A Backyard Ultra Story: Nearly the last one’s standing

Episode 15. Well, that was a long run! Their first Backyard Ultra, AKA a Last One Standing Endurance Race (or L.O.S.E.R.). The idea is simple: all competitors run one lap of a 6.706km course. If you don’t finish the lap within the hour, you get a DNF (did not finish). If you finish in less than an hour, you spend the time recovering, re-fueling and preparing for the next lap, which starts on the hour. You never know when the race will finish, as it continues as long as there are people wanting to compete. Once the second last person drops out with a DNF, the remaining runner has to do one more lap to get the victory; otherwise everyone has the DNF. Sounds a tad insane, right?
