Notes
My first ultra race at the FANS 24 Hour race. Did well in the first 9 hours, hitting 52+ miles but had electrolyte issues after that point. Gained nearly 7 pounds and fought dizziness, blurred vision and slurred speech. Was nearly sent to the hospital but with the help of my wonderful wife, crew and a slew of friends I recovered to finish strong and hammered out some fast quarter miles in the last 30 minutes of the race. Learned a great deal about the importance of electrolyte / sodium balance from this race and am confident that my next time out will have even more miles. HUGE thanks to family and friends that turned out to support and to those who couldn't be there but gave me support from afar. Thanks everyone!!
