1.18.08@ 12:21pm The
24 hour treadmill challenge is under way and at the 15 minute
mark Eric had logged 1.71 miles while team many runner Brian O'Connell
had put in 1.88.
1:06pm Hour 2 has started and team many posted a good first hour
with 7.40 miles and Eric with 6.57. Eric has eaten half a bar,
had a vanilla gel shot and 1 electrolyte tab. Temp. has been an
issue with this event being indoors it is rather warm even with
3 fans blowing.
2:05 Team Many has posted 13.93 miles and Eric is just starting
to warm up with 12.70. Everything is going well as we are awaiting
local channel 13 TV news to do a filming and report on this event.
Emails are being read as you send them, thank you so much
4:13 Eric has just passed team many with 24.86 miles
5:28 Everything is going to plan. Eric has had a wardrobe change
as you can tell from the pictures. He is currently averaging just
over 6 miles an hour. Eric is eating Clif blocks and drinking
a special new formula created by Infinit Nutrition for the RRRC
called Fluid Energizer.
8:05pm Eric still has a lead over the many and is looking strong.
Thank you to everyone who is sending emails it is a great help
to keep us all going. Currently Denise Hahn is running for Team
Many.
11:34pm As the new day approaches all is well at the treadmill
challenge. Josh Brimhall put in some monster miles during the
10th hour giving team Many the lead once again. Eric is doing
well with the exception of a blister that has popped .
1:54am SATURDAY It is all downhill from here, Eric has passed
the halfway point and is settling in to his run/walk program while
still keeping a 10:32 pace.
2:41 I think everyone is in bed!!! Is anyone out there? The hours
are starting to get a little bit more difficult. We have gone
through a rough spot and hopefully are coming out the other side.
If anyone is watching send some emails. Thanks
5:12am Still hanging on, Eric has his groove back and is back
to increasing his mileage per hour. The longer the 24 hours wears
on the more impressive this event becomes. Forget about the physical
stamina at this point, this is where you have to be extremely
strong mentally and Eric is in a good frame of mind for having
done 17 hours.
6:34am At 18hours 33 minutes 56 seconds
Eric has reached 100 miles on a treadmill! Way to go ERIC!
8:15am Eric is putting together a plan to
beat his PR of 116.90. making a goal of 120 miles for 24 hours.
FRANK LOWERY'S GROUP HAS DONATED AN EXTRA $190.00 BASED ON THE
MILES THAT TROY LOVICK RAN. WAY TO GO1
10:35am Eric has just set a new PR, so far he is at 117.11!
12:07pm ERIC sets new PR of 123.84 which ranks 15th in the world.
What else can you say but........WOW! |
