I know of a few runners who have camped out overnight before a race, or slept in their car – not a big deal.
A college freshman from Charlotte, North Carolina couldn’t afford a hotel the night before the Folly Beach 10-Miler, and a thunderstorm kept him from camping outside. Where did he sleep? Not in a car, but in a porta potty.
The next morning he won the 10-mile event in 1:02.
Desperate times can call for desperate measures, but a porta potty …
I can’t top that, can you?
