RICHARD WESTBROOK WITH DARREN DYKES, BENCH OF DESPAIR, LAVS 2020 (PHOT0 COURTESY OF DARREN DYKES).
After 4.5 days into the race, Westbrook has made it to The Bench of Despair at mile 186. He is 24th in a group of 42 unsupported runners. 128 miles to the finish at Castle Rock, Ga. Thus far, RW has averaged 41.3 miles a day. He only has to average 23.27 miles to finish in the allotted time frame. So far, so good!
5 1/2 days into the race 24 screwed runners have quit. It has been record high temperatures this year. 67 are still in the unsupported division of the race with Westbrook in 62nd. He is hoping to finish still as the course grows more difficult and he manages his pain. Currently, 185 miles behind him, he is now past Columbia.
