Ricky finds a lucky 4-leaf clover at the next pit stop

Laura went to the drug store and got Sheldon a knee brace
so he's going to try and continue the race

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. ---Sheldon
