Lap Five - 37.5 to go!

April 9, 2009 - 4:45pm

Jeff finished his 5th lap at about 4:15pm which means he took a bit more time and slowed down on this lap. We also found out that as of lap 4 he was in 7th place overall. Wow!

He's looking great, feeling good physically and mentally. Took about a 15 min break before heading back out with Chris pacing him. He changed his socks and happy to report that there are no blister or other issues with his feet. Just sore from all the trail pounding.

His goal is to take the last three laps slow and easy - walk the hills and just go at a comfortable pace. At this rate, if all goes well, Shaun and I will do the last couple of laps with him. Hopefully, with a little luck, we'll be done sometime around 2 or 3 am! Woot!

Keep it up Jeff - a 50 mile PR in a 100 mile race is either freaking crazy or amazing! Congrats!
