But Bentley was hampered by a recent groin injury. The most experienced 100-miler runner was Ron Bentley, the current 24-hour world-record holder of 161 miles (see episode 65). All were very experienced ultrarunners, but only a few had actually finished a 100-miler. The 100-miler was an invitation-only race and 18 competitors were carefully selected out of a large group who were interested. On October 25, 1975, at the Tipton Sports Union Stadium in Tipton, England, the British Road Runners Club put on the Acolade 100-mile race that has been called the “Greatest 100 Miles” by world ultrarunning history authority, Andy Milroy.

In 1975, a 24-hour race with many 100-mile finishers was competed inside the Soviet controlled iron curtain, in Czechoslovakia. In Italy, 24-hour races had been held every year since 1970 with 100-mile finishers. There, 100-mile walking races had been held annually since 1946, for 30 years, with more than 450 finishes in less than 24 hours.Įlsewhere, the Durban 100 held every-other year in South Africa, had been competed six times, with at least 33 finishers (only partial results have been preserved). But this was nothing compared to Great Britain. There had been 23 sub-24-hour 100-miler finishes in its history. In 1975, the annual Camellia 100 held in the Sacramento, California area was held for the fifth year.īut the oldest annual American 100-miler that tends to be forgotten, was the Columbia 100 Mile Walk held in Columbia, Missouri. In America, 100-mile races were being held, open to anyone who wanted to give it a try, even the naïve. It left one reporter speechless, witnessing something that he would never forget, watching some of the fastest 100-mile runners ever, and experiencing the sportsmanship of ultrarunning for the first time. In 1975 another classic race was held, perhaps one of the greatest and most competitive 100-mile race ever held. In the early 1970s, several highly competitive 100-mile races had been held in England, but they were still primarily organized for attempts to break British or world records.

Like I mentioned previously, I do not have to receive services from the member that I cleaned the house for, If I don't want to. Now, I have 5 hours documented that I gave, and I can begin receiving whatever services I want or need that I find in the group database. The website takes care of all the technicalities so you can just enjoy the process. Once I have provided these 5 hours, I document them in the website, where everyone posts their offered services, and service requests, along with documentation of hours you provided, and received. Say, I offer up 5 hours a month or so to the group for my house cleaning services, and I provide them either in one 5-hour block of time for one person, or two 2.5 hour blocks for separate members.

I am pretty good at this, as I worked for a professional cleaning company for 3 years or so. I was thinking that a service I could provide is house cleaning. The cool part is that you do not have to receive services from whoever you provide services for, so you don't have to try and match up with someone who wants yours, when you want there's.get it?

My friend told me about it a few hours before hand while we were at a Community Abundance Share, an event I started 2 years ago.

This Sunday I attended a Time-Bank orientation.
