Turns out that Threadapalooza, though largely an unmotivated accident, ended up provoking some interesting thoughts related to my main topic of interest in recent years, temporality.

An aspect of the race is, depending on the topic you chose/were given, it may or may not unleash a sort of wound-up set of thoughts you didn't know you had. It may cross threshold of banality into new territory at 35 or 75. Each thread is a narrative scan of threader's brain.

I see a parallel to ultramarathon running (runners have different motives & levels of ability) and hiking the entire Appalachian trail (some do it straight through and others choose to break it into segments and stopping between each segment). Perhaps measure by author's motive?

Race time doesn’t seem to me to be a relevant characteristic to this activity. It’s like asking for the carbon footprint, possibly knowable but not germane.
