Today a World's Championship 100 km race happened in Italy, and yes, it's all road, on a 20km loop, and flat, but if you can not get inspired by amazing performance of best talents running there, you might be dead:)
I Run Far had given an outstanding coverage and an even faster results page than the IAU itself. I am looking forward the individual recaps by the winner Amy Sproston (who had just overcome DVP a month prior!), a 4th place Meghan Arbogast (a 50 years young! who broke her own 50+ record and was in the lead at 96km!), a 5th place Pam Smith ( a girl who ran her first ultra at the 6hr race I co-directed, along with her first 100M), along with any info we can dig out of the guys, and the post-race interviews that Meghan Hicks of iRunfar.com will be conducting.
Results from the I Run Far: (Team USA Women took Gold, and Men took Silver)

Amazing!! Can't wait to read more details too!
It is sooooooooo cool - it was giving me goosebumps following the coverage! Those women and men rocked it! Yay, Team USA!
Thanks, Olga! I'm attempting to start a blog post, but it's a really tough experience to put into words. I still can't quite believe that it actually happened. An experience that I will treasure forever....
