Jasmin Paris has become the first woman to ever complete the notorious 100-mile ultramarathon in Tennessee, doing so with 99 seconds to spare

I watched the documentary about this race a few years ago. People like this blow my mind. I have done a lot of long distance hiking but this is another level of pure craziness. It inspires me but I know I don't have the mental toughness to do something like this.

Same here. I also don't have the physical toughness either!

only allow 35 people a year to enter, 100 miles in 60h & 60,000ft incline & decline.

though did make me think about the Tarahumara Mexicans, who do epic distances including the women.. & what they'd think of the event..
