Badwater 2006 - MaryG's Photos

In July, 2006, I joined Jay Hodde's crew at the 135-mile Badwater race. For those unfamiliar, BW is a run that goes from the lowest point in North America to the Whitney Portal -- the highest point in the 48 States. Temps got as high as 129F. A bit warm to say the least.

MaryG > The pre, pre-race breakfast in Vegas. Notice how clean we all still look! Look how alert Jay (red shirt) still looks!

MaryG > Looking out at the first few miles of the course from above. No, all that white isn't snow... unless it is snow that can survive 120+ temps.

MaryG > See Brian, that's where we start the race.

MaryG > Another look from Dante's Peak.

MaryG > Brian says "Forget it, this seems too hard! I'm jumping off this Badwater Train!!!!"

MaryG > "No wait, I don't want to jump, I just want to squat here and pretend that I am a large bug with a gotee!"

MaryG > Not a lot of water in Death Valley, but there is a lot of sand.

MaryG > The sand comes in many colors.

MaryG > Brian, Jay and Corey looking like tough dudes.
