Ricky, ready at the next pit stop to take Mike's place as pacer

but Sheldon decides that he is in too much pain and stops
at "only" 75 miles which is more than 100 kilometers
So Sheldon came in 13th in the 100 K Race (out of 19)
note: Sheldon ran 75 miles but 100K is 62 miles.They somehow had his time at the 100k mark
(must have been some previous checkpoint) and must have used that for
his official time
the 13th place out of 19 was in the catagory of those who attempted 100
miles but dropped down to the 100K. There is another catagory of
runners who originally registered for the 100k, of which 14 finished.
I am going to the doctor Wed. for the knee.
