badwater has about 10 hours before it is officially over but the all important time of 48 hours has passed - a runner must finish in 48 hrs to get the coveted belt buckle.
66 of the 80 starters got belt buckles - congrats to them all
of the top 15 finishers 8 were women - the top woman finishing 3rd overall. Jamie D who was leading by a huge margin at mile 120 of 135 last year and got injured and finished as the 5th woman cruised to the woman's victory this year - 51 minutes ahead of the next woman.
Bob B of Ft Lauderdale and the director of the Key West Ultra finished in 40:48:00 - congrats to him. He is 63 years old! Other folks that ran KW that were in Badwater - Alisa S who won KW 100 finished in 37:21:00 and Alan G who was 2nd in KW finished in 41:46:00 and Lisa S-B who had to drop out of KW because one of her crew had an emergency is still on the course at 43:44:00.
Congrats to all finishers of Badwater - you all are truly Bad Ass
When Bob writes his race report I will try to get a copy and post it here - I can not wait to sit down and chat with him about his experiences and to beg for a crew spot next year!
