45 hours running, the hottest place on earth. Fun, huh?!

Also this... "The race takes place in July, when temperatures have soared into the 130s F (54.44s C). Even as a place of extremes, Death Valley is not immune to global warming. Seven of its hottest summers have occurred in the past 10 years, according to the National Park Service.

AP News · The grueling 135-mile journey of a 66-year-old runner through one of the hottest places on EarthFor 37 years in a searing California desert, runners from across the globe have embarked on a 135-mile race through one of the hottest places on Earth. But few have completed what’s billed the world’s toughest foot race more times than Danny Westergaard. At 66 years old, Westergaard ran to the finish line of Badwater 135 through Death Valley for the 18th time this year during the park’s hottest season. The race takes place in July, when temperatures last year hit a record 129 F. But even as one of the most extreme places on the planet, Death Valley is not immune to climate change. Seven of its hottest summers have occurred in the past 10 years, and if climate change continues at its current pace, more places will end up like it.

Israeli government members from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish party #Shas announced on Wednesday their resignation, protesting the ruling coalition's failure to pass a law to exempt their community from military service. However, the party stopped short of withdrawing its support for the coalition in parliament, and said it would not back a no-confidence vote to bring down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.

Last weekend, I kicked off the summer 2025 running season with the Catamount 25k at Von Trapp Resort. It was a relatively warm day, but the course was amazing as usual. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get ready for the fall.

Many thanks to Ironwood Adventureworks for putting on an excellent race! #Vermont #Ultra

Avec @emeline qui allait passer dans le Loiret je m'étais dit que ça serait l'occasion d'aller tester la véloroute du canal fraichement inauguré ce samedi pour essayer de la croiser du coté de Briare ou Montargis !

J'avais juste oublié un détail ... elle va tellement vite qu'elle sera déjà arrivé au moins à Bourges samedi 😅

Ça fait tout de suite beaucoup plus loin 🙈

I spent a few hours hunting down all of the sports bars in the US that cater specifically to women's sports. There's about 15 more that are "opening soon" and I'll try to catch all of those with a Google Alert I just set up.

Let me know if you know of more bar:type=womens_sports_bar!

Gdy prawie dekadę temu zaczynałem znowu jeździć na rowerze, oglądałem sporo kolarskich rzeczy na YT i w końcu trafiłem na ciągle uśmiechniętą typiarę, specjalizującą się w wyścigach ultradystansowych. Pamiętam ciągle jakieś wideo, gdy rozchorowała się na trasie któregoś z wyścigów w poprzek USA i załamana w nocy siedziała w namiocie, a potem jechała dalej.
Co jakiś czas trafiałem na info o jej kolejnych wyczynach i wiem, że sporo osób uważa ją za nr 1 w kolarstwie ultra, nie kobiecym, a ogólnie.
W zeszłym roku pobiła rekord w jeździe dookoła świata, a wczoraj na YT trafiła relacja z tego. Właśnie oglądam i sobie pomyślałem, że może was też zainteresuje.
