Vol State day 3, 24 hour check-in, Westbrook’s location
After 3 days complete, Westbrook is taking a break in Hohenwald, TN with 144 miles behind him. He had some difficult times, only being able to keep some V8 juice down and vomiting anything else up. I am sure the heat tends to get to everyone out there suffering through it. The heat index today is going to be 105 degrees. 4 more screwed runners have quit leaving a total of 49. Westbrook is currently 16th place tied with 3 other people. Pray he makes it along in the extreme heat today without any more issues.

He tends to move ahead in the latter days of the race so we will see where he is again in the morning for the 24 hour check-in.
Here are a few photos from the Last Annual Vol State facebook page for this year’s race. – “The Mississippi River was up about 20 feet and which submerged the first 1/4 mile of the course. We added an out and back to make up the unavailable portion.”
The start of the race is underwater. Hickman, KY.

As of this point, 6 runners total have dropped out of the race. 4 screwed and 2 crewed runners have quit, notice the gravestones on the map.
Also, I am editing the previous updates I have posted. I had Richard’s place wrong. I was reading the list in order when the names were mixed up by mileage. He began in 36th place at his 12 hour check-in, then moved to 19th place tied with one other runner by the 24 hour check-in. The next update is soon to follow.
