24 Hour Hinson LAke Running Classic---I RAN 70 miles!!!
OK-I need to get some sleep, up for 33 hours...but I DID IT!!
I stopped running at 22hrs 30 minutes but I did 46 laps for 69.92 miles! I asked the Race DIrector, I cannot do another 1.5 mile lap, I ran the last one at a 15 minute pace....how do I get .08 because I am NOT going home and posting I did 69.92. He was really cool, he said run down to the end of the road and back ...I of course walked and BAM 70 miles at a 19:20 avg minute
One bad thing-besides my blisters and chafing EVERYWHERE, about mile 40 I went to go sit on a bench, feeling lightheaded. When I went to sit down, I was going DOWN to pass out. A veteran caught me, helped me up. I had nausea, stomach cramps, and light headed...eletrolyte deficiency. I was dringing lifewater, and trying to get salt in. A VERY nice woman came to my aid and gave me electrolyte tablets. I took 3, walked some more, made it back to my camp, she gave me half her bottle
I have to say--runners in marathons, triathletes, bikers...all REALLY good people. ESPECIALLY the veterans (which we have some of on this site)
I am going to bed-one of my toenails is floating on a blister-yuck!
Good night!

And this is soooooooo much fun.......how? Geez, maybe I'm missing something and not seeing the enjoyment and pleasure people get from puking, cramping, dizziness and lets not leave out the blisters and chaffing, LMFAO. Sorry, I don't mean to rain on your parade, I know you get pleasure out of the fact that you were able to complete running around the world (70 miles is around the world isn't it)? I guess I am jealous that you can and want to do it and I don't and can't. Hope you feel better and get caught up on your rest. Take care of those blisters, you don't want them to get infected. OH, and....................................
you ROCK!
