This has to be more than just an ultramarathon, because 17 hours for a winner is a long time. A normal marathon is 42km, and takes 3 or so hours for a winner.
Given that this was in Snowdonia, it looks like it was some kind of grueling trail race up a mountain.
To explain for those not in Canada… It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.
You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn’t expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.

I cannot express adequately how different blades are from each other. Some are smoother than others, some are sharper and some improve after a few uses. Some last longer.
I have fairly fine whiskers, so I don’t need a crazy sharp blade like Feather. My skin is also a bit sensitive, so a smooth blade is best.
For me Big Ben, blades made by Lord in Egypt are really good. One of the versions of Shark, also made by Lord are pretty good too.
I find Wilkenson Sword blades to be horribly scratchy, and the name for some of the Gillette blades. Voskhod aren’t bad, except they are Russian.
You don’t realize how different they are until you try.
Religion. Ruins. Everything. Every. Time.
Blades vary greatly between brands. Get a sampler pack from eBay to find ones you like. Then buy them in bulk. 100 blades will generally cost from $8-$14, depending on the brand. Some, like Feather, are more expensive.
We’ll, the article was about the jobs maintaining the robots, not humans building stuff in factories.
Wait til the OP learns about the Easy Bake Oven.
How about we charge them $62B to keep NORAD running?
