iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I don't fully understand, does this imply that Gina did a loop under the cut off and/or does it imply Maggie was not racing herself? Also I don't know what video is being referred to

@taka-does-stuff.bsky.social The runner from Japan was Akihiro Maeda. He says that he didn't finish the first lap. #BM100

Finally, he announces a video will be released about his Spine-Barkley double, which he's calling the Sparkley. #BM100 6/6

un-ID'd #bm100 flags. California is not on the sheet because I suspect they attributed both that and France to Guillaume

A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

I must have dozed off or something, but somehow I missed Max King dropping a couple hours ago, after making it to book 4 on loop 3. Two runners remain on loop 3; 1 remains on loop 1. #BM100

Good news for our #bm100 front runners: Of all Barkley runs that had a split between 22 and 23 hours for loop 2, 82% are successful fun runs. Though none of them finished loop 4 and only 27% were even allowed to attempt it.

Big stretch but interesting theory per @anna-propriate.bsky.social: Ashley Harris crewed for someone last year, only described them as page number 11. Now she's back so maybe the same runner is back? Dena Carr for example was in last year and follows her on instagram but that's hardly proof

Loop 2 times are up, pairing with code names and loop 1 times is a total guess #bm100

So, we have Damian Hall, Mathieu Blanchard, Sébastien Raichon, and Max King on loop three. Some hope there. ☠️ Here is a video I shot from last year's BFC of Mathieu Blanchard coming down Rat Jaw. #BM100

It was less than two hours ago that Damian Hall started loop 3 barefoot to prevent his shoes from getting soaked in the stream. Max King covered his feet in plastic bags. Barkley runners evolve. #BM100

The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100
