Success all around at the Badwater 135 mile ultra marathon

In case no was following this years race. I'll bring you up to speed. Jen Segger of Squamish BC finished 9th overall and was the youngest female to ever finish the race. you can read all about it hear on her blog http://challenge-by-choice.blogspot.com/ Now I didn't get to see any of her race but I did get to spend a few hours out on the course. Exactly 45:34 of them crewing and pacing for my Arrowhead friend Sarah lowell who received her badwater buckle for finishing under 48hrs. since completing the first ever actic slam earlier this year including the Arrowhead 135 mile Nantahala Fria 100 mile Susitna 100 mile and the 6633 120 mile. She set her sights on something a little warmer, 171 degrees warmer! it was a farley cool year only topping out at 121 on the first day. Not being a road runner myself I always thought of Badwater as my anti goal. but it really is an amazing experience, to go from desert to Mt Whitney is such a beautiful contrast. And since I describe myself as an extreme ultra runner I just might have to put my feet on the starting line one day. I have a few pictures up on my blog http://extremeultrarunner.blogspot.com/ and there is a video of Jen's finished on the badwater site http://www.badwater.com/ 135 Miles is a very long way to run or crew !!!!!!
