Best Ultra Run Experience:

Probably the last day of Coyote 4 Play in 2000. There was a spectacular storm when the rain was coming down in sheets and the winds were whipping in from the ocean. Met some terrific people that weekend.

Weird Experience:

Had a vivid hallucination at mile 98 at the Arkansas Traveller in broad daylight. Saw a bridge in graphic detail, but when I looked away for a second and then looked back, it was gone.

Challenge:

They are all challenging in their own way. I don't think that I've ever stood at the starting line and not had a few butterflies.

Why:

The challenge, the scenery, and the camaraderie. Each ultra experience has taught me something new about myself.

Why badwater:

The stark beauty of the area and the extreme conditions make this a unique race. Being a participant in such an adventure will, without a doubt, help me redefine my limits.
