      My money is on Nattu and Jones.

       

      Not to finish first.  But to finish strong!

       

      Anybody know where the runners' headshot pictures are?  They usually have that every year, but I cannot find it.

          The image links there are broken.  There is usually a page with the images on display.

              I'm no Badwater fact expert but isn't Mt. Whitney the OTHER mountain involved in doing a double crossing?

              San Francisco - 7/29/12

              Warrior Dash Ohio II - 8/26/12

              Chicago - 10/7/12

                You finish Badwater at the Mount Whitney portal.  That is, you finish at the base of Mount Whitney.  The double crossing is a Badwater to portal out and back with an up/down climb up Whitney between the two.

                  So, essentially, not even close to 14000 feet at the finish of BW either.

                    That was one of the CNN chick's errors.
