heatstroke hill

Gina had to climb a huge hill for many miles in the heat of the day. She would end up dehydrated with heatstroke despite drinking massive amounts of water. This triggered a migraine which led to vomiting which led to a total downward spiral and us eventually pulling out of the race after 17 hours of walking. We were 2/3 of the way through the course but simply could not continue. We had to get her out of the car and into bed.
