Clarkco State Park<\/a> in Clarke County, Mississippi for the Ivy Trek Ultramarathon. It is a loop course. One lap was just under 8 miles, they called it 12.5k.

I messed up my job at one point. I lost track of time and I wasn’t were I was supposed to be when son came in at the end of lap 3. I did see him and ran and caught him. He had wisely gotten all the stuff he needed from our little setup and went on his way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mess-up didn’t seem to bother him and he finished in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When people are really tired they sometimes will experience a glitch like that and find it very frustrating, even debilitating. I’m glad he was able to work around it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
