And He's Off!


Luke got in to the Wasatch 100!

I've done a fair bit of research since he put his name in the lottery, and this section of race information stuck out to me:

"Be Prepared: This event is extremely demanding, and should only be undertaken by athletes in excellent physical condition. All entrants should be familiar with basic first-aid, and know the symptoms and treatment for heat exhaustion, hypothermia, frostbite, and altitude sickness. Some course sections between aid stations exceed nine miles. Runners should be well-equipped to care for themselves and effect self-rescue if necessary. Only runners who can demonstrate successful ultrarunning experience or its equivalent will be considered for entry."

Really? Effect self-rescue?

I'm with him in spirit, glad that he drew out. I'm sure he is way excited.
