Badwater Double 2006 - Lisa Smith-Batchen

[MarkPage01]

Rumour has it, she weighed 250lb before this.

[MrGarbfink]

Just plain Awesome!

[starrybebo]

I always find it impossible to cry after a long endurance event. Normally people have nothing left and can barely even talk cos your brain goes to mush.

[iamaboardgame]

Incredible!

[RaynauddeChatillon]

Wow, how much time did she take between finishing the race and embarking on the return?

[campbpar]

0:18 She doesn't want no mo. She's thinking Ulrich was crazy to do it four times.

[atz123ify]

twice? i didnt know there was a badwater double ultra and i thought the course was only 135 miles?

[kinthelt]

@atz123ify Yes, the race is "only" 135 miles. On occasion, some people decide to run back to the starting line.

[MarkCooperRunsEurope]

Ive got a 560 mile world record attempt coming up in September, hoping to cover that in under 120 hours, Lisa is great, an inspiration

[seandchoi]

@MarkCooperRunsEurope Best of luck to you Mark!

[Ocutoyucoto]

I would cry for 280 miles of this race.

[Doubleshot98]

[MichaelinDenmark]

[karldiesen]

Why is she crying? Is she stupid?

[violinmac]

damn girl! way to be. what balls!

[TheProphiting1]

People dont have any idea how much mental pain people go through for long distance runs.

[FourSeasonRunner]

@TheProphiting1 I do but my pains are usually physical because I turn off my brains.

[Peekingduck]

48 K !

That is amazing!

Well done.

[rafasdark]

es mui emocionante! congratulations!

[rlrichards1979]

Although I have to say that I wish the film was longer and showed some highlights throughout the race, and leaves much to be desired. However, this achievement is spectacular, we are talking 270 miles in the hot desert, there is problably not enough people in the world to use all fingers and toes that could actually do this, the pain, the mental breakdown, the wall after wall one hits during this type of excessive excersize, it is simply amazing what she done, congrats.

[phonziee]

women do have a higher pain threshold than men..but i give her huge props..300 mile race is on my to do before i die list

[bobwho1986]

because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." T. Roosevelt

[bobwho1986]

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;

[obscureluzername]

i AM gay and a girl so what do you expect?

Anyways, this woman is a BADASSSSSSSSS!

I just heard about the Badwater ultra now I find out there's a DOUBLE badwater? That's freaking insane!

[kevinjobson]

How could anyone not appreciate this?!  What a beautiful, wonderful human achievement. Amazing!

[BrazilGoleiro]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super human!

[titanjb13stupididiot]

it's not the dumbest, it takes the dumbest person in the world not to appretiate that she just ran the equivalent of the worlds toughest footrace,TWICE. you ignorant punk. She has just earned my worship. Lisa i hope that someday i can be half the athlete you are.

[Doubleshot98]

@titanjb13stupididiot it is known she is a whore..takes away from the race and honor

[seandchoi]

@dabigsmooth23 Far from being dumb, this is extremely inspirational. Imagine the physical/emotional obstacle she had to overcome to finish Badwater TWICE!
