The full Loopy Looper recap is here. Bryana and Michael go deep on their individual races. Bryana covers her chaotic morning, from a closed Wawa, blood on the floor, arriving 15 minutes before the start, no water for the first loop, cramping and lung struggles through the first half, a Tylenol-and-Alani turning point at loop six, Ryan's heroic crewing debut (including getting screamed at for the Vaseline), a crotch rocket motorcycle on the race trail, and crossing the finish line on loop 10 in just under 11 hours. Michael recaps his 40-mile day, waking up sick at 3am, acid reflux from allergies spiraling into nausea, Frito rescue attempts, and the decision to DNF with his feet and legs still feeling strong. The crew also gives a shoutout to Vanessa for completing Badwater 135. Berlin Marathon training updates follow: Diana ran 18 miles in Luray, Virginia and is recovering from the crud. Tom is getting ready for Charles St 12. Something Good covers Widows Bay, Cape Fear (TV), Beef Season 2, the Wicker trailer, Little House on the Prairie, and the new Spider-Man.
