'A 24-hour run is a form of ultramarathon, in which a competitor runs as far as they can in 24 hours. They are typically held on 1- to 2-mile loops or occasionally 400-meter tracks.
Top runners will often run 200 kilometres (124 mi) or more, depending on conditions, and the best can go beyond 270 kilometres (168 mi).'
So??
That's on a track or road, not up and down a fecking glacier!
Plus, it's 24 hours and then they can fall in a heap - they don't have to keep going for another 1,000km (and then turn around and do the same distance back). While pulling a sledge.
I don't really mean to be argumentative, but you can't really compare the two!0 -

I've zero reference point here.
Can we open up a support group? I thought I was kinda knowledgeable about the world.
My husband refuses to talk with me about this quiz anymore because he says the questions are too arbitrary and there's no way to know the right answer most of the time. So I have resigned myself to picking a random number that doesn't sound too ridiculous on those days when I haven't anything to base my answer on. (like today) 0 -
A domestique is a kinda grunt who does all the hard work up to a point and then lets the real star of the team take over to take the win

A farmer friend told me once that there was a similar thing in breeding cows. He had a poor little pony whose job was to go into the cows and get them all excited, then he would take out the pony and put the bull into the pen to do the actual deed. Sounded awful for the poor pony. And I didn't really want to get too far into the ins and outs of the process so to speak so I left it there. 0 -
Whoever said that to you tell them 'don't get your knickers in a twist, Love'I forgot to say that one contestant reckons it should be called Last Woman Standing because its a foregone conclusion that a woman will win
There are a few who gender I don't know but I can see six women left so the odds aren't with them

That is a job, it’s for horses but the rest is spot on, can’t have the thoroughbred putting in the ground work0 -

I would argue that every question has some element that can be worked out logically
In this one, what was the average wage in 1996 and where did a semi-pro bike rider fit into the average0 -

I don't read many autobiographies, I'd say Roy Keane's was the last one I read, apart from cycling, love a good cycling book
I think cycling is the toughest sport there is and you have to be a bit mental

Charly Wegelius's autobiography is called "Domestique" - in 1996 he signed a semi-pro contract with a club called Vendee U, what was his monthly salary in £ sterling?
so many unknown words. . .
