Waiting for details on Mike’s condition
When I spoke to Byron at about 2:20 PDT, he sounded very hurried and mentioned they were looking for a doctor and he’d call me right back. It wasn’t till I hung up that I realized Mike – or somebody on the crew – could be having problems. Judging from the comment on my previous post, and the fact Mike’s lost a big chunk of time on the way to time station #10, I would tend to agree he’s probably having some serious GI problems. I’ve tried to reach both cell phones in the vans and they’re completely out of cell range as both go directly into voice mail. As soon as I hear more details on Mike’s condition, I’ll be sure to post what’s happening. As many of you may know, RAAM tends to follow some of the back country roads in the west, many of which are not within cell phone tower range.

The heat was high, and the humidity low, a tricky combo, it can "fake you out" into thinking your OK.
I'm a big Cytomax user, when I got into distress, eat a couple of Oranges. Use a suppository if you have to. In any case, Mike should have passed waste by now.......

Hang in there Mike!! I am anxiously awaiting the next udate here on your website...I know you have pushed through whatever you may have encountered. The previous comments indicate you may have experienced GI issues. Brings back memories of Badwater - I remember seeing your true strength when you overcame the heat/ digestive issues and resumed your running!! You are truly amazing both physically and mentally. I know you are kicking butt!!!! Wish I was there crewing you too! Kudos to your crew - you guys are doing great!
