April 4, 2009 - 7:50pm
Jeff completed his sixth lap at 7:10pm. He definitely is showing signs of fatigue but then again, he's already done 75 miles. His feet are hurting but no back or knee pain. Just exhaustion. Chris forced him to do a bit more running than walking on this lap which was good. Also, he's not really taking in enough calories for what he's expending.
Shaun is pacing him on the 7th lap and hopefully will get him to take in some more nutrition at the back aid station. He's going to finish without a doubt.
I will be pacing him on the last lap so there will be no updates after this until Jeff finishes the race, I get him into the FJ, and get him back settled at Shannon and Chris' place. Expect that final update around 4am if you happen to be still be up and reading this.
