sent out message to get 12 hour results but no hear back. I know Don is back to walking due to too many electrolytes.

Red Singlet guy...trying to find out. Almost tempted to drive back to Nokomis but pretty sure my family would shoot me down before I got out the door.

They weigh you before the race and may choose to pull you to check your weight during the race. As I finished my 12, DB got pulled and weighed. He is down 13 lbs. They are making him add at least 2 lbs. He is dehydrated and covered in salt. Don is walking and getting some salt in. Buzzie just dropped with bad foot pain. I fell apart right before the 6 hour mark. I wasn't ready for all that pavement. It was a beating. I didn't hit my goal.

Sounds like tough conditions. Hopefully he can rehydrate and recover some with the cooler evening.

I have headed over to scovill's (my super awesome mvp who saved my ass out there) to shower (I don't know why either, I only raced half of what the other runners are doing). I am going right back to the race to help DB's wife. I will give exact mileage then.

12 hours is a helluva lot of time running. Great work! Get feeling "normal" again and then keep DB/Don Going for the remaining 8 or so hours! :-)

2013 Goals:
Run trails.

Hi guys!

Had a not-easy day, but was gaining ground as the sun was sinking - managing to get back on track for 12-hour goal and recapturing the lead .. then FOOT!

I've had issues - in both feet - and am pretty darn certain it's one of 3 things, 2 of which I don't want to mess with. Especially with goal slipping away (due to walking). Changed shoes and set out to walk one more lap to assess ... turned around with a big fat No-go. o.

Cleaning up and will go back to support. Smile

MTA - can i shower with my socks on so I dont have to see my feet?

That is insane. 7:19 pace??? Is that really right?

MTA -- I'm an idiot. You mean 10:44 pm. What is the elapsed time?

Corrections, DB 88.83 at 15:14 clock time. Don was at 59, I think he is having issues.

So that puts DB on pace for 140 miles... unless he pulls off one of his trademark negative splits.

The thing I hate about 24 hr races is I feel guilty going to bed without being able to pull for my people through the finish...

2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.
