From USA Today:
[Andrew] Wells, a chiropractic student, tried to warm his feet in warm water and then went to a hospital in Platteville. From there, he went to Iowa University Hospital and clinics in Iowa City, where doctors plan to remove his big toe and the one next to it from his right foot.
He told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that surgery is scheduled for Friday. …
What did Wells win? A victory package that included energy drinks, gel flasks, Moosejaw adventure gear and a subscription to “Trail Runner” magazine.
