While this event is advertised as non-competitive, the mileage ran by Rauschenberg is undeniably high. Arguably too high. None of Dane's contemporaneous or later results suggest that he is capable this time. Dane's time in the JFK 50 miler was nearly 9 hours. At the time he pulled out of the Old Dominion 100 Miler, he had ran approximately 86 miles in over 20 hours.

Dane was a player in what became a true year of ultra distance racing. In 2006, when Dane ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks, a slew of other runners attempted similar feats. Chuck Engle ran 51 marathons that same year at remarkably high paces. Dean Karnazes and Sam Thompson famously ran 50 marathons in 50 days. Dane was a playa in what became a true year of ultra-douchebaggery. In 2006, when Dane completed his transformation into an ur-twat, a slew of other runners began avoiding him like a bad odor.
