          But.... Akos Konya has closed the gap to just 17mins. Reaching LP in 20:57. This is one hell of a race!

              Badwater runner Charlie Engel and our own Marathon Junkie - Chuck Engle - not the same person.

                That is for sure. I'm not certain that MJ (Chuck Engle) has done an ultra yet - but watch out if he does. Also saw that lunatic Goggins DNF'd. Wonder what happened to him?

                    Dude. If When I run Badwater, I intend to fuel solely with Earl Grey tea and hot buttered crumpets. Spanking is optional.

                      If the definition of ultra is anything over marathon distance, than he has done at least one. Their is a trail race in Southeastern Ohio, the Hocking Hills Indian Run. I'm pretty sure he ran the 60k a few years back.

                        I stand corrected. It's not 135 miles though.... just saying.

                            Anyway. Back to what promises to be one of the best Badwaters we've seen in years.
