Ready to Race!

Still just an abbreviated version here. Check back for updates as I continue to gather all the videos, photos, and data together and get it posted.


The Desert Coyote and crew at the start of the 2009 Furnace Creek 508



After a climb to the 4956 ft summit of Townes Pass there was some fun to be had on the descent to -282 ft at Badwater. Hold on to your hats, here is some of it!



I reached Furnace Creek by 11:30PM and stopped there for a warm cup of Mac 'n Cheese (thanks to the microwave in our support vehicle!) and short nap. As midnight ticked by I had logged 253 miles of the Furnace Creek 508 plus one mile of warm-up before starting in the morning, giving me a new one day record for total miles.
