Daily Medical Note 09/26/2005:

And the winner is……

The Sun. The heat today was the winner as most runners struggled through the course. Several were pulled from the course for heat and exhaustion, however none needed IV’s because they could at least keep fluid down (well, still one is here in the tent with us at 9pm and we’re hoping he’ll turn the corner and be able to return to his own tent for the night).

I was able to roam the course in a 4x4 truck for the first half of the day. The scenery was amazing with spectacular sand dunes. Unfortunately our truck got stuck in the deep sand twice and we had to dig it out to get moving again. I never thought my medical career would lead me to pushing the front of a jeep while it’s being towed backwards out of a sand dune. Good thing I work out…
