Photograph: Max Whittaker/The New York Timesĭauwalter had been on her feet for almost 40 hours and led the field of 215 runners as she set her sights on a course record for September’s Tahoe 200, one in a series of very, very long ultramarathons, the latest craze among distance running’s lunatic set.
