Fun fact: ultra-marathons are one of the sports where women have a physical edge over men, on average.
I suppose it’s related to lower basal metabolic rate, more body fat percentage, and possibly higher pain tolerance.

No sports world record is broken by doing what’s healthy.
But judging by the trail ultra-marathoners I know personally, they’d be a lot less healthy if they didn’t have that hobby.
Lots of (undiagnosed) ADHD in the sport, too.

A friend of mine regularly runs trail ultra-marathons. She calls it “assisted hiking”.

Yeah, I’ve done that before – after asking literally everyone in IT, plus our external consultants, and getting the go-ahead from my team lead and the head of IT.

It’s a tie between unprotected sex with a stranger I met at a bar, and sleeping on a bench behind the train station in Barcelona.
Luckily, getting robbed behind the train station was the more serious consequence of my poor life choices.
