Can't decide if this is real yet  Seems so effortless WOW.

 

 

Saw this posted on a Dutch forum a couple of days ago, especially the most enthousiastic ultrarunner around there was excited about it. Because of the reactions there (not at all full of disbelief), by pretty experienced trail/ultra/mountain runners, I have no doubt it's real

 

Apparently those trail and mountain runners running over terrain like this is indeed insane in terms of how effortless they make it look.

@intoronto I just saw a news report from two days ago that said the hoop dancer from the 2015 Pan Am Games Opening Ceremony died. Is that true?

Fingers crossed for everything going well, but thanks to a new set of rules introduced last week - specifically about people in a long-distance relationship with someone from outside the EU - a certain Brazilian Totallympian might be arriving here Tuesday morning next week (!) instead of somewhere at Christmas or even later  

 

The ticket is booked, we're now working on the letter that declares we do indeed have a relationship longer than three months (which we have to sign and brings serious legal trouble if they found out you're lying, which we obviously are not), which she'll have to show when entering the country.

 

Again, fingers crossed. Five days ago the question was if we'd even see each other this year or only next year, now she has a ticket to arrive in less than a week  Let us wait and hope
