Short power-ranking-style blurbs: past Black Lungs Cabot leg data from this repo when it exists (years, legs, best split on file)—descriptive history only, not lineup advice—plus a 2026 outlook line. Wording and rhythm vary by runner so the page is not one template copy-pasted. Runner photos are copied from the project ``headshots/`` folder when a file is named ``{slug}.jpg`` (or ``.jpeg``, ``.png``, ``.webp``) where ``slug`` matches the roster slug (lowercase, hyphen-separated, same as the URL fragment without the ``profile-`` prefix); everyone else gets a deterministic initials placeholder. Official start lists and clocks stay on Race Roster.
Tape check—Anderson. Years on file: 2018–2019; 4 relay legs logged, distribution 1, 6, 15, 17. Anderson’s best pull here stays Leg 15 (2018, 00:52:58). Intrigue for 2026 is whether the old top gear still clears the rude sections once the pack thins. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
Tape check—Bain. Years on file: 2014–2025; 16 relay legs logged, distribution 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, … (16 legs). Bain’s best pull here stays Leg 8 (2024, 47:22). Cabot rarely rewards novelty; it rewards showing up with the same engine when Sunday gets rude. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
Sean Bowen on the Black Lungs Cabot card: 2 posted splits, 2 legs (3, 13), window 2025. The headline clock is still 00:47:32—Leg 3, 2025—when you sort the tape by raw speed. Handicappers like a peak split; captains like someone who still has gears after Leg 12. Lineups and fresh clocks belong to Race Roster; treat this capsule as a desk note, not a roster.
Tape check—Croker. Years on file: 2015–2025; 13 relay legs logged, distribution 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, … (12 legs). Croker’s best pull here stays Leg 8 (2019, 00:41:53). Intrigue for 2026 is whether the old top gear still clears the rude sections once the pack thins. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
So what does the archive say about Michael Doyle? 18 Black Lungs splits across 14 legs between 2012–2025 (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … (14 legs)). If you only pin one split to the cork board: Leg 8, 2012, 00:46:17. Depth chart energy: more legs touched usually means more ways to help when the draw gets weird. When start lists drop, Race Roster still owns the stamp—this page stays historical.
Tape check—Fitzgibbon. Years on file: 2025; 1 relay legs logged, distribution 10. Fitzgibbon’s best pull here stays Leg 10 (2025, 00:56:48). Bottom line for readers: this blurb is archive gossip with citations, not a lineup recommendation. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
No Black Lungs leg rows under “Alex Hutton” in this export—so the capsule runs on van-scout vibes and training smoke until the archive catches up. That reads as upside: May is the first place the spreadsheet earns interest. Race Roster stays canonical for roles.
Tape check—Johnson. Years on file: 2024; 1 relay legs logged, distribution 14. Johnson’s best pull here stays Leg 14 (2024, 1:16:41). Projection tone: bank the pattern until Race Roster rewrites the story with a fresh start list. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
Daniel Kelly — descriptive capsule only. Volume read: 10 splits, 10 Cabot legs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15) in the 2014 through 2025 band. Fastest Black Lungs split on file: Leg 3 in 2018, 00:45:37. Projection tone: bank the pattern until Race Roster rewrites the story with a fresh start list. Official 2026 roles and times: Race Roster and your captains when they publish.
Banner leg on the spreadsheet: Leg 3 (2022) in 00:47:45. Pull back: across from 2019 through 2025, Scott Leitch logged 6 Black Lungs splits touching 6 legs (1, 3, 5, 11, 13, 14). Depth chart energy: more legs touched usually means more ways to help when the draw gets weird. When start lists drop, Race Roster still owns the stamp—this page stays historical.
Black Lungs résumé (2023–2025): Tyson Loney has 5 rows, legs 1, 2, 10, 12, 14. Peak mark: 00:58:16 on Leg 12 during the 2025 Cabot weekend. Handicappers like a peak split; captains like someone who still has gears after Leg 12. Lineups and fresh clocks belong to Race Roster; treat this capsule as a desk note, not a roster.
Zero Black Lungs splits here for Jeff Mountjoy, which either means fresh legs for 2026 or a spelling drift in old results. Either way, handicapping stays soft until rows attach; defer to Race Roster for anything that sounds like a start list.
Black Lungs résumé (2024–2025): Ryan Tice has 4 rows, legs 4, 6, 16, 17. Peak mark: 48:42 on Leg 16 during the 2024 Cabot weekend. The chart is descriptive, not a crystal ball—official roles and clocks still live on Race Roster. Lineups and fresh clocks belong to Race Roster; treat this capsule as a desk note, not a roster.
