Finished! 12 teammates, 197 miles, 28 hours

All three legs down and feeling great!

1 leg down!!!!

Off to a good start my first leg still to come

stay the course

I still need to post about my experience at Vineman, but for now I'm off to Portland for the Hood to Coast and just got the green light from my doctor instructing me to drink Gatorade or the like and weigh myself before and after each of my running legs. I feel good about it all and am looking forward to it. I'll post mini updates as I can on the journey.

HYPONATREMIA

Hyponatremia is a metabolic condition in which there is not enough sodium in the body fluids outside the cells.

Sodium circulates in the body fluids outside the cells. It is very important for maintaining blood pressure. Sodium is also needed for nerves and muscles to work properly.

When sodium levels drop in the fluids outside the cells, water will seep into the cells to balance the salt levels. The cells will swell as a result of the excess water. Although most cells can handle this swelling, brain cells cannot, because the skull confines them. Brain swelling causes most of the symptoms of hyponatremia.

Long and winding path

Finished!!!

delayed 2 miles left with nausea that turned out to be hyponatremia
after I walked in with a temp of 93 degrees and then completely lost
it. I'm so grateful to my family for taking care of me and basically
saving my life. Thank you to everyone for all of the support.
