    Interesting it's being held the same day as the usms marathon (7m) race around lido island. If anyone has done the latter I'd be interested to hear about it. I'm psyched.

    Anyone got a tracker? The one at distancematters doesn't seem to be working.

    We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
