Dare To Be 100: Ecstasy Then Agony

3500 masochists apply, 350 gain a lottery start, 280 finish, the ultimate goal is to finish under 24 hours which is rewarded by a silver buckle, the second prize is finishing under 30 hours and a bronze buckle. Walter has two silver buckles, Ruth Anne has two bronze trophies. Her second time, 1986, she finished in 24 hours and 24 minutes at the age of 56. I crewed her the last 35 miles and en route did everything short of kicking her to break the 24 hour deadline. Close, but no silver.
