Hinson Lake 24 Hour Classic Run....70 miles!!!
OK-race report to follow-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 here)
I am going to bed-one of my toenails is floating on a blister-yuck!
Good night! Race report later

The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.....John Bingham aka The Penguin
