I’ve actually watched a documentary on one of his races being done from start to finish. It is brutal and unrelenting. The most crucial thing is their footwear. Because they cross many streams the challenge is to keep your feet dry. God help those that wear new shoes. The layering of socks is an art form. Even with all cautions, it is the feet that can make or break finishing in so many contestants.

Imagine being that person who takes out someone else's bid from the books so they can't finish the course.
