But stars are about respect. Seniority is about laundry. Sadly, though, in the maniac universe, Badwater only counts for "one ultra." Kind of doesn't seem right. - #540 With your schedule, you’ll almost certainly start with more stars than me. But stars are about respect. Seniority is about laundry.

I'll almost certainly do the "2 Marathons in 2 days" option. But Boston is the primary goal for me. Other goals will have to take a back seat. Good luck, and let me know when you escape the bronze basement. #540 #543

Seriously, I think three in three states in nine days is at least as likely to happen for me as any of the criteria in between. And I am eager to stop being a lowly bronze! Alas, the optimal timing would seem to be next week, what with a July 4th marathon in the middle of the week obviating the need for a double, but I doubt I can swing it timing-wise. Race you to ruthenium!

DO NOT MATCH MY SOCKS! Oh heaven help you if I find so much as one matched pair. Thanks, #540 #543,
