They start at 9, 10, and 11, just to kind of scatter the runners out.

And so the faster wave starts later.

And so at 11 o'clock, we're getting out of the car, and it's 120 degrees at 11 p.m.

Holy crap.

So that's when we started.

You just jump out, and you're like, whew.

Feel like, you know, you're in a sauna and ready to run 135 miles in the middle of the night.

So, spoiler alert, you break the course record by two and a half hours.

And I also think that when I said 135, the implication is it's miles, but you also mentioned it could be 135 degrees.

We're talking this thing is 135 miles.

Yes, 135 miles.

And it can get up.

I have not experienced 135 degrees, so...

What was the peak heat?

Do you have any sense of when you were running it?

And how long did it actually take you?

It took me 21 hours and 44 minutes to cover that ground with those temperatures and climbing.

And I was actually able to get through Furnace Creek, the hardest part of the race, a little earlier on in the day, which I think really helped me because a lot of people are hitting Furnace Creek at...

one o'clock in the afternoon and it's 135 degrees.

I was running a little faster, so I didn't get, I got there around 10 a.m.
