C24logoCongrats to Athletic Lab member Jason LeDoyen for having a great performance at the Croatan 24. The grueling event is a 24 hour race where competitors cover as much distance as possible in a 24 hour period. The event is sanctioned by USA Track & Field. Despite unfavorable weather (83 degrees and raining) Jason ran 108.8 miles in the 24 hour race. The distance was a personal best for Jason and earned him a 3rd place finish. Full results are available here.

I felt strong the entire way, both physically and mentally. No doubt CrossFit has worked for me in building up the strength to handle the pounding of training and racing like I have been these last few years. Its also helps with my quick recovery. – Jason LeDoyen
This isn’t Jason’s first experience with ultra distances. Just last year, Jason completed the incredible 367 mile Tarheel Ultra Run.
