Meanwhile, back in the real world, the most insane running event in the world has happened this week. The infamous Barkley Marathons, where nobody knows exactly when it'll start, the athletes hunt for pages in books, the race consists of 5 laps for which you've got an average of 12 hours per lap and which, in more than three decades, only 15 people had ever even finished. With finishing being the goal, not 'winning'.
 
It's been a few incredible days, with four people (!) entering the 5th and final loop and a historical day...three of them finished!
 
Aurélien Sanchez  finished overnight in 58 hours and 23 minutes, followed by John Kelly  roughly 20 minutes later (until last night, Kelly was the last finisher, when he got there in 2017).
 
 
Belgian ultrarunning legend Karel Sabbe, who holds all kinds of insane records, finished in his second attempt with 6,5 minutes left on the clock!
 
 
For those who aren't aware of the Barkley, read about it, to grasp how insane the act of finishing the race even is. Just....RIP to everyone who's invited to compete next year (roughly 40 well-known and very much proven endurance/trail runnners), because the organizer makes the course a bit harder every time there's a finisher, since apparently it was too easy. Let alone the year after a triple finish, that hasn't happened before...

Good thing, I never even got the point of watercress. It barely adds any taste whatsoever, so ever since being a child I felt it was kind of pointless

Well I see your point, I mean, burritos are to be enjoyed.
 
However, watercress is a rarely item in Mexican cuisine, so people here would be msotly shocked to find some inside their burritos.

Surely 12 points for Israel because you're an awesome teammate who would then have given their three teammates a whopping 31 total points?!

The Dutch do? I have no idea, I never eat burritos, so who knows  

Well I like peas and watercress, but they are bizarre ingredients for a burrito, unless it's a "picadillo" (minced meat) burrito, in which there could be some peas.
 
Still, I wouldn't give olives nor corn to my friend @heywoodu

Another random list of things I enjoy, which is in no ways meant to sway the coming votes…Juraj Slafkovský, Prague, Nove Mesto, historical events involving velvet, epic sax guy, Buda and Pest, Attila the Hun, etc.
