2005 Badwater Ultramarathon race champion and new record holder Scott Jurek is interviewed by race director Chris Kostman at Whitney Portal.
Badwater Ultramarathon™ is the world's toughest foot race. This legendary, epic, 135 mile running race travels non-stop in the heat of Summer from Badwater in Death Valley (elev. 282 feet below sea level) to Whitney Portal on Mt. Whitney (elev. 8360 feet). Field size is limited to up to 90 runners. Visit the race's dedicated website at http://www.badwater.com
So cool to be able to view this. I'm reading C. McDougal's "Born to Run", and just finished the chapter where Scott collapses to the pavement for ten minutes, and realizes he hasn't even hit the halfway mark. Sweeney has a ten mile lead, and he wills himself to get up and win 2005. These guys aren't human.
Thanks for the footage.
