My favorite Barkley stat is that more people have visited the Moon (24) than finished five laps and touched the yellow gate (20). With due apologies to humanity, I'm kinda cheering for the course this year 😈 #bm100

“Are we witnessing the beginning of the end for fossil fuels?”

This is a brilliant podcast on the possibility that we are starting to see the decline of fossil fuels.

Highly recommended 👍🏻

They're going after Parkrun again, you know, that event where lots of people of all ages, abilities and genders run around a local park and it not, in any form, a race?

A secret: Being tough gets easier the fitter you are.

When you are 'out of shape', the alarm bell in your head goes off at the slightest sensation of discomfort. When you are fit or prepared, the alarm is quiet for much longer, only gradually increasing as discomfort grows.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Reminders for athletes for good sleep: no coffee, tobacco, alcohol or training less than 4 hours before bed (the last once is obviously difficult in tournament situations but we control what we can control)

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate:

“There are so many great reasons to be on Signal.

Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

From Sébastien’s report:

There were 16 books this year, the most ever.

Ratjaw is still only climbed in CCW loops.

2 big climbs were added, one is ball bearing hill, the other is probably a previously removed one brought back.

To say Laz over corrected ignores the history. After John Kelly finished in 2017, it took another five years before anyone finished. Whenever the bar is raised, a readjustment period follows. It’s the way of living on the edge.
