I have heard the soloists say they like it better then death race. It's longer but the legs alternate between hard and easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376658065276829001.post-46269033248312425132011-09-15T11:47:44.308-07:002011-09-15T11:47:44.308-07:00Hey Dax!

I'm sure a lot of people don't think they are prepared come race day, and I also think others get injured in training.<br /><br />I think the finishing rate is so low because it's a tough race. Also, there is no qualifying, so the barrier to entry is low. I think it's kind of cool that they let anyone in.Dirty Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941067370886942981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376658065276829001.post-82334518941011510282011-08-04T23:13:20.668-07:002011-08-04T23:13:20.668-07:00Soloist always inspire me!

That had me laughing out loud!<br /><br />A question regarding the numbers: Only 360 of 600 entrants started? Why so low? And a mere 36% finisher rate?
