Episode#157 The Barkley Fall Classic a Fine Line Between Success & Failure

A month has passed since we set foot in frozen head, and I can’t believe that I’m only getting this episode released that aside I’m super excited to introduce you to Kristi Pashia who was the first person in the Barkley Fall Classic to cross the finish line in the 50k and still manage to DNF.

The cut off time is 13hrs 20min which reflects the Big Barkley, Kristi made it in an agonising time of 13hrs 20min and 9 seconds.

We follow Kristi’s interview with Brian Mueller who was the last person to finish the 50k in a crazy time of 13hr 19min 48 seconds, both runners made the decision point in 11hrs 17min with seconds between them and Kristi completed the last loop seconds ahead of Brian which shows that there really is a fine line between success and failure at the Barkley Fall Classic.

There were only 107 finishers in the 50k from around 373 starters so a huge drop out, with 70 people making the titty marathon finish.

Not long until the lottery is completed, so good luck to everyone who has their name in the hat, or should I say commiserations!
