AWESOME. I think that makes him ahead of schedule compared to last year @fmingo36 ?

EDIT: YES! Just looked on page 3. As of Monday 10pm last year he was 220 in. 30 miles is 3 loops. That means more rest time tonight. Way to go Nick!

Per Alison.

Nick Storm Trooper Bautista completed 300 miles at 7:15am! He's now out for 310 and will have donuts waiting for him upon his return. I can't wait to try these things as they must be a super food!

Last year was French fries --this year donuts. Whatever it takes to keep The Machine running!

Last year, it took Nick till 7:51pm to hit 300 on Wednesday. This year, we hit 300 at 7:15am on Wednesday. 12 hours ahead of last year.

Woot!

Woot!

And if he had those hours last time, he would have had more sleep and finished, despite the horrible weather, so this time he is cruising.

[Fievel]

Go get it Nick! I'm glad you have a great support team for you there!

@Donald Duck - Nick keep it up! Keep chowing down on those donuts to keep yourself moving forward.

Three hours ago Alison posted that Nick was out for lap 33.

I am so amazed and impressed by Nick's endurance and strength of both mind and body!

Lasted PEAK ULTRA Update:
Nick - 336. Going to nap at 340

Honestly as a member of Nick's 500 attempt crew last year, I am very happy to see that he is getting the rest he needs.
