This guy is mentally tallying the number of MedEvac helicopters he’ll be needing today.
If you’re a marathoner and haven’t heard of the Barkley Marathons, then shame on you and here’s the documentary for you: The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young (2014). This fascinating look at people who think even preparation for a race should be difficult, these charmers torturing themselves for nothing more than bragging rights, and the chance to push one’s self right over the brink into the chasm of hell, held a peculiar fascination for us. My Arts Editor, having been previously married to a marathoner, was able to lend some useful knowledge as we watched, but this is primarily about the stories of the people who venture into briar patches and under a prison while looking for books from which to tear pages.
Sounds odd? Well, if you like odd, you’ll like this.
