Good Badwater

by admin on July 16, 2008

Chisholm Dupree is not a Piraña. But maybe he should be. Monday morning at 6:00 AM local time, 8:00 our time, Chisholm started the Badwater 135. This 135 mile foot race across desert terrain, in temps as hot as 130 °F, is well known as one of the toughest races on earth. Chisholm beat the cut-off time of 48 hours, finishing in 43 hours and 21 minutes at 2:33 AM this morning. Chisholm is one of only three Oklahomans to successfully complete Badwater.

Here is the 6:00 AM starting group.
Chisholm is nearest to the camera on the right.

Again, the Pirañas salute Chisholm Dupree for his great accomplishment. Mav will want to talk to him when he gets back (Mav is thinking about Badwater himself…)
