I ran the Badgerland F/X 24 Hour Run on September 4 - 5 in honor of Roger Lintz who was fighting for his life against liver cancer durning that time. Roger has since passed on to live with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my heart goes out to his family.

A fellow runner Steve Poulter came out during the 24 Hour race Saturday night. At this point, it was about 7:00 PM (11 hours into the event) and we had covered approximately 71 miles (284 laps). The video is a little bumpy at first but then I take a walk break:
We were running strong for about 15 hours and still hit the 100 mile mark at exactly 16 hours 49 minutes. Then I got very damp and cold and spend about an hour in our tent trying to warm up. The following photo pretty much sums up how I was feeling at that time:
I met some wonderful people out there on that track and was able to run with many of them. You are never more than 1/4 mile away from anyone. I know many people achieved their personal goals durning the 2010 event and I am so happy for them. We ended up running a little over 504 laps for a total of 125.352 miles. Final results are available online.

I want to thank my wife Christina for allowing me a day's break from my responsiblities to participate in this event. Thanks also to the many people that followed us along via Twitter during the event. Although we didn't break the course record of 137.99 Miles (555 laps), we gave it our best. Maybe we will try it again another time.
The next video captures me crossing the mat at lap 504:
What main running gear did I use?
As always, I maintained my energy through the use of SportQuest products. This photo was before the race with my good friend Demah Nuertey (without whom I wouldn't be able to do half the things I have done endurance wise). I was also fortunate enough to have some other friends help me during this event: Darren Fortney (who ended up winning the 6 hour event) and his kids, Mindy Soderman, Ken Woodford, and Diana Garin-Widmer.

I wore an awesome windbreaker from Mountain Hardware called the Stimulus Jacket that is extremely lighweight and breathable. If you are looking for a good running jacket for the upcoming fall season, you should check this one out.I wore Injinji toesocks along with a pair of Brooks Racer ST 4 the entire 24 hours and they performed awesome!
If you are interested, there are a bunch more photos online from the event.
