    I would like to add a little clarification on this story. The Barkley Marathons is a 100 mile endurance event that is extremely difficult. Runners must not only run, but collect pages from books using specific routes in a forrest. Gary Robbins, a phenomenal athlete (and a fantastic human being) was 6 seconds off of a finishing time, but used an incorrect route. His error was in route finding, which caused him to take an incorrect route and miss the cutoff by 6 seconds.
    Had he made the cutoff, he still WOULD NOT have finished due to using the incorrect route.

    He is still a superhuman badass, but...he came in to the finish line from the wrong direction (on the wrong trail). And also 6 seconds late. They make a big story about the 6 seconds because it grabs viewers' attention much more than "Dude gets disqualified on the final lap of a race."

    • @gj4312
      @gj4312 6 лет назад +55

      It's not cliclbait. "Dude disqualified from the final lap of race" doesn't portray the whole story. It's like hearing Madeline McCann was found today and the title was "missing girl found". True but not the whole truth. Cliclbait obscures information to entice viewers as they assume the obscured information is amazing, when in reality it isn't. This gives more factual information.

    To be honest, he got way more publicity for finishing 6 seconds before, if he beat it, he would have not gotten much publicity

    • @someone-ji2zb
      @someone-ji2zb 6 лет назад +206

      Well, this was actually bad publicity, because even if he had made it, he kind of took the wrong trail and was going to be disqualified anyway. I don't know if he meant to or not, but he basically cheated and still didn't make it.

  • @hannahlael3445
    @hannahlael3445 7 лет назад +1713

    To clarify for all of the confused commenters: (my facts come from the mini documentary on the 2017 Berkley Marathon)
    This race is 100 miles in a 60 hours limit. It is through extreme terrain, mountains, cliffs, mud slides, and dense forests, there are very few trails. Weather is usually horrendous. It tests endurance, orienteering, and mental capacity. Runners have to find 13 pages hidden along the pre-determined course and return all of them. The runners must also stay on the determined trail to be considered for a finish.
    In his last few miles of the race, the fog and rain and extreme exhaustion caused Gary to pass out. When he came to, he had lost his sense of direction and Gary went down the wrong side of a mountain, adding 30 minutes to his run. Even if he had finished in time, he wouldn't have qualified as a finisher because he took the incorrect route.
    There have only been 17 finishers of this race's history, the most recent in 2017, next one before that in 2012. Heartbreaking for Gary, but definitely a true testament to how extremely near-impossible the race is.

      Seeing interviews with track cyclists that have beards, There's a good chance beards actually help with aerodynamics by slightly diffusing air before it hits the mass of the chin and neck. So if he shaved it he may of been 12 seconds late for all we know.

    if you watch the whole thing on his channel he wasn't just 6 seconds short, he was also went the wrong way after the last book check point, so he went 2 miles off course in the wrong direction (the course designer says "you have to come in on the right trail anyway") which would cause a disqualification even though he got all of the pages from the checkpoint, so he was more than 6 seconds over. Still a huge accomplishment, i hope he tries again, he is a great athlete.

      Seeing interviews with track cyclists that have beards, There's a good chance beards actually help with aerodynamics by slightly diffusing air before it hits the mass of the chin and neck. So if he shaved it he may of been 12 seconds late for all we know.

      firebirdude2 If you're implying that he cheated, navigation is part of the contest and he probably just had problems finding the correct path and there's nobody out there to help you and bring you back if you encounter problems so you have to find your way back on your own one way or another even if you don't find the correct path, but you're correct that it wouldn't have counted.

    • @joesr31
