Best Ultra Run Experience:
Three experiences:
- finishing six 100's in 1999 that make up the 'last great race' combination
- doing the coldfoot classic in 1999, in the artic circle, with the northern lights
- finishing badwater in 2000, experiencing the heat and still being able to move
Weird Experience:
Would have to be coldfoot classic, at times you were totally alone, on the 'long haul' highway, with temps hitting minus 32 degrees
Challenge:
Badwater, 2000, remember thinking at the pre-race meeting, that i didn't know if i would be able to move in such heat (it was about 120 degrees at that time), got even warmer during the run (+127), but was able to move, albeit at a slow pace
Why:
For personal satisfaction and great experiences
Why badwater:
Want to finish under 48hrs this time
Other Exp.:
Like climbing: have climbed mckinley and throughly enjoyed it
