Cool experience. My wife and I went through Death Valley by car, at night, and that was eerie enough for me, thanks. The Everest statistic really puts into perspective the feat that is Badwater. Thanks for sharing the story!

I’m a jogger half marathoner and I tip my Half-Fanatics hat to you. My memory of Badwater is crossing Death Valley in 1995 with my wife and then 16 and 13-year old daughters on the second of our two days of travel between Yosemite Valley and Las Vegas. I remember our older daughter “wetting her hand” on some water bubbling out of the ground and the water evaporating before her hand got to her face. Driving away from badwater, we passed a truck belonging to one of the Vegas TV stations … the weather guy later reported it was 130 that day.

Interesting story, thanks for sharing. How did the Gorewear do?

Agree on the Superblast 2. An update that lived up to the hype.

That sounded really fun! How did the Gorewear do? I don't usually break mine out unless it's colder and/or raining. A couple of my friends have run BadWater and Powerwalk on the ups is the key.
