Three members of Triangle-AR tackled the Umstead 100 Mile endurance run over the weekend of April 5 and 6. Known of it’s hills and of course not to mention an insane 100 miles of running, the races draws hundreds of runners from across the country. For the 2008 version Ernie Chilcott joined the ranks of finishers with a 26HR effort, Brian T. reported having to drop at the 62.5 mile mark as a result of stomach issues…yeah he ONLY ran 62.5 miles…….and Charlie Roberts stopped after completing the 50 mile option due to foot problems….if you see his blog on the Umstead Run you will quickly see why. He casually mentioned that maybe the 77 mile run from just a few weeks before Umstead might not have let his feet get cleared up in time to tackle the 100 miler……..go figure
