He picked up an injury in the first half and didn't want to quit...so his dad (joys of having an ultra marathon addict father) had some vaseline and suppositories for him at the 48km mark. He told me that 15 minutes later he had to keep checking down to see if he still had feet.
To me it seems as if he had not done the proper training for such a race and put his body through unnecessary pain/stress.
