Badwater



My secret (or not so secret anymore, I tell everyone) crush David Goggins finished third at Badwater, in 25.49.50. Any other year, good enough to win!

Not this year. Two people ran under 24 hours. Unfreaking real.

Valmir Nunes 22.51.29
Akos Konya 23.47.47

Someone please tell what their pace was for a 135 mile race!!

No!
Say it aint so!
I make that to be 6.35 min/Km, or 10.22 min/mile.

Please tell me I've done the sums wrong!

He came in second at the 150 miler at McNaughton back in April. That dude is amazing.

Addy said...

wow...that is just insane. These people are incredible!!!

Jessica Deline said...

he did a great job for "not being a runner". I hope he comes and runs my 50 mile race again in February. I KNOW he's very interested in running my 100 miler once I get it off the ground...

Guess who is signed up for the Plain 100?? Thats right, I will be toeing the line with David Goggins. Are you sure you don't want to come out to WA with me?

OMG!!! I just noticed that the two pictures at the top of the blog - Goggins and Goddess are running TOWARDS each other! Their arms are slightly raised like they will embrace....both of you are running alongside a little white line.....

I KNOW that you did that on purpose Kim! You probably flipped one of the photos around to make it work out that way!

:-) OK, I guess not, the numbers are showing correct....unless....hmm you are wearing 2 and he is wearing 5...a 5 backwards looks like a 2. I am going to have to send your blog in for forensics to find out the true answer!

Admission: I have WAY too much time on my hands right now.

Oh my God that man is H-O-T!!!!!!

You obviously have very good taste in men Kim...so why the hell are you running with Mike? (just kidding!!)

Josh said...

wow, that was pretty low, Maria, lol. Don't worry Mike, no sponsorship for them.

Mike said...

well, OF COURSE he was hot. He was running in Death Valley in that photo. I would be hot there too!

HAHA, I don't care. Maria didn't mean any harm.

Kim said...
