Show Notes
Badwater 135 mile race is dubbed the world's toughest footrace. It begins at the lowest elevation in the USA (280 feet below sea level) and runs over three mountain ranges in the blistering heat of Death Valley, climbing 14,600' to end at the portal to Mt. Whitney. Some of the greatest ultra runners have run this race. This was Sally McRae's second attempt. In 2018 she finished a personal-disappointing seventh place. This year she won and won big. She joins co-host Krissy Moehl to discuss her training journey, what drove her to the win and how she is recovering.
