    These guys are both roasted. They actually might be at a point where they can keep going because they are so mentally not there that they are clearly hallucinating through this. The interaction Ihor was having with his team was scary. He is not there at all.

    Yeah, basically talking to him like he's a little child trying to motivate him to do one more lap. I guess when your mind is gone, you probably do mentally revert back to only basic communication and cognitive abilities.

    So the remaining two contestants went out on another loop. Before departing, I think someone said this is the last loop? So they will stop the race without a definite winner?

    Just the last trail loop (for the day). Overnight, they run a different loop that is all on roads.

    That better not happen. If the competition is a last man standing format, they better not call it a tie. That would suck so bad.

    Thanks.

    Harvey Lewis looked coherent in the aid station.

    Brutal.

    Ihor just looked super out of it after the first little out and back- I think he was upset Harvey took off?

    If he a bit out of it, maybe he is just focusing on trying to hang on. Maybe Harvey was thinking about the mental edge when he took off at the start of the loop?

    re: Lazarus Lake

    Definitely running. I like this event except when they tie. What a joke.

    How are they filming it? Is someone running behind the guy/driving?

    Not sure how “The Kid” is mentally, but he seems to be moving well.

    This could be hard to not keep peeking at, if they take each other down for the count.

    There was a guy filming jogging behind “The Kid”.

    re: curious what happens

    What exactly am I watching on the livestream. I get there on loop number 107, and obviously the time... and obviously the one guy (Harvey, I presume) ahead of the other. How far is each loop, and how is the winner determined? thanks!

    I’m just vaguely familiar with this. I think last man standing wins. I think within each hour they have to complete a 3 mile loop. The only advantage to being “ahead” on a loop is it banks some rest time for the aid station, before going out on the next loop.

    Each loop is 4.17 miles, so 100 miles run over a 24 hour period.

    The winner has to run 1 more lap than 1st DNF.

    Seems like there was another different race Laz puts on where the participants have to find pages in a book? Sometimes that crazy orienteering race doesn’t produce a clear winner, if I’m not mistaken.

    Err- the last DNF I mean.

    So if last DNF runs 107 laps, the winner has to complete a 108th lap to actually win.

    re: rojo

    I believe the rules state no ties. Only when a sole runner completes a full loop will a winner be declared.

    Camille Herron used to say “Fear the Chair”.

    Harvey laid down on a bag of ice in the aid station, while “The Kid” remained standing…
