A Race for the Ages

Manchester, Tennessee

1-4 September 2017

Sunday night, 11:15, finished: 100 miles

The three 72-year-olds starting, noon Friday

Late afternoon, another lap, the rain eased off

The start, in a steady rain

About 8:30 Saturday morning

The timing tent

The small hill eventually felt like a big mountain

Noon Saturday, the rain finally stopped

Finally done
