Vegan Ultramarathoner Sets Unprecedented Running RecordFriday, July 28, 2006FA.Net; Washington Post William Booth Read the full article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/26/AR2006072602001.html Logging 70 to 80 miles on a Saturday, he rises the next morning for another long run. In under 26 hours, he just won his second California Badwater Ultramarathon - a 135-mile race over 13,000 vertical feet ("which is like a flight of stairs three miles high") from Death Valley to the base of Mount Whitney, where 120-degree temperatures are said to be the norm. He skipped the Western States race this year, which he has won every year from 1999-2005. His record is unprecedented. Learn more about Scott at his website. |
