They’re ultra-committed.
On a day when the heat and humidity in Coupeville sapped most folks, Wolf cross country coaches Paige Spangler and Elizabeth Bitting couldn’t be stopped.
The duo overcame the weather Thursday, pounding their way through an ultra-marathon.
Darkness comes, and they’re still going strong.
Averaging 5.2 miles every four hours across a 24-hour span, Bitting and Spangler ran a 50K, which breaks down to 31.2 miles.
They kicked things off at 5 AM, finishing the sixth and final leg at the Coupeville pier as midnight approached.
The finish line!
As Spangler and Bitting prep for the start of the school running season — the former is the high school coach, while the latter heads up the middle school program — they lead by example.
Spangler is training for the Chicago Marathon, which goes down Oct. 9.
