This morning at 0730, Westbrook was at Mountain Mart at mile 291. He reported getting so tired he laid his poncho in some tall grass, laid down and fell asleep. He woke to someone yelling to ask if he was ok. (He told me you never lay in tall grass because you never what is in it and how some runners woke with mystery bites all over them. So…he must have been really tired). He is still on track to finish in time but definitely getting down to the line!
