IN EVERY RACE THERE IS A SURPRISE

Mile 51

You’d think that after running for 12 hours, throwing up, nearly dying of thirst and hallucinating so badly I started talking to storm clouds, the worst of my troubles would be behind me.

You’d think that. But you’d be wrong.

Bigger troubles still lay ahead. For instance, I wrote my obituary at 6:10 p.m. That’s right — my obituary. My death was moments away.

QUINN SCHEURMANN, 1999–2013. Passed away suddenly during the annual running of the Shin-Kicker 100-Mile Race. Cause of death: mauled by bear. Charges of negligence are pending against race organizers …

Too bad I wouldn’t live to see it in print, I thought. Unless I could pull off a miracle in the next 3 seconds.

What was it my dad had said about bears?

If it’s black, attack!

If it’s brown, lie down!
