53:29,581
one of those reasons,
1677
00:53:25,786 --> 00:53:29,581
they end up not doing it.
1678
00:53:29,623 --> 00:53:32,793
But yeah, the mental
1679
00:53:29,623 --> 00:53:32,793
aspect is key.
1680
00:53:37,131 --> 00:53:39,091
[Laz] Magnificent effort, Byron.
1681
00:53:40,009 --> 00:53:41,468
[Byron] Taps please.
1682
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:43,595
[Laz] There's a man who
1683
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:43,595
never brings anything back,
1684
00:53:43,637 --> 00:53:45,639
leaves it all on the course.
1685
00:53:46,724 --> 00:53:49,643
I arrived at the yellow
1686
00:53:46,724 --> 00:53:49,643
gate and said, Taps please.
1687
00:53:49,685 --> 00:53:50,853
I'm done.
1688
00:53:50,895 --> 00:53:53,229
Barkley won, there's
1689
00:53:50,895 --> 00:53:53,229
nothing else I can do.
1690
00:53:53,271 --> 00:53:54,648
Sometimes, when
1691
00:53:53,271 --> 00:53:54,648
something defeats us,
1692
00:53:54,690 --> 00:53:56,650
we feel the need to
1693
00:53:54,690 --> 00:53:56,650
go back and prove
1694
00:53:56,692 --> 00:54:00,362
something to ourselves,
1695
00:53:56,692 --> 00:54:00,362
I guess.
1696
00:54:00,404 --> 00:54:02,740
I don't feel that
1697
00:54:00,404 --> 00:54:02,740
way about this.
1698
00:54:02,781 --> 00:54:04,700
It was just, I gave
1699
00:54:02,781 --> 00:54:04,700
everything I had
1700
00:54:04,742 --> 00:54:07,327
and it wasn't enough,
1701
00:54:04,742 --> 00:54:07,327
and I'm okay with that.
1702
00:54:11,289 --> 00:54:13,125
[John] Still on time to
1703
00:54:11,289 --> 00:54:13,125
maybe do it so,
1704
00:54:13,167 --> 00:54:13,876
we'll see.
1705
00:54:13,918 --> 00:54:15,502
I haven't slept.
1706
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:16,420
[Interviewer] Oh,
1707
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:16,420
you haven't yet?
1708
00:54:16,461 --> 00:54:17,796
[John] No.
1709
00:54:19,297 --> 00:54:20,841
[Interviewer] Are you trying
1710
00:54:19,297 --> 00:54:20,841
to plan some time for sleep?
1711
00:54:21,633 --> 00:54:24,762
[John] Yeah, I'll see how I feel
1712
00:54:21,633 --> 00:54:24,762
when I get back to camp.
1713
00:54:24,803 --> 00:54:27,305
But my limit is
1714
00:54:24,803 --> 00:54:27,305
sort of 48 hours.
1715
00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:30,350
I get kind of
1716
00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:30,350
weird after that.
1717
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:34,146
I'm starting to
1718
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:34,146
mumble my words.
1719
00:54:34,188 --> 00:54:36,732
[Laz] Yep, I
1720
00:54:34,188 --> 00:54:36,732
gotta change sides.
1721
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:38,025
[Man] Oh yeah.
1722
00:54:40,152 --> 00:54:42,362
[Woman] And I know
1723
00:54:40,152 --> 00:54:42,362
what that's all about.
1724
00:54:43,697 --> 00:54:45,866
[crowd cheering and clapping]
1725
00:54:53,249 --> 00:54:54,959
Most of the people
1726
00:54:53,249 --> 00:54:54,959
that finish the Fun Run
1727
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,129
kind of treat it as sort
1728
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,129
of a lifetime achievement.
1729
00:54:58,170 --> 00:55:04,593
Really, we didn't even
1730
00:54:58,170 --> 00:55:04,593
say it was a 100-mile
1731
00:54:58,170 --> 00:55:04,593
race for several years,
1732
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:06,762
although that
1733
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:06,762
concept was there,
1734
00:55:06,804 --> 00:55:09,473
because people couldn't
1735
00:55:06,804 --> 00:55:09,473
even finish the Fun Run.
1736
00:55:10,766 --> 00:55:13,685
And once people started
1737
00:55:10,766 --> 00:55:13,685
finishing the Fun Runs,
1738
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:16,605
then you say well,
1739
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:16,605
you know the real deal
1740
00:55:16,647 --> 00:55:18,482
is to go 100 miles.
1741
00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:22,318
And the Americans just
1742
00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:22,318
had a fallback mentality
1743
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,489
that the race
1744
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,489
was the Fun Run,
1745
00:55:25,530 --> 00:55:27,699
the 100 was impossible.
1746
00:55:27,741 --> 00:55:29,534
[Interviewer] Who
1747
00:55:27,741 --> 00:55:29,534
was the first one?
1748
00:55:29,576 --> 00:55:30,828
Mark Williams.
1749
00:55:30,869 --> 00:55:32,079
Came from England.
1750
00:55:32,121 --> 00:55:33,831
He was one of the
1751
00:55:32,121 --> 00:55:33,831
first foreign entries
1752
00:55:33,872 --> 00:55:37,793
when we started to suddenly
1753
00:55:33,872 --> 00:55:37,793
get people from overseas.
1754
00:55:37,835 --> 00:55:40,129
He finished it in 1995,
1755
00:55:40,171 --> 00:55:42,631
so it had been going
1756
00:55:40,171 --> 00:55:42,631
on for close to,
1757
00:55:42,673 --> 00:55:44,716
if not at, 10 years.
1758
00:55:44,758 --> 00:55:49,180
Once someone finished, you
1759
00:55:44,758 --> 00:55:49,180
knew it really could be done.
1760
00:55:50,346 --> 00:55:53,725
And then it was an
1761
00:55:50,346 --> 00:55:53,725
additional six years before
1762
00:55:53,767 --> 00:55:55,769
a second person finished it.
1763
00:55:55,811 --> 00:55:58,981
Each year that no
1764
00:55:55,811 --> 00:55:58,981
one finished,
1765
00:55:59,023 --> 00:56:02,651
that appealed to a set
1766
00:55:59,023 --> 00:56:02,651
of people that liked to
1767
00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:05,361
be out there at
1768
00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:05,361
the limit.
1769
00:56:05,403 --> 00:56:08,740
And then people
1770
00:56:05,403 --> 00:56:08,740
would come
1771
00:56:08,782 --> 00:56:11,576
and they would be angry
1772
00:56:08,782 --> 00:56:11,576
when they got to the race
1773
00:56:11,618 --> 00:56:15,664
and ran it because it was
1774
00:56:11,618 --> 00:56:15,664
exactly like we said it was.
1775
00:56:15,706 --> 00:56:18,583
That loop really
1776
00:56:15,706 --> 00:56:18,583
took a lot out of
1777
00:56:18,625 --> 00:56:20,002
both Jared and I.
1778
00:56:20,044 --> 00:56:21,086
[Aidan Maune] Daddy!
1779
00:56:21,128 --> 00:56:22,629
[Hareem] Daddy,
1780
00:56:21,128 --> 00:56:22,629
can you say cheese?
1781
00:56:22,671 --> 00:56:24,798
[Brett] Cheeeeese.
1782
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,091
[Hareem] Do you want two more?
1783
00:56:26,717 --> 00:56:28,719
Do you need anything else?
1784
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,846
Good job Aidan, good job.
1785
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:32,556
[Hareem] Do you want to
1786
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:32,556
bring a shake with you?
1787
00:56:32,597 --> 00:56:34,432
A strawberry shake?
1788
00:56:34,933 --> 00:56:38,436
Mrs. Maune, he said he
1789
00:56:34,933 --> 00:56:38,436
might take that soup or...
1790
00:56:40,396 --> 00:56:42,149
[Alyssa] At
1791
00:56:40,396 --> 00:56:42,149
least you're having fun.
1792
00:56:42,191 --> 00:56:43,775
Oh yeah.
1793
00:56:43,817 --> 00:56:46,153
No, there were parts of that,
1794
00:56:43,817 --> 00:56:46,153
that were definitely not fun.
1795
00:56:52,617 --> 00:56:54,619
I felt
1796
00:56:52,617 --> 00:56:54,619
terrible though.
1797
00:56:54,661 --> 00:56:57,289
I don't know, I felt really
1798
00:56:54,661 --> 00:56:57,289
good the first few laps but
1799
00:56:54,661 --> 00:56:57,289
this last one was rough.
1800
00:56:57,331 --> 00:56:58,957
Things weren't
1801
00:56:57,331 --> 00:56:58,957
looking good.
1802
00:56:58,999 --> 00:57:01,501
Jared was just
1803
00:56:58,999 --> 00:57:01,501
waiting for me.
1804
00:57:04,213 --> 00:57:06,673
[Aidan] Dad, way up high.
1805
00:57:06,715 --> 00:57:07,674
Daddy, daddy
1806
00:57:07,716 --> 00:57:09,593
[kid mumbles]
1807
00:57:09,634 --> 00:57:11,011
No, no, no.
1808
00:57:14,765 --> 00:57:15,682
[Ed] Great job.
1809
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:17,935
Course record,
1810
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:17,935
course record!
1811
00:57:18,977 --> 00:57:22,564
[Laz] 163 and 165,
1812
00:57:18,977 --> 00:57:22,564
y'all have fun out there.
1813
00:57:22,606 --> 00:57:24,733
[people clapping]
1814
00:57:32,449 --> 00:57:33,825
[Man 1] Outstanding!
1815
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:35,327
[Man 2] Tag the
1816
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:35,327
gate, tag the gate.
1817
00:57:35,369 --> 00:57:36,661
[Laz] All the way!
1818
00:57:36,703 --> 00:57:38,872
32:14:47,
1819
00:57:41,125 --> 00:57:43,127
32:14:51.
1820
00:57:43,168 --> 00:57:44,795
You've got it made now.
1821
00:57:44,836 --> 00:57:46,838
It's all downhill from here.
1822
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,132
[Alyssa] Good job guys.
1823
00:57:48,173 --> 00:57:49,841
[Laz] See y'all back
1824
00:57:48,173 --> 00:57:49,841
in about half an hour?
1825
00:57:49,883 --> 00:57:51,218
[Alan] Uh, yeah.
1826
00:57:51,260 --> 00:57:52,552
[John] Oh.
1827
00:57:52,594 --> 00:57:54,721
[Alyssa] Do you
1828
00:57:52,594 --> 00:57:54,721
know where you dropped Bev?
1829
00:57:54,763 --> 00:57:58,100
Yeah, on top of Stallion.
1830
00:57:58,142 --> 00:58:01,645
And thank you for a nice,
1831
00:57:58,142 --> 00:58:01,645
neat, orderly pile of pages.
1832
00:58:02,813 --> 00:58:04,773
Three down,
1833
00:58:02,813 --> 00:58:04,773
that's kind of cool!
1834
00:58:04,815 --> 00:58:07,151
[Alyssa] Yeah it is,
1835
00:58:04,815 --> 00:58:07,151
it's way cool.
1836
00:58:08,819 --> 00:58:10,570
Fun Run in the bank.
1837
00:58:10,612 --> 00:58:13,240
[Alyssa] Virgin Fun Run!
1838
00:58:14,699 --> 00:58:17,202
We got Mountain Dew
1839
00:58:14,699 --> 00:58:17,202
or caffeine pills?
1840
00:58:17,244 --> 00:58:18,745
[John] I kind of
1841
00:58:17,244 --> 00:58:18,745
don't want to take it
1842
00:58:18,787 --> 00:58:20,580
because I feel like
1843
00:58:18,787 --> 00:58:20,580
I don't need it yet.
1844
00:58:20,622 --> 00:58:22,082
Hey Nick, what
1845
00:58:20,622 --> 00:58:22,082
time are you going?
1846
00:58:22,124 --> 00:58:24,793
[Nick] Uh, in about 13 minutes.
1847
00:58:24,835 --> 00:58:26,378
You?
1848
00:58:26,795 --> 00:58:30,257
I just need to get at least
1849
00:58:26,795 --> 00:58:30,257
500 to 700 calories in me.
1850
00:58:30,299 --> 00:58:31,216
[John] Yeah, um.
1851
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:34,219
I'll try to go
1852
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:34,219
with you guys,
1853
00:58:34,261 --> 00:58:36,054
but I might not
1854
00:58:34,261 --> 00:58:36,054
quite make it.
1855
00:58:36,888 --> 00:58:38,890
[Alyssa] How about a Payday?
1856
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:41,726
Oh, bomber. Yeah.
1857
00:58:44,646 --> 00:58:46,982
[John] It kind of started, so I
1858
00:58:44,646 --> 00:58:46,982
was just sort of working,
1859
00:58:47,024 --> 00:58:48,984
had a house, was doing
1860
00:58:47,024 --> 00:58:48,984
the whole domestic thing
1861
00:58:49,026 --> 00:58:51,736
and had this weird sort
1862
00:58:49,026 --> 00:58:51,736
of life-changing thing.
1863
00:58:51,778 --> 00:58:52,904
One year I just said,
1864
00:58:52,946 --> 00:58:54,448
I'm going to hike the
1865
00:58:52,946 --> 00:58:54,448
Appalachian Trail.
1866
00:58:54,490 --> 00:58:58,076
And I did that and I sort of
1867
00:58:54,490 --> 00:58:58,076
got hooked on that adventurous,
1868
00:58:58,118 --> 00:58:59,744
challenge lifestyle.
1869
00:58:59,786 --> 00:59:02,914
And then from there, I decided
1870
00:58:59,786 --> 00:59:02,914
to do a few more thru-hikes.
1871
00:59:02,956 --> 00:59:05,917
And I went home for Christmas
1872
00:59:02,956 --> 00:59:05,917
to visit with my family
1873
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:07,836
and an old high school
1874
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:07,836
friend was there.
1875
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:09,629
We went out for a
1876
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:09,629
beer and he said,
1877
00:59:09,671 --> 00:59:12,341
Yeah, I've got my first
1878
00:59:09,671 --> 00:59:12,341
marathon next weekend!
1879
00:59:12,383 --> 00:59:14,092
And I kind of just
1880
00:59:12,383 --> 00:59:14,092
sat there thinking,
1881
00:59:14,134 --> 00:59:15,760
that's something I
1882
00:59:14,134 --> 00:59:15,760
could probably do.
1883
00:59:15,802 --> 00:59:18,722
I know my dad ran a
1884
00:59:15,802 --> 00:59:18,722
marathon years ago.
1885
00:59:18,763 --> 00:59:20,391
I'm going to
1886
00:59:18,763 --> 00:59:20,391
give it a try.
1887
00:59:20,432 --> 00:59:22,184
The leaders,
1888
00:59:20,432 --> 00:59:22,184
these two guys.
1889
00:59:22,226 --> 00:59:23,977
That's four; me
1890
00:59:22,226 --> 00:59:23,977
is five.
1891
00:59:24,019 --> 00:59:25,396
If Bev's still in
1892
00:59:24,019 --> 00:59:25,396
it, that's six.
1893
00:59:25,437 --> 00:59:26,938
And then Travis,
1894
00:59:25,437 --> 00:59:26,938
that's seven.
1895
00:59:26,980 --> 00:59:28,273
I wonder if
1896
00:59:26,980 --> 00:59:28,273
Tim's still in it?
1897
00:59:28,315 --> 00:59:29,191
[Alyssa] No.
1898
00:59:29,233 --> 00:59:31,527
Tim Englund?
1899
00:59:31,568 --> 00:59:32,861
He dropped
1900
00:59:31,568 --> 00:59:32,861
at the tower.
1901
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:34,154
Aw.
1902
00:59:34,738 --> 00:59:36,490
Hey man,
1903
00:59:34,738 --> 00:59:36,490
it's remarkable.
1904
00:59:36,532 --> 00:59:37,574
-Good job.
1905
00:59:36,532 --> 00:59:37,574
-Thanks, man.

1908
00:59:39,326 --> 00:59:42,829
Uhm, ya know.
1909
00:59:39,326 --> 00:59:42,829
They're okay.
1910
00:59:42,871 --> 00:59:44,706
Just gotta get
1911
00:59:42,871 --> 00:59:44,706
through two more.
1912
00:59:58,470 --> 01:00:00,514
You ready, Nick?
1913
01:00:00,556 --> 01:00:01,723
Yeah, let's get the
1914
01:00:00,556 --> 01:00:01,723
hell out of here.
1915
01:00:01,765 --> 01:00:04,142
I think it's going
1916
01:00:01,765 --> 01:00:04,142
to be Nick and I,
1917
01:00:04,184 --> 01:00:07,438
and if John wants
1918
01:00:04,184 --> 01:00:07,438
to catch up to us
1919
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:10,566
You've got
1920
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:10,566
everything you need?
1921
01:00:10,607 --> 01:00:11,691
Yep.
1922
01:00:12,025 --> 01:00:13,651
Dropped off everything
1923
01:00:12,025 --> 01:00:13,651
you don't need.
1924
01:00:13,693 --> 01:00:14,403
Yep.
1925
01:00:14,445 --> 01:00:16,363
[Man] Way to go, Alan.
1926
01:00:19,783 --> 01:00:22,327
You are now an
1927
01:00:19,783 --> 01:00:22,327
independent human being.
1928
01:00:22,369 --> 01:00:24,121
169, good stuff.
1929
01:00:24,162 --> 01:00:24,955
Cool.
1930
01:00:24,996 --> 01:00:25,705
[Ed] Okay, way to go, Nick.
1931
01:00:25,747 --> 01:00:27,499
[Laz] Go get 'em.
1932
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:30,502
[Man] All right, go get 'em!
1933
01:00:30,544 --> 01:00:31,503
Good luck.
1934
01:00:31,545 --> 01:00:32,379
[Nick] Thank you.
1935
01:00:33,589 --> 01:00:34,798
[Nick] Have you started
1936
01:00:33,589 --> 01:00:34,798
a fourth loop ever?
1937
01:00:34,839 --> 01:00:36,383
[Alan] Nope.
1938
01:00:37,675 --> 01:00:38,843
[Nick] All right.
1939
01:00:43,181 --> 01:00:44,600
[Laz] Have you handed
1940
01:00:43,181 --> 01:00:44,600
off everything
1941
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:45,934
you need to hand off?
1942
01:00:45,976 --> 01:00:48,937
171, you're a free

1946
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,192
[Man 1] Very good!
1947
01:00:54,234 --> 01:00:54,943
[Man 2] Good luck, John.
1948
01:00:54,985 --> 01:00:55,986
[Ed] Great job John!
1949
01:00:56,027 --> 01:00:56,987
[Man 1] Way to go, John.
1950
01:00:57,028 --> 01:00:58,655
[Ed] We want two more.
1951
01:00:59,697 --> 01:01:00,907
[Man 1] Two more!
1952
01:01:00,949 --> 01:01:02,618
[Man 2] But we'll
1953
01:01:00,949 --> 01:01:02,618
start with one right now.
1954
01:01:02,659 --> 01:01:05,120
[Man 3] Don't forget,
1955
01:01:02,659 --> 01:01:05,120
you're representing
1956
01:01:02,659 --> 01:01:05,120
an entire continent!
1957
01:01:06,704 --> 01:01:08,624
[Ed] Go Antarctica!
1958
01:01:08,665 --> 01:01:09,958
No pressure, though.

Well, you got
1962
01:01:21,761 --> 01:01:25,349
about 13.5 hours to
1963
01:01:25,390 --> 01:01:26,642
get turned around.
1964
01:01:26,683 --> 01:01:28,101
[Bev] No, check and mate.
1965
01:01:28,143 --> 01:01:29,686
You sure? You've got time.
1966
01:01:29,727 --> 01:01:31,729
Yeah, my knee is not
1967
01:01:29,727 --> 01:01:31,729
going to take another one.
1968
01:01:32,897 --> 01:01:34,691
I wish I could.

[Julian] The briars are actually
1970
01:01:35,526 --> 01:01:38,153
a little better this year.
1971
01:01:39,237 --> 01:01:40,738
I know, I know.
1972
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:43,200
Sorry to say that, you went
1973
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:43,200
a lot further than I did.
1974
01:01:43,241 --> 01:01:44,576
[Bev]
1975
01:01:43,241 --> 01:01:44,576
Oh, this is going to be ugly.
1976
01:01:44,618 --> 01:01:47,162
I guess I won't be wearing
1977
01:01:44,618 --> 01:01:47,162
any dresses for a while.
1978
01:01:48,539 --> 01:01:51,082
I think most people
1979
01:01:48,539 --> 01:01:51,082
would be better off
1980
01:01:51,124 --> 01:01:53,877
with more pain in
1981
01:01:51,124 --> 01:01:53,877
their lives, honestly.
1982
01:01:53,918 --> 01:01:56,046
I think they would,
1983
01:01:53,918 --> 01:01:56,046
if nothing else,
1984
01:01:56,087 --> 01:01:59,675

pain-free times more.
1986
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:03,554
But I think also there's
1987
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:03,554
this self-induced aspect
1988
01:02:03,595 --> 01:02:06,598
of, you've struggled,
1989
01:02:03,595 --> 01:02:06,598
you've overcome,
1990
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,560
you've gotten through,
1991
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,560
then you're confident
1992
01:02:09,601 --> 01:02:11,769
and you both enjoy the
1993
01:02:09,601 --> 01:02:11,769
rest of your life more,
1994
01:02:11,811 --> 01:02:13,355
but also you feel
1995
01:02:11,811 --> 01:02:13,355
like you can do things
1996
01:02:13,397 --> 01:02:15,732
and you take on challenges that
1997
01:02:13,397 --> 01:02:15,732
you wouldn't otherwise try,
1998
01:02:15,773 --> 01:02:17,817
and you get to points that
1999
01:02:15,773 --> 01:02:17,817
you wouldn't otherwise reach.

2005
01:02:49,974 --> 01:02:51,893
All right, Rob,
2006
01:02:49,974 --> 01:02:51,893
you've got 25 minutes
2007
01:02:51,935 --> 01:02:53,562
to start on the 100.
2008
01:02:53,604 --> 01:02:54,771
Do you wanna go on?
2009
01:02:54,812 --> 01:02:56,189
I don't think so.

[Laz] Are you sure?
2011
01:02:57,524 --> 01:02:59,109
2012 was all

01:02:59,150 --> 01:03:01,278
Maybe someday.

01:03:01,319 --> 01:03:02,571

01:03:02,613 --> 01:03:04,114
Thank you.
2016
01:03:04,155 --> 01:03:06,742
Yeah, I worked
2017
01:03:04,155 --> 01:03:06,742
super hard for this.
2018
01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:09,578
This is my sixth attempt.

[Laz] It sounds
2020
01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:12,289
like he wants taps.

No.
2026
01:03:19,087 --> 01:03:21,590
I far exceeded what

I thought I could do.

[Taps playing on bugle]

01:05:26,548 --> 01:05:27,632
Nice job.
2093
01:05:28,049 --> 01:05:29,551
[Man] Ring the bell.
2094
01:05:31,177 --> 01:05:33,096
[bell ringing]
2095
01:05:34,472 --> 01:05:36,015
[people cheering and clapping]
2096
01:05:36,683 --> 01:05:41,104
[Brett] It's only around
2097
01:05:36,683 --> 01:05:41,104
lap four or lap five
2098
01:05:41,145 --> 01:05:44,775
where it would really start
2099
01:05:41,145 --> 01:05:44,775
to morph into a true race.
2100
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,777
But it's so rare that you have
2101
01:05:46,818 --> 01:05:49,571
even two people
2102
01:05:46,818 --> 01:05:49,571
get that far that
2103
01:05:49,613 --> 01:05:51,573
it's a rare event
2104
01:05:49,613 --> 01:05:51,573
when it happens.
2105
01:05:51,615 --> 01:05:55,535
I know I would
2106
01:05:51,615 --> 01:05:55,535
race someone who's
2107
01:05:55,577 --> 01:05:57,871
also starting a loop five
2108
01:05:55,577 --> 01:05:57,871
in the opposite direction
2109
01:05:57,913 --> 01:05:59,956
and I'm sure they would as well.
2110
01:06:00,749 --> 01:06:02,834
[Interviewer] Are you
2111
01:06:00,749 --> 01:06:02,834
kind of hoping for that?
2112
01:06:02,876 --> 01:06:04,043
Uh, yes.
2113
01:06:04,085 --> 01:06:05,712
Definitely.
2114
01:06:05,754 --> 01:06:06,671
Yeah, yeah.
2115
01:06:06,713 --> 01:06:08,298
It would be really exciting,
2116
01:06:08,339 --> 01:06:11,217
and I think it would lead
2117
01:06:08,339 --> 01:06:11,217
to an overall lower time,
2118
01:06:11,259 --> 01:06:13,595
knowing that there's
2119
01:06:11,259 --> 01:06:13,595
someone out there.
2120
01:06:13,637 --> 01:06:15,972
That can only encourage
2121
01:06:13,637 --> 01:06:15,972
you to go faster.
2122
01:06:23,647 --> 01:06:24,689
[Laz] Who is it?
2123
01:06:24,731 --> 01:06:26,441
[Alan] It's Alan.
2124
01:06:24,731 --> 01:06:26,441
I didn't make it.
2125
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:27,776
[Laz] I was gonna say,
2126
01:06:27,818 --> 01:06:29,360
isn't this the wrong direction?
2127
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:30,403
[Alan] Yep.
2128
01:06:31,488 --> 01:06:32,697
[Laz] You didn't make it?
2129
01:06:32,739 --> 01:06:35,784
[Alan] No, I had problems
2130
01:06:32,739 --> 01:06:35,784
on Pighead Creek.
2131
01:06:35,826 --> 01:06:37,535
I got all screwed up.
2132
01:06:38,536 --> 01:06:41,665
[Laz] Oh man, you
2133
01:06:38,536 --> 01:06:41,665
made it to Pighead?
2134
01:06:41,706 --> 01:06:44,542
Yeah, then who
2135
01:06:41,706 --> 01:06:44,542
knows where after that.
2136
01:06:44,584 --> 01:06:45,669
[Laz] You went down Pighead?
2137
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:46,795
Yeah.
2138
01:06:46,837 --> 01:06:48,755
Little disappointing
2139
01:06:46,837 --> 01:06:48,755
how it turned out.
2140
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:51,508
[Man] Is that the
2141
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:51,508
furthest you've gone?
2142
01:06:51,549 --> 01:06:52,091
Yeah.
2143
01:06:52,133 --> 01:06:54,177
[Man] Good job.
2144
01:06:54,218 --> 01:06:55,553
[Travis] Who were you with?
2145
01:06:54,218 --> 01:06:55,553
Nick and...
2146
01:06:55,595 --> 01:06:57,430
I was with Nick and John.
2147
01:06:58,473 --> 01:07:00,224
How strong did they look?
2148
01:07:00,266 --> 01:07:02,936
Uh, John was looking
2149
01:07:00,266 --> 01:07:02,936
pretty strong.
2150
01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:06,982
[Laz] Not Nick?
2151
01:07:07,023 --> 01:07:09,400
Well, Nick uh...
2152
01:07:09,442 --> 01:07:10,401
He'll probably do pretty well.
2153
01:07:10,443 --> 01:07:11,987
He was kind of up and down.
2154
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,155
[instrumental sad music]
2155
01:07:15,365 --> 01:07:16,700
[Man] Yay, Nick.
2156
01:07:16,741 --> 01:07:17,993
Wooo!
2157
01:07:20,244 --> 01:07:21,746
All right.
2158
01:07:21,788 --> 01:07:24,791
I'm disappointed in
2159
01:07:21,788 --> 01:07:24,791
myself on that but you're...
2160
01:07:24,833 --> 01:07:27,377
You did almost four loops.
2161
01:07:28,336 --> 01:07:31,130
That puts you in
2162
01:07:28,336 --> 01:07:31,130
pretty thin company.
2163
01:07:31,172 --> 01:07:32,173
Yes.
2164
01:07:32,215 --> 01:07:34,467
Quitters Road is so long.
2165
01:07:34,509 --> 01:07:36,803
[people laughing]
2166
01:07:36,845 --> 01:07:39,681
It was awful.
2167
01:07:39,723 --> 01:07:42,642
Was John Fegys with you?
2168
01:07:42,684 --> 01:07:43,727
Did John already come in?
2169
01:07:43,768 --> 01:07:44,602
No.
2170
01:07:44,644 --> 01:07:46,437
He hasn't come in yet?
2171
01:07:46,479 --> 01:07:47,647
Shoot.
2172
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:05,874
[Man] Way to go!
2173
01:08:07,792 --> 01:08:10,169
46:26:28.
2174
01:08:11,046 --> 01:08:12,589
[John] I got so lost out there.
2175
01:08:12,630 --> 01:08:14,507
[Joel] Is there
2176
01:08:12,630 --> 01:08:14,507
anything you want?
2177
01:08:17,427 --> 01:08:19,136
[Laz] He wants to have 11 pages.
2178
01:08:19,178 --> 01:08:21,598
You going straight back out
2179
01:08:19,178 --> 01:08:21,598
or you need a little break?
2180
01:08:21,639 --> 01:08:23,058
[John] I need a little break.
2181
01:08:23,099 --> 01:08:24,768
I don't have time
2182
01:08:23,099 --> 01:08:24,768
to sleep either.
2183
01:08:24,809 --> 01:08:26,728
[Travis] No. Listen
2184
01:08:24,809 --> 01:08:26,728
to me, I'm not saying sleep,
2185
01:08:26,770 --> 01:08:27,645
I'm just saying you just...
2186
01:08:27,687 --> 01:08:29,731
[John] Oh, my feet hurt so bad.
2187
01:08:29,773 --> 01:08:31,983
I mean, it hurts so bad to run.
2188
01:08:32,901 --> 01:08:35,445
Oh, I'm going to be
2189
01:08:32,901 --> 01:08:35,445
running in a lot of pain.
2190
01:08:35,486 --> 01:08:37,363
Do you actually
2191
01:08:35,486 --> 01:08:37,363
have any dry socks?
2192
01:08:37,405 --> 01:08:38,281
[Travis] Oh yeah.
2193
01:08:38,322 --> 01:08:40,742
Because all my socks are damp.
2194
01:08:40,784 --> 01:08:43,036
They want to beat each other
2195
01:08:44,579 --> 01:08:46,873
and they will race
2196
01:08:44,579 --> 01:08:46,873
their guts out.
2197
01:08:46,915 --> 01:08:49,918
But as failure, for
2198
01:08:46,915 --> 01:08:49,918
one reason or another,
2199
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,462
overtakes each one
2200
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,462
of those top guys,
2201
01:08:52,503 --> 01:08:57,092
they become
2202
01:08:52,503 --> 01:08:57,092
like a defacto
2203
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:59,803
crew of the people
2204
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:59,803
who are left.
2205
01:08:59,844 --> 01:09:02,388
And when it winnows down
2206
01:08:59,844 --> 01:09:02,388
to that single runner
2207
01:09:02,430 --> 01:09:04,432
that's surviving,
2208
01:09:04,474 --> 01:09:07,102
he's got an aid crew
2209
01:09:04,474 --> 01:09:07,102
that's like a who's who.
2210
01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:12,440
The amount of knowledge and
2211
01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:12,440
experience and accomplishments
2212
01:09:12,482 --> 01:09:15,151
in that group,
2213
01:09:12,482 --> 01:09:15,151
helping him to go on
2214
01:09:15,192 --> 01:09:17,695
so that someone can succeed,
2215
01:09:18,613 --> 01:09:21,032
while if any one of them
2216
01:09:18,613 --> 01:09:21,032
were out there with him
2217
01:09:21,074 --> 01:09:22,575
at the same time,
2218
01:09:22,617 --> 01:09:24,702
they'd be trying to beat him.
2219
01:09:24,744 --> 01:09:26,579
[Travis] Your arms
2220
01:09:24,744 --> 01:09:26,579
and legs look like a scene
2221
01:09:26,621 --> 01:09:28,123
from Passion of the Christ.
2222
01:09:29,290 --> 01:09:31,334
I've never had blisters
2223
01:09:29,290 --> 01:09:31,334
my entire life.
2224
01:09:34,671 --> 01:09:35,880
[Alyssa] And
2225
01:09:34,671 --> 01:09:35,880
you've never done four loops
2226
01:09:35,922 --> 01:09:37,799
at the Barkley in
2227
01:09:35,922 --> 01:09:37,799
your entire life.
2228
01:09:37,841 --> 01:09:39,258
[people laughing]
2229
01:09:40,677 --> 01:09:42,470
[Joel] So you're
2230
01:09:40,677 --> 01:09:42,470
not going to pop them?
2231
01:09:42,512 --> 01:09:43,304
I'm not going to what?
2232
01:09:43,346 --> 01:09:44,180
[Joel] Pop 'em?
2233
01:09:47,809 --> 01:09:49,226
Yeah, I don't know.
2234
01:09:50,145 --> 01:09:52,355
I don't know if I have
2235
01:09:50,145 --> 01:09:52,355
anything to pop them with.
2236
01:09:52,396 --> 01:09:55,274
Does somebody have a little
2237
01:09:52,396 --> 01:09:55,274
tiny knife or something?
2238
01:09:55,316 --> 01:09:56,943
[Travis] Do some
2239
01:09:55,316 --> 01:09:56,943
surgery on your feet.
2240
01:09:56,985 --> 01:09:59,154
It's going to pay
2241
01:09:56,985 --> 01:09:59,154
huge dividends later.
2242
01:09:59,195 --> 01:10:00,530
13 hours.
2243
01:10:06,452 --> 01:10:08,204
[Ed] I would try
2244
01:10:06,452 --> 01:10:08,204
to poke through it
2245
01:10:08,245 --> 01:10:09,706
so you get two
2246
01:10:08,245 --> 01:10:09,706
little holes in it.
2247
01:10:09,747 --> 01:10:11,332
[Travis] I'm going
2248
01:10:09,747 --> 01:10:11,332
to let you do it.
2249
01:10:11,374 --> 01:10:13,209
[Ed] It'll drain out better.
2250
01:10:13,250 --> 01:10:14,335
Good, perfect.
2251
01:10:14,377 --> 01:10:15,753
If you can just poke
2252
01:10:14,377 --> 01:10:15,753
it right through.
2253
01:10:15,795 --> 01:10:17,881
Ouch. Hurts me to watch.
2254
01:10:18,673 --> 01:10:20,800
[John] Oh, God,
2255
01:10:18,673 --> 01:10:20,800
that hurts so bad.
2256
01:10:20,842 --> 01:10:22,010
[Joel] What I just
2257
01:10:20,842 --> 01:10:22,010
did or your side?
2258
01:10:22,052 --> 01:10:23,427
[John] No, just, like, running.
2259
01:10:23,469 --> 01:10:26,723
I just need to muscle
2260
01:10:23,469 --> 01:10:26,723
through it for 12 more hours.
2261
01:10:29,517 --> 01:10:31,895
There's nothing I can do
2262
01:10:29,517 --> 01:10:31,895
about the stuff under my...
2263
01:10:31,936 --> 01:10:33,563
[Joel] The macerated feet, no.
2264
01:10:33,604 --> 01:10:35,982
It's going to take probably
2265
01:10:33,604 --> 01:10:35,982
six to 12 hours to dry out.
2266
01:10:38,651 --> 01:10:41,779
Uh, if these means I can
2267
01:10:38,651 --> 01:10:41,779
run though, I'll be so happy.
2268
01:10:42,989 --> 01:10:43,907
[Aaron] John, don't
2269
01:10:42,989 --> 01:10:43,907
let these guys
2270
01:10:43,948 --> 01:10:45,408
stop you from
2271
01:10:43,948 --> 01:10:45,408
going back out.
2272
01:10:45,449 --> 01:10:47,577
[people laughing]
2273
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:50,788
I know, I do have
2274
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:50,788
to get moving.
2275
01:10:50,830 --> 01:10:52,373
Am I okay to put
2276
01:10:50,830 --> 01:10:52,373
a sock on now?
2277
01:10:53,166 --> 01:10:55,877
[John] Travis, thanks
2278
01:10:53,166 --> 01:10:55,877
for dealing with my feet.
2279
01:10:55,919 --> 01:10:58,546
[Travis] I got a one-hour
2280
01:10:55,919 --> 01:10:58,546
warranty on that.
2281
01:10:59,505 --> 01:11:01,799
[Joel] Aside from this,
2282
01:10:59,505 --> 01:11:01,799
are you feeling good?
2283
01:11:01,841 --> 01:11:02,800
[John] Yeah.
2284
01:11:02,842 --> 01:11:03,927
[people cheering and clapping]
2285
01:11:03,968 --> 01:11:05,386
[Ed] All right, John, way to go.
2286
01:11:05,428 --> 01:11:06,554
You're the man.
2287
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:08,681
This has never
2288
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:08,681
happened before.
2289
01:11:08,723 --> 01:11:10,683
Three people
2290
01:11:08,723 --> 01:11:10,683
on loop five.
2291
01:11:10,725 --> 01:11:11,684
Never in history.
2292
01:11:11,726 --> 01:11:13,144
[Alyssa] Never in history?
2293
01:11:13,186 --> 01:11:15,438
You're part of history, John!
2294
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,523
[Laz] You got
2295
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,523
everything you need?
2296
01:11:17,565 --> 01:11:19,609
Dropped off everything
2297
01:11:17,565 --> 01:11:19,609
you don't need?
2298
01:11:24,321 --> 01:11:26,032
I got a water
2299
01:11:24,321 --> 01:11:26,032
right there, right?
2300
01:11:26,074 --> 01:11:28,034
[Joel] Yes, your
2301
01:11:26,074 --> 01:11:28,034
flask is in there.
2302
01:11:28,076 --> 01:11:29,244
All right.
2303
01:11:29,285 --> 01:11:31,454
[Laz] 47:13:00
2304
01:11:31,495 --> 01:11:32,830
[Man 1] 177
2305
01:11:32,872 --> 01:11:34,290
[Man 2] You're gonna do it!
2306
01:11:34,331 --> 01:11:35,666
[Man 3] Great job, John.
2307
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:38,628
[people cheering and clapping]
2308
01:11:38,669 --> 01:11:41,172
[Crowd] Bell! Ring the bell!
2309
01:11:41,214 --> 01:11:43,133
[bell ringing]
2310
01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:49,597
[Man 1] Keep on going,
2311
01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:49,597
Johnny, way to go!
2312
01:11:49,806 --> 01:11:50,556
[people laughing]
2313
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:51,849
[Man 1] Don't turn around.
2314
01:11:51,891 --> 01:11:53,893
[people laughing]
2315
01:12:15,706 --> 01:12:17,625
I told Carl, I said,
2316
01:12:17,667 --> 01:12:21,337
Man, It's hard to believe
2317
01:12:17,667 --> 01:12:21,337
it's already Sunday.
2318
01:12:21,378 --> 01:12:24,340
He said, It's Monday.
2319
01:12:26,801 --> 01:12:29,220
I said, It's time
2320
01:12:26,801 --> 01:12:29,220
for me to take a nap.
2321
01:12:47,613 --> 01:12:48,865
[Travis] You got
2322
01:12:47,613 --> 01:12:48,865
some sleep.
2323
01:12:48,906 --> 01:12:51,492
It didn't make
2324
01:12:48,906 --> 01:12:51,492
me better did it?
2325
01:12:53,744 --> 01:12:55,997
[Travis] I wouldn't
2326
01:12:53,744 --> 01:12:55,997
say you look rested.
2327
01:12:57,081 --> 01:13:00,918
So what happened while
2328
01:12:57,081 --> 01:13:00,918
I was in slumber-land?
2329
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,463
[Travis] Wouter just came back
2330
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,463
from the tower and...
2331
01:13:04,505 --> 01:13:06,716
Both pages were gone.
2332
01:13:06,757 --> 01:13:08,885
And Brett was
2333
01:13:06,757 --> 01:13:08,885
heading down.
2334
01:13:09,844 --> 01:13:12,263
So they met somewhere.
2335
01:13:14,265 --> 01:13:16,809
So it could be a race.
2336
01:13:18,811 --> 01:13:21,272
[suspenseful instrumental music]
2337
01:13:25,943 --> 01:13:28,154
[Alyssa] What is the
2338
01:13:25,943 --> 01:13:28,154
record, 55 or 56?
2339
01:13:28,196 --> 01:13:29,280
55.
2340
01:13:29,322 --> 01:13:30,406
Do you think that's
2341
01:13:29,322 --> 01:13:30,406
going to fall?
2342
01:13:30,447 --> 01:13:32,408
I don't know,
2343
01:13:30,447 --> 01:13:32,408
there's no telling.
2344
01:13:33,201 --> 01:13:35,078
And if it falls, who will it be?
2345
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:38,455
[Travis] I didn't think
2346
01:13:36,704 --> 01:13:38,455
it would be this close.
2347
01:13:38,497 --> 01:13:39,623
[Alyssa] I know.
2348
01:13:39,665 --> 01:13:41,125
What a year!
2349
01:13:42,835 --> 01:13:45,462
[dramatic instrumental music]
2350
01:14:20,539 --> 01:14:21,999
[Brett] I always
2351
01:14:20,539 --> 01:14:21,999
expected to see Jared
2352
01:14:22,041 --> 01:14:24,585
around the next corner, and
2353
01:14:22,041 --> 01:14:24,585
then the race would be over.
2354
01:14:24,627 --> 01:14:27,713
Then I knew he
2355
01:14:24,627 --> 01:14:27,713
was going to win.
2356
01:14:32,927 --> 01:14:33,552
Where's daddy?
2357
01:14:33,594 --> 01:14:35,638
Let's go find Daddy.
2358
01:14:39,475 --> 01:14:40,726
[Man 1] Here he comes!
2359
01:14:40,768 --> 01:14:42,478
[Mrs. Maune] There
2360
01:14:40,768 --> 01:14:42,478
he is, round the bend.
2361
01:14:42,519 --> 01:14:44,230
And he's running!
2362
01:14:44,272 --> 01:14:47,608
[people cheering and clapping]
2363
01:14:51,570 --> 01:14:53,239
[Mrs. Maune] Love you!
2364
01:14:58,244 --> 01:15:00,371
[Brett] I didn't believe
2365
01:14:58,244 --> 01:15:00,371
I actually won until
2366
01:15:00,413 --> 01:15:02,915
I got to the gate
2367
01:15:00,413 --> 01:15:02,915
and did not see Jared
2368
01:15:02,957 --> 01:15:05,626
amidst the
2369
01:15:02,957 --> 01:15:05,626
assembled crowd.
2370
01:15:05,668 --> 01:15:07,878
[people cheering and clapping]
2371
01:15:13,801 --> 01:15:15,845
[Man] How much
2372
01:15:13,801 --> 01:15:15,845
sleep did you get?
2373
01:15:15,886 --> 01:15:17,596
One hour.
2374
01:15:17,638 --> 01:15:18,722
[Man] One hour, nice.
2375
01:15:18,764 --> 01:15:20,057
[Laz] Oh God.
2376
01:15:20,099 --> 01:15:22,559
Let nothing go wrong here.
2377
01:15:22,601 --> 01:15:25,438
[Ed] That's probably almost
2378
01:15:22,601 --> 01:15:25,438
three and a half hours off
2379
01:15:22,601 --> 01:15:25,438
the course record, I think.
2380
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:28,274
Let me shake your hand,
2381
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:28,274
this is just unbelievable.
2382
01:15:28,316 --> 01:15:30,776
[Brett] Yeah, I couldn't find
2383
01:15:28,316 --> 01:15:30,776
the first book for two hours.
2384
01:15:30,818 --> 01:15:31,777
[Laz] The first book?
2385
01:15:31,819 --> 01:15:32,528
[Man] Oh wow.
2386
01:15:32,569 --> 01:15:34,113
Yeah.
2387
01:15:34,655 --> 01:15:35,990
[Laz] But that's the easy one.
2388
01:15:36,032 --> 01:15:37,492
Yeah, I know!
2389
01:15:37,533 --> 01:15:39,076
[people laughing]
2390
01:15:39,118 --> 01:15:42,788
[people cheering and clapping]
2391
01:15:44,748 --> 01:15:46,959
[Joel] 52:03:08.
2392
01:15:47,668 --> 01:15:51,714
[Ed] The old record is 55.
2393
01:15:56,635 --> 01:15:59,638
Oh, thank you Aidan, thank you.
2394
01:16:00,848 --> 01:16:02,766
Daddy, eat this!
2395
01:16:02,808 --> 01:16:04,643
Yeah? Okay.
2396
01:16:11,234 --> 01:16:12,318
Yummy.
2397
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:13,986
Yummy?
2398
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:23,787
[people cheering and clapping]
2399
01:16:23,829 --> 01:16:24,872
[Man 1] There he is!
2400
01:16:24,914 --> 01:16:26,957
[people cheering and clapping]
2401
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:48,187
[Man 2] Right on!
2402
01:16:48,229 --> 01:16:49,105
[Ed] Congratulations.
2403
01:16:49,146 --> 01:16:50,189
I'm glad to be
2404
01:16:49,146 --> 01:16:50,189
done with that.
2405
01:16:50,231 --> 01:16:51,566
Take that stuff off.
2406
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:53,401
You're a bad bad man.
2407
01:16:53,443 --> 01:16:55,319
[people laughing]
2408
01:16:55,361 --> 01:16:57,821
[Man] You're the
2409
01:16:55,361 --> 01:16:57,821
11th person to finish this.
2410
01:16:57,863 --> 01:16:58,822
Sweet.
2411
01:16:58,864 --> 01:17:00,074
[Laz] You did a hell of a job.
2412
01:17:00,116 --> 01:17:01,867
Was it easier than you expected?
2413
01:17:01,909 --> 01:17:03,453
No.
2414
01:17:03,494 --> 01:17:04,787
It wasn't.
2415
01:17:04,828 --> 01:17:06,705
That was brutal.
2416
01:17:06,747 --> 01:17:08,332
Simply brutal.
2417
01:17:08,374 --> 01:17:09,292
[Man] What was the time?
2418
01:17:09,333 --> 01:17:10,751
Yeah, what was the time?
2419
01:17:10,793 --> 01:17:13,087
56:00:16.
2420
01:17:15,381 --> 01:17:16,715
Fun work.
2421
01:17:19,802 --> 01:17:21,804
-It was fun running with you.
2422
01:17:19,802 --> 01:17:21,804
-Yeah
2423
01:17:23,222 --> 01:17:24,557
It was quite the experience.
2424
01:17:24,599 --> 01:17:26,517
[people cheering and clapping]
2425
01:17:26,559 --> 01:17:28,852
I would have been
2426
01:17:26,559 --> 01:17:28,852
lost without this guy.
2427
01:17:28,894 --> 01:17:30,896
Seriously.
2428
01:17:30,938 --> 01:17:33,399
So thanks man, that was fun.
2429
01:17:33,441 --> 01:17:35,901
[Laz] Y'all made
2430
01:17:33,441 --> 01:17:35,901
an impressive team.
2431
01:17:35,943 --> 01:17:36,986
[Jared] Yeah.
2432
01:17:37,027 --> 01:17:38,613
[Laz] The camaraderie
2433
01:17:37,027 --> 01:17:38,613
of competition.
2434
01:17:38,654 --> 01:17:41,616
I hear people that talk
2435
01:17:38,654 --> 01:17:41,616
about, they well...
2436
01:17:42,533 --> 01:17:45,536
The competition is just
2437
01:17:42,533 --> 01:17:45,536
too hardcore for them
2438
01:17:45,578 --> 01:17:47,704
or they feel like
2439
01:17:45,578 --> 01:17:47,704
it's too rough,
2440
01:17:49,165 --> 01:17:51,750
but there's a closeness
2441
01:17:49,165 --> 01:17:51,750
between people
2442
01:17:51,792 --> 01:17:53,210
that you compete with.
2443
01:17:53,252 --> 01:17:55,087
One of my best friends
2444
01:17:53,252 --> 01:17:55,087
in my life was a guy
2445
01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:58,966
I competed against for
2446
01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:58,966
three years in high school,
2447
01:17:59,008 --> 01:18:01,469
and it was
2448
01:17:59,008 --> 01:18:01,469
something we shared.
2449
01:18:01,511 --> 01:18:03,471
And they share
2450
01:18:01,511 --> 01:18:03,471
that out here.
2451
01:18:03,513 --> 01:18:05,222
And especially in
2452
01:18:03,513 --> 01:18:05,222
this situation,
2453
01:18:05,264 --> 01:18:08,100
where the possibility
2454
01:18:05,264 --> 01:18:08,100
of success is so low.
2455
01:18:08,684 --> 01:18:11,437
Is anyone else out
2456
01:18:08,684 --> 01:18:11,437
on the fifth loop?
2457
01:18:25,909 --> 01:18:29,580
[John] As soon as I got
2458
01:18:25,909 --> 01:18:29,580
out in the middle of
2459
01:18:25,909 --> 01:18:29,580
nowhere, when I was out
2460
01:18:29,622 --> 01:18:32,625
on the Spectacle
2461
01:18:29,622 --> 01:18:32,625
and kind of just,
2462
01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:34,793
it's hot and just
2463
01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:34,793
out there by myself
2464
01:18:34,835 --> 01:18:37,713
and I knew everybody else
2465
01:18:34,835 --> 01:18:37,713
in the entire race was done,
2466
01:18:37,754 --> 01:18:40,757
and it was just me, I was
2467
01:18:37,754 --> 01:18:40,757
the only one on the course,
2468
01:18:41,842 --> 01:18:44,220
I started to,
2469
01:18:41,842 --> 01:18:44,220
like, really panic.
2470
01:18:44,261 --> 01:18:48,558
[suspenseful music]
2471
01:19:01,237 --> 01:19:03,739
There was this
2472
01:19:01,237 --> 01:19:03,739
focus, in growing up,
2473
01:19:03,780 --> 01:19:05,908
to be conservative when
2474
01:19:03,780 --> 01:19:05,908
it comes to your future
2475
01:19:05,949 --> 01:19:08,785
and have some good
2476
01:19:05,949 --> 01:19:08,785
plan for retirement,
2477
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:11,581
and then travel and see the
2478
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:11,581
world and do all this fun
2479
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:11,581
stuff when you retire.
2480
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:18,629
I was really good about
2481
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:18,629
that but then, uh...
2482
01:19:18,671 --> 01:19:21,340
Yeah, so kind
2483
01:19:18,671 --> 01:19:21,340
of in one year
2484
01:19:21,382 --> 01:19:24,760
I had a series of a few
2485
01:19:21,382 --> 01:19:24,760
deaths in the family
2486
01:19:24,801 --> 01:19:27,304
and then I was in a
2487
01:19:24,801 --> 01:19:27,304
relationship for 10 years
2488
01:19:27,346 --> 01:19:30,558
and that ended so it
2489
01:19:27,346 --> 01:19:30,558
was like all this crap
2490
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,603
just all happened to me
2491
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,603
in one calendar year.
2492
01:19:34,811 --> 01:19:35,771
It was awful.
2493
01:19:35,812 --> 01:19:37,565
I was in a
2494
01:19:35,812 --> 01:19:37,565
really bad place.

One of the deaths in
2497
01:19:53,789 --> 01:19:56,875
this case involved
2498
01:19:56,917 --> 01:19:58,794
was my father,
2499
01:20:01,213 --> 01:20:02,839
who had done just
2500
01:20:01,213 --> 01:20:02,839
what he had told me
2501
01:20:02,881 --> 01:20:05,426
and saved all this
2502
01:20:02,881 --> 01:20:05,426
money for him and my mom
2503
01:20:05,468 --> 01:20:07,344
to travel the world
2504
01:20:07,386 --> 01:20:10,723
and he passed away one
2505
01:20:07,386 --> 01:20:10,723
year before his retirement.
2506
01:20:17,104 --> 01:20:19,064
That's when I realized
2507
01:20:17,104 --> 01:20:19,064
that you gotta live.
2508
01:20:19,106 --> 01:20:21,609
You've gotta live your life.

[upbeat instrumental music]
2510
01:20:31,118 --> 01:20:33,454
I used to, when I
2511
01:20:31,118 --> 01:20:33,454
would go out on trails
2512
01:20:33,496 --> 01:20:36,832
and hike and run,
2513
01:20:36,873 --> 01:20:39,209
I never really
2514
01:20:36,873 --> 01:20:39,209
thought about
2515
01:20:39,251 --> 01:20:41,712
just turning
2516

the beauty of it.

And there would have been a
2520
01:20:44,632 --> 01:20:46,467
day where I was just like,
2521
01:20:46,509 --> 01:20:48,218
Oh, that's cool,
2522
01:20:46,509 --> 01:20:48,218
and kept walking.
2523
01:20:48,260 --> 01:20:50,721

2524
01:20:48,260 --> 01:20:50,721
try to just be like,

01:20:50,763 --> 01:20:53,182
okay stop,
2526
01:20:53,223 --> 01:20:55,726
and realize how lucky

[John] The whole
2598
01:24:40,868 --> 01:24:43,078
reason for the Barkley
2599
01:24:43,119 --> 01:24:46,957
is so that you basically
2600
01:24:43,119 --> 01:24:46,957
crawl across the finish line.
2601
01:24:46,999 --> 01:24:48,417
Barely!
2602
01:24:48,458 --> 01:24:52,212
And you are so
2603
01:24:48,458 --> 01:24:52,212
shredded and ripped up
2604
01:24:52,254 --> 01:24:55,007
that you couldn't have gone
2605
01:24:52,254 --> 01:24:55,007
out for another 20 minutes,
2606
01:24:55,049 --> 01:24:56,967
and like that is
2607
01:24:55,049 --> 01:24:56,967
exactly my experience.
2608
01:24:57,009 --> 01:24:59,553
I mean, I finished
2609
01:24:57,009 --> 01:24:59,553
with barely enough time
2610
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:01,972
and my feet were destroyed
2611
01:25:02,014 --> 01:25:04,433
and I was dehydrated
2612
01:25:02,014 --> 01:25:04,433
and I was hallucinating.
2613
01:25:04,474 --> 01:25:07,436
It was just every
2614
01:25:04,474 --> 01:25:07,436
possible thing.
2615
01:25:08,687 --> 01:25:11,815
There's no way I could
2616
01:25:08,687 --> 01:25:11,815
have run another two miles.
2617
01:25:11,857 --> 01:25:12,983
There's just no way.
2618
01:25:13,025 --> 01:25:15,193
I was totally at
2619
01:25:13,025 --> 01:25:15,193
the absolute limit.
2620
01:25:15,235 --> 01:25:17,571
So many people told me,
2621
01:25:17,613 --> 01:25:19,823
even before I knew
2622
01:25:17,613 --> 01:25:19,823
I wanted to do it,
2623
01:25:19,865 --> 01:25:22,492
just that like, you
2624
01:25:19,865 --> 01:25:22,492
have to be super elite
2625
01:25:22,534 --> 01:25:23,744
to finish Barkley.
2626
01:25:23,786 --> 01:25:25,537
And I just refused
2627
01:25:23,786 --> 01:25:25,537
to believe that.
2628
01:25:25,579 --> 01:25:28,290
I was like, I think if you
2629
01:25:25,579 --> 01:25:28,290
really want it bad enough,
2630
01:25:28,331 --> 01:25:30,333
Joe Schmo like
2631
01:25:28,331 --> 01:25:30,333
me can finish.
2632
01:25:31,501 --> 01:25:34,004
It's not going to be pretty
2633
01:25:31,501 --> 01:25:34,004
and it's not going to be fun
2634
01:25:34,046 --> 01:25:35,923
but it's going
2635
01:25:34,046 --> 01:25:35,923
to be possible.
2636
01:25:37,507 --> 01:25:39,551

that which he acquires

with hard work and toil.
2649
01:25:54,942 --> 01:25:57,111
The harder you
2650
01:25:54,942 --> 01:25:57,111
work for something,
2651
01:25:57,152 --> 01:25:59,655
the more
2652
01:25:57,152 --> 01:25:59,655
you enjoy that.

01:25:59,696 --> 01:26:03,366
If something is easy,
2654
01:25:59,696 --> 01:26:03,366
how much reward is there?
2655
01:26:03,826 --> 01:26:06,120
I think people that
2656
01:26:03,826 --> 01:26:06,120
go through this,
2657
01:26:06,161 --> 01:26:07,746
they're better for it.
2658
01:26:09,039 --> 01:26:10,916
They're not
2659
01:26:10,958 --> 01:26:13,002
made of better stuff
2660
01:26:10,958 --> 01:26:13,002
than other people
2661
01:26:13,043 --> 01:26:16,672
but they're better for what
2662
01:26:13,043 --> 01:26:16,672
they've asked of themselves.
2663
01:26:18,132 --> 01:26:20,134
Put the guilty with
2664
01:26:18,132 --> 01:26:20,134
the innocent victims.
2665
01:26:20,175 --> 01:26:22,052
[people laughing]
2666
01:26:22,094 --> 01:26:23,137
[Man] What a year!
2667
01:26:23,178 --> 01:26:23,887
[camera clicking]
2668
01:26:24,805 --> 01:26:25,806
[camera clicking]
2669
01:26:27,724 --> 01:26:31,020
[surreal instrumental music]
2670
01:26:34,064 --> 01:26:36,191
[Interviewer] Something
2671
01:26:34,064 --> 01:26:36,191
we never asked you about
2672
01:26:36,232 --> 01:26:37,693
is the name
2673
01:26:36,232 --> 01:26:37,693
of the Barkley,
2674
01:26:38,735 --> 01:26:40,779
and where
2675
01:26:38,735 --> 01:26:40,779
that came from.
2676
01:26:43,198 --> 01:26:45,784
It's named after
2677
01:26:43,198 --> 01:26:45,784
Barry Barkley.
2678
01:26:51,289 --> 01:26:53,667
Hello, my name
2679
01:26:51,289 --> 01:26:53,667
is Barry Barkley.
2680
01:26:53,709 --> 01:26:55,627
A friend of mine named
2681
01:26:53,709 --> 01:26:55,627
a foot race after me
2682
01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:56,837
and it's called the
2683
01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:56,837
Barkley Marathons
2684
01:26:56,879 --> 01:26:59,089
and I have no idea
2685
01:26:56,879 --> 01:26:59,089
why he did it.
2686
01:27:00,674 --> 01:27:02,676
[Laz] We didn't know
2687
01:27:00,674 --> 01:27:02,676
we'd make him famous.
2688
01:27:04,219 --> 01:27:05,804
[Interviewer] How did you
2689
01:27:04,219 --> 01:27:05,804
decide to name the race
2690
01:27:05,846 --> 01:27:07,597
after Barry?
2691
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,060
Well, he'd been
2692
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,060
an invaluable help
2693
01:27:11,101 --> 01:27:13,812
in other races we've put on
2694
01:27:11,101 --> 01:27:13,812
and there was just something
2695
01:27:13,854 --> 01:27:16,606
about the character of
2696
01:27:13,854 --> 01:27:16,606
the race that I thought,
2697
01:27:17,774 --> 01:27:18,984
it fit.
2698
01:27:20,944 --> 01:27:24,156
Now the name is well
2699
01:27:20,944 --> 01:27:24,156
known all over the world.
2700
01:27:24,198 --> 01:27:26,366
Probably, if we had named
2701
01:27:24,198 --> 01:27:26,366
it something different,
2702
01:27:26,408 --> 01:27:28,744
it would not have had
2703
01:27:26,408 --> 01:27:28,744
this kind of success.
2704
01:27:34,917 --> 01:27:38,754
The Barkley Marathons, it
2705
01:27:34,917 --> 01:27:38,754
has its own ring to it.
2706
01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:43,258
[upbeat acoustic music]
2707
01:27:48,597 --> 01:27:50,933
[Interviewer] Have you
2708
01:27:48,597 --> 01:27:50,933
ever finished the Barkley?
2709
01:27:50,974 --> 01:27:53,602
[Laz] No, I never
2710
01:27:50,974 --> 01:27:53,602
came anywhere close.
2711
01:27:54,477 --> 01:27:55,687
[Interviewer] So even
2712
01:27:54,477 --> 01:27:55,687
when you said that,
2713
01:27:55,729 --> 01:27:59,816
Oh, I could do 100 miles
2714
01:27:55,729 --> 01:27:59,816
in that time, that was?
2715
01:27:59,858 --> 01:28:02,360
I was young and cocky.
