Bob Shebest lined up for Western States this year in prime shape. He’d put in solid training with a high mileage block timed just right. He’d podiumed at other races in the past year and had specific experience racing from Squaw to Auburn before. He had a quality race plan that he’d thought through a million times. This would be a big day.
And it was all going well during the race. Feeling good, joking with other runners, hitting his splits about as expected. Bob breezed through Foresthill (mile 62) ready to turn on the jets and execute his race plan to the Placeer High track in Auburn.
And unfortunately, this is about where the fun ended and where he started showing tremendous grit and tenacity. Throwing up for hours, sleeping, threatening to quit the race. Many of us have been to this dark spot before, and while many of remove the bib and call it a day, many of us–including Bob on Saturday–persevere and learn lessons.
