Modern conveniences. What modern conveniences? Cell phone coverage and internet connections are unavailable in Death Valley. Nevertheless, we hope to post updates on this blog as to how I am doing during the race. There may simply be fewer of them than we'd like. On Tuesday, part of my great support crew will be taking a break in Lone Pine, CA, at the base of Mt. Whitney--many hours before my feet get me there. In Lone Pine we can reconnect to the world! Updates will be posted to this blog then for sure, although we still hope to figure out a way to post info earlier. The official "Badwater" website, www.Badwater.com, will also post times as runners pass through each of the five (5) checkpoints along the route.
Please check-out this blogsite from time to time to see if we have figured out the technology--and to see how the race plan is going. I have 60 hours to complete "Badwater". A finish within 48 hours earns the coveted Badwater Ultramarathon belt buckle. I hope to finish in an aggressive time of 40 hours. Since the race starts on Monday, the 14th, we'll find out soon enough just how realistic that wll be!
Thanks for the support,
Bob
