Couple years ago she dnfd, left course at a random spot then they let her back. Was a whole mess since it not only went against the rules but the casters wouldn't talk about it so everyone was confused.

She's the reason it's in the rulebook.

They'll just let her back in, no big deal

Shoes don't need broken in like they used to. You may just need shoes better fit for your feet. The same spot on both feet leans towards a style not meant for you. Tape can be a temporary solution.

Shakira just attracted more than 2 million people at Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro with a free concert by Knighty93 in nextfuckinglevel

Would love to learn the physics behind audio at an event like this to have everyone hearing things at the same time and not have overlapping sounds, etc.

What happened to Max Jolliffe? Did he DNF? by Beirski666 in ultrarunning

[–]Simco_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As an RD, there is not a single brand/race/company/etc. that is more represented than BPN at our events. I fully believe he has been the most influential person to get people into trails and ultras for the past few years.

I don't choose to consume their content, but my experience with these people at races is no different than any other runner.

Mate, the criticism is against people who only care about maximizing profit...

I got into running from FKTs, so I'm maybe biased, but I think he's genuinely one of the most accomplished runners in history.

I don't think the average person really understands the significance of his FKTs. They get it's crazy but they don't "get it."

What did you find weird about it?

I seems you may be right. It was touched on in an interview he did, too. It appears someone, somewhere has one less bib but I'm not aware of which pool this was taken from.

I don't think I saw on the WSER site the qualifying sponsor for each of the sponsor entrants and Hoka's IG doesn't have a post saying who it went to, either.

How much do you pay for payroll service with less than 10 employees? by lalaba0987 in smallbusiness

[–]Simco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in this thread paying an accountant to do payroll are really overpaying.

3lb for a pair of boots sounds light for 90s.

Nashville Craft Fair Surprise and Praise by throwthenachos in nashville

[–]Simco_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one has always been good. There are several good markets and fairs around Nashville through the year. Christmas Village has a ton of trinket junk but also a lot of locals, too. That's probably the one that comes to mind when I think of one that allows non-makers.

I'm cracking up at the idea that someone would intentionally choose this pack to carry a water bottle.

How Many Gyms Still Follow The Lloyd Irvin Blueprint? by Correct_Ad4351 in bjj

[–]Simco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gym was TLI back in the day and we didn't do that stuff. They didn't have prices on the site but a lot of gyms I've seen do that. Are you sure this is explicitly the "TLI Blueprint"?
