Into the evening, Westbrook has progressed some runners, however he remains 59th out of 60 screwed competitors. He has reached Monteagle with 274 miles. ONLY 40 MILES TO GO TO THE FINISH!!! Unfortunately within those 40 miles is having to conquer Sand Mountain.
Above is a picture of Westbrook with a fellow Vol-Stater. Jeff commented, “I think we look more like those 2 old guys from the Muppets…than 2 ‘seasoned’ athletes. Richard Westbrook…thanks for sharing a couple miles with me.”
Also, I always have people ask “how is he doing?” and “where does he sleep out there?” Well, none of these are Richard, but here are some examples of where and how the screwed runners sleep…
After all those miles in the extreme heat, rain, traffic, etc. no judgement here. Sleep whenever and however you can!
