Score: 7.6 / 10 
Ultra
I really miss ultramarathons. Remember them? A group of damn fools would run from Sydney to Melbourne and it would be covered on the news and people would say 'wow! kudos on running so far for no good reason'. I wonder why they faded from public acclaim. Perhaps people grew blase about the distance. Maybe we should reinvent ultramarathons for a new generation and make the runners run, say, twice around Australia. Start 'em off in Sydney, let 'em do one lap through all the capitals, then just when they think they're done, have them do another lap. Just to keep them honest. This would rejuvenate a tired sport and get people once more talking about the fitness and idiocy of people who can run for days on end. And because I thought of it, I think it's only fair that I get to be the guy who rings the bell when they start that final lap.
