“It'll take a while before I forget the horror of an event like this and foolishly sign up for another,” Dykes said
“I told people I’m battling the three C’s out here. Two weeks ago, I contracted COVID, and I also had cold symptoms going into the race. Six months before, I had been diagnosed with blood cancer, and that’s been really hurting my fast pace, but I have this theory that it doesn’t affect ultra paces, and that seems to have really been borne out here,” he told the pub.
, many of the distances had never been contested on the track—but he admitted that the 100-kilometer record was a particular challenge. “After the [50-kilometer mark], my crew computed the pace I would need to complete 100 kilometers within 12 hours,”. “I picked up the pace just a bit and vowed that I would keep grinding out the laps until I just couldn't anymore. I really thought I had no chance—surely I would bonk, or get nauseated, or just get too tired to pull it off.”
Dykes described this week’s run—his longest since receiving his cancer diagnosis—as “possibly the hardest race I've ever done.” “It'll take a while before I forget the horror of an event like this and foolishly sign up for another,” he added.
