Bob Becker's 230 miles over 73:45:13 gave him the comfortable victory by 18 miles.
The only worry came when Becker had 24 hours to go. The young bloods had been out for 16 hours, and he kept seeing them go around and around by him, making up the miles fairly quickly. A little nervous, he relied on some advice from the race’s official timer.
These words eased Becker’s nerves a bit, so he kept at his strategy, not stopping for more than a 10- to 20-minute cat nap—he took only four after that 90-minute nap 95 miles in. Just on schedule, he completed lap 229 with 30 minutes to spare before his 74-hour mark. Exhausted, Becker wanted to call it a day after just over three days of running. But the crowd wouldn’t let him.
