Shin splints

My First Meet Bang! Holy crap it is starting, I have to get moving. That was my first thought when I heard the starting gun.

He had just Ritz crackers and a sports drink, he got to mile 70 and he could not go any farther. His feet were broken, he had shin splints, stress fractures, he was malnourished. All he could do was sit down and think about how upset he was that he might not be able to finish the race.…
