Day 5: h2o.man is battling through Shermer’s neck, a condition where fatigued neck muscles can’t support holding the head up. I last saw him early afternoon at Dick’s Gap. Since then, he’s powered on through to the Rich Mountain Country Store at Mile 851. 164 miles (with climbs up Poteau Mountain and Mount Magazine) stand between him and victory in this year’s race. Also: the fog was literally rolling in this morning at Queen Wilhelmina and I did a little condition check on Poteau – still pretty chunky.
