There were some big accomplishments for SPS runners at the Back on My Feet in24 races this past weekend.
Both Luis Gaitan and Heather Hoechst gutted out injuries, delirium, dehydration, overhydration, heat, cold, rain, sun, night, fatigue and having to hang out with each other to finish 12 laps and 101.4 miles each (partial credit also to the bevy of SPS and FBR runners who helped pace them, but Luis and Heather deserve all the accolades). In the field of 157 competitors, Heather was the second overall female (and eighth overall), while Luis was second in his age group (and tenth overall).
