When will it happen?
Next May — if you ask me today,
In a couple years — if you ask me tomorrow,
Never — if you ask me right after finishing an MMT training run (no way in bloody hell I’m gonna do that run x 4!),
Definitely Next May — if you ask me after reading Jack Andrish’s When did it happen?
So, the way I see it:
Karl Meltzer winning MMT: Not a surprise.
Neal Gorman finishing a solid 2nd: Not a suprise.
Eva Pastalkova breaking the record: Bloody impressive, but knowing Eva not really a surprise — I mean, we all knew what she could do with a pack free of canines.
Now….
Martha Nelson doing stuff at aid stations besides passing out in the runners’ chairs and generally getting in the way (photographic evidence forthcoming): A lot of people are gonna lose $$ on that one.
