I drug my tired butt to CrossFit this morning and ran across another person who had run the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase. This guy is much younger and stronger than I am, but he finished an hour behind me. Do I feel better about my time? No. He decided that to make it more interesting he would do the whole thing with a 50 pound pack. Now imagine running down steep hills. No, I was not able to get a good explanation of why he did what he did.
He mentioned having met a woman at the top of Jupiter who was asking whether it was normal to have chest pains. He said no, and saw she was wearing a heart rate strap that talks to her GPS training watch. He checked and her heart was beating at about 215-220. It turns out she was on a heart medication. He ran to the next aid station and apparently they took her off by road to the hospital.
My run was more boring than I thought.
