Ran a 10k - Official Thread (10 Viewers)

In at 11:45. A good effort. Between his 31 and 33 hour times. A tough part of the course and he is still tracking good. 

 
Looks like he's running with a pretty sizeable pack of runners that all checked in around the same time and left the same time. That's gotta help.

Yeah, good point. Gotta be nice having some company out there.

 
I am really working hard here watching golf, Duck, and drinking some cold beers. Gonna deep fry some chicken wings later.

Pray for me. Thanks in advance.

 
As I await @SFBayDuck's arrival into Eagles Roost, I decided to put my name into the lottery for the Tokyo Marathon.

Let's do this!  (My wife will kill me if I actually get picked....fortunately, you submit your credit card AFTER you get picked.)

Most ultras provide checkpoint updates in batches of runners, considering the aid stations are very often in remote areas and the updates are being communicated via ham radio operators.  So they’ll have X runners come in over the course of XX minutes, and then radio them all in as of XX:XXam.  So he’s unlikely to be running in a group, but those runners are all likely +/- 15 minutes of him.  If that makes sense...

Good info to know. 

 
But couldn’t decipher that text so of course I look at the website after posting that and the updates throughbaid stations do look like they’re possibly real time.  So who knows.

So, the cutoff times allow an hour between these two stations.  And if the times are right, he's at about 57 minutes.  We need him to arrive soon.  Unless the website is delayed in getting the times up.  Or the Ham radio people do as you said above.  Regardless, I'm not running until he arrives.

Actually, it says this on the desktop version of the tracking....so I think you are right.

NOTES

The website is updated every 10 to 15 minutes (depending on network bandwidth). This page will automatically refresh every 5 minutes.

ETAs are based on the average time for the last 10 runners that arrived.

Not sure I follow?  If he was out of Islip at ~noon (7 hours), wouldn’t the cutoff for Eagle’s Roost be at 2:05pm (9hr5min)?  And it looks like that’s just 2.4 miles.

 
I just looked at the other active runners and there are a bunch of runners who left Islip Saddle before Duck (one a full 30 minutes before) and they aren't showing as arrived at Eagles Roost.  And the last runner in at Eagles' Roost was an HOUR ago.  So I'm guessing there is some type of data glitch.

With this in mind, I'm going to head out. You can be damn sure I'll check this thread on my phone.  :hifive:

The cutoff time at Eagles Roost was 8:05 and the cutoff time for Eagles Roost was 9:05 (hence my one hour comment).  I just wanted him to keep distancing himself from the cutoff times to keep banking time for later.  Make sense?

I thought you meant he only had 57 minutes to get there or he’d miss the cutoff.  Think I know what you’re saying now.

 
And he’s through cloudburst.

....and I’m sweating like crazy on my run.  @gruecd and the rest of you afternoon/evening runners are crazy.  No way is this better than an early morning run.

I think it's mostly @gruecd , @MAC_32, and me that do runs in the middle of the day.  But I'm not doing the distances they do.

But no way I want to roll out of bed and hit the road. I need to be up at least an hour or so before heading out.

I think those are the actual times.

Last check point he was only with 1 runner.

 
Should be arriving Eagles Roost soon.  Once he does, I'll go out and run.  I'm gonna run 100 also..............closer to 100 feet.
In honor of duck I went ?. Yards in the community pool. And km on the bike.

Hey! During the week I do too! In Alabama, when it's 90°/150SI. Cuz I'm stupid.

When it's hot here in the afternoon it isn't much better in the morning - 75/71 or 87/63. Gimme the slightly worse conditions with a side of more sleep and a midday small human sanity break. But my wife prefers the morning shift anyway.

My fault, yep, I completely forgot I see yours pop up around the same time.

 
I also run during the day so that:

1) If the run goes well, I'm a BMF.

2) If the run doesn't go well, well, then, it's because it's hotter than a mother####er.

In at Chilao at 17:21.  That's 12:21.  Smack dab in the middle of 31 and 33 hrs. 

Next checkpoint will be the halfway mark.  So far, holding strong.

Go, @SFBayDuck, go!!

 
Into Shortcut Saddle at just over 15 hours.  Fallen off a bit but still under 33 hour pace and officially past the halfway mark.

Now, need him to dig deep for the 2nd half when it gets tough.  Can't even imagine but I know he's got this. 

 
So excited for Duck!  Hope his legs and tummy are holding up.
DNF mile 52, pulled by Medical. 

And the tummy it was. I just started puking and couldn’t stop, couldn’t hold anything down. When I got to the aid station the medics were waiting for me as other runners had given them a heads up. They put me right on a cot and I instantly started spasming and cramping all over. Severe electrolyte imbalance. Then I just started shivering uncontrollably. They wrapped me in 5 blankets but I couldn’t stop shaking. They fed me broth and Gatorade, massages both quads that kept locking up, but I couldn’t stop shaking. After about 45 minutes I was finally starting to improve, but they said they couldn’t let me go on. And for the first time, I had my wristband cut off before the finish. 

So, so bummed.

You are still one tough BMF.

Amazing effort

Damn, sorry to hear.

52 tough, tough miles while the rest of us sat on our butts. Way to kick some ###, even though it's not the race you wanted or expected. Still an awesome run. :thumbup:

Have nothing but respect for you.

So crazy what you put your body through.  Awe inspiring.
