About this episode

The episode discusses Brian Mansky's experience at the Badwater 135 ultramarathon and the crucial support from his crew.

The Badwater 135 is known as one of the world's toughest ultramarathons, covering 135 miles from Death Valley to Mount Whitney through extreme heat and relentless terrain. This year, Brian Mansky took on the challenge with an incredible crew dedicated to helping him reach the finish line. Supporting Brian every step of the way were Liz, Kristine, RJ, and Linda. From managing hydration and nutrition to monitoring pacing, providing encouragement, and handling the countless details required during the race, the crew played a vital role in Brian's journey. Through scorching temperatures, long hours, and little sleep, they worked together as a team to keep Brian focused, motivated, and moving forward. The Badwater 135 is never a solo effort. It is a testament to endurance, teamwork, determination, and trust. Brian's achievement reflects not only his strength and perseverance but also the unwavering support of Liz, Kristine, RJ, and Linda, whose dedication helped make this extraordinary accomplishment possible.
