WESTBROOK MADE IT! Everyone left, made it.

80 runners total completed the unforgiving 500K. Richard Westbrook finished at around 3:45ish am with a time of 9 days, 20 hours, 3 minutes, and 54 seconds. He was the last to finish and is now the only runner to have finished first and last for Vol State. His finishing quote:

“I’m never doing that again.”

With the cut-off time quickly approaching at 7:30 am, Westbrook WILL MAKE IT!

He has passed Oprah and is in Kimball at mile 302. He sounds much better now than he has of late. I will be at the finish to congratulate and maybe slap him later, once he has recovered. Right now there are 4 people left on the road. Westbrook is the third one with Juliet Brundige one mile behind him. BJ Timoner has stayed out there to ensure no more falls for Dad. Thank goodness someone is watching him.

Everyone has been AMAZING cheering him on and he really doesn’t even know it! I always tell him though and he appreciates it whether he expresses it or not. A man of few words. Let’s all keep praying for a safe finish for the last 4 competitors and a HUGE congratulations!!!!!!
