I bet you wouldn't have guessed... but it may be worth a guess anyway.

BONUS QUESTION:

BONUS COIN GIFT TO ANYONE THAT CAN GUESS WHAT I WAS CRAVING TO EAT AT THE END OF THE RACE!!! WHEN MY WIFE PICKED ME UP AT THE FINISH LINE SHE TOOK ME TO GET SOME FAST FOOD THAT I WAS STARVING FOR AND AS QUICKLY AS I WOOFED IT DOWN I PROMPTLY VOMMITTED IT BACK UP. I GUESS MY TUMMY WASN"T PREPARED FOR THIS FAST FOOD MENU ITEM. WHAT WAS IT? FIRST CORRECT GUESS GETS A COIN GIFT!!

Win, Win, Win!! You can't win if you don't play!

Many of you may or may not know that I did competitive power lifting locally for many many years but what may come as a surprise to most is that I once entertained myself as an ultra marathon runner for about three or four years and I actually ran in at least half a dozen ultra marathons in my mid 40's (approximately ten or so years ago). An ultra marathon is any race of 50K or further (that's 31.06 miles) typically ran through wilderness trails with lots of elevation gain and loss over somewhat rugged terrain.

The crown jewel of my ultra marathon running days was a 50 mile race I ran. I'm not going to give the name of the race or the exact year until this challenge is complete so as to avoid any quick wins by you google wizards out there.

This challenge will present an opportunity to potentially win Platinum, Gold or a Pot O' Coins depending on the accuracy of your guesses at how well I did or did not do in the race. Here are three statistics to guess and depending upon how closely you guess my results will determine how much coin and award you walk away with at the completion of this challenge.

You are allowed 1 (one) guess at each of the three statistical questions below. That's three guesses total per participant but only one guess at each of the three race statistics. You may win the award listed for each question. I will chime in when/if the first someone gets a correct guess to win the award for each of the three questions.

Guess #1 - (First correct guess gets gold)

Question #1 - My 40-49 year old age group had 14 entrants. How did I place among these 14 entrants?

u/Popo_Perhapston wins the gold for getting question #1 correct.

Guess #2 - (First correct guess gets a Pot O' Coins)

Question #2 There were a total of 53 (all ages) entrants to run the 50 miles solo (not relay) that day. Out of a total of 53 runners (all ages) doing the 50 miler solo that day, where did I place?

Congrats to u/NervousLavishness52 for correctly guessing my placement in the race overall.

Guess #3 - (First correct or closest guess gets choice of "Platinum" or "Pot O' Coins".

Question #3 What was my time to cross the finish line and complete the 50 miles I ran that day. I will give you a clue, It was over 8:00 hours but less than 11:00 Hours.

u/___HeyGFY___ guessed my official time to the exact minute! Great job!

I have documented results that I can provide to participants at the conclusion of the challenge but for privacy concerns I will only send the documented results to those that request it for verification and only via private chat to trusted individuals.
