Vance Roget conquers
Western States 100
and the heat
|
Under near-record temperatures, ShadowChaser and ultra-runner Vance Roget conquered the Western States 100-mile Endurance Run with a time of 28:28:31.
Temperatures soared to well over 100 degrees during the day. The run, which is technically 100.2 miles, climbs more than 18,000 feet and descends more than 22,000 feet.
The race started at 5 a.m., June 26, in Squaw Valley, goes over the Sierra Nevada and finished at Auburn High School.
Once he left the club's 49er Aid Station with about 6.7 miles to go, Roget passed more than 20 runners, according to accounts by his pacer, Charles Wickersham.
"It was like everyone else was standing still," Wickersham says.
