Peeked into BlueSky over Sunday morning coffee to find @sm2n.bsky.social and @omaniblog.bsky.social are doing something called #MayPodPoMo. It’s like #AudioMo has come early, plus we still get AudioMo too… I hope…

Balance has been restored to the galaxies. Thank you @keithdunn.bsky.social for making it possible for us to follow along with this year's #bm100
The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Proof, if any where needed, that a sense of humour is required to even think about entering #bm100. Made me laugh out loud.
Three runners have just come into camp after quitting on Loop 1.
Carl: Where the hell have you been?
Runner: Book 9.

Have the odds shifted in favour of the course? #bm100
Ten runners completed Loop 1 within the time limit; 9 continued to Loop 2. 14 runners have been tapped out; 16 remain on Loop 1 and will be tapped out when they return. #BM100

I’m suspecting the #BM100 was delayed so @keithdunn.bsky.social could watch Newcastle win a cup.

While we wait, there is a very enjoyable documentary about last year’s #BM100. It includes that moment between Jared, Gary and Jasmine. Still brings a tear to my eye. youtu.be/uyX4GRm7NeY?...
