Kaci Lickteig is third to mile 85.2 (+22'). Entered aid station with a quiet smile and walked out. Appears a little more tired than the runners before her. #WS100

Courtney Dauwalter leads #WS100 at the American River (mile 78) in 13:10 elapsed, falling off record pace. She walked in to the river crossing and and her thigh tapped up to her hip. Spent about 8 minutes in the aid station before setting sail across the river. #WS100

Jim Walmsley is crushing #WS through Pointed Rocks (mile 94.3) in 13:18 elapsed. Folks, that’s 24 minutes through his course record.

Screw supplements, experimental therapies, and fancy recovery gadgets. I'm putting all my stock in the healing power of puddle splashing, mid-run high-fives, and turkey chasing.

Sequence of events. That’s why. Because the order in which things happen matters. @walmsleyruns did something unprecedented and I wrote about it. I had the easy job. – at Flagstaff, AZ
