Great video and a good fight! It brought lots of memories from this race. It was so hot that I think my brain left out some of the things from my memory 😅 hardest race I have done. Also, super hard race for the crew.
That is not a race to take likely and kuddos to you for trying! When you do it again (which you will) I would love to come help you crew so I can see what it's really like. This is one of my dream races. Maybe not 100 but at least the 50 or even as a team. Keep going yall!
Manny - great glimpse into your race. All the sauna work did not prepare me for the humidity. I have never experienced that either. First mile in and my heart rate was 180. I love the transparency in the video. Can you tell me how this compared to Badwater135 when you ran that? Thanks in advance.
Hello John, thanks for watching. Yes, the humidity got the best of me, I felt that I was not properly hydrating myself with he amount of sweat i was losing "electrolyte intake". I couldn't believe by mile 3 that my shoes were completely soaked with sweat. I did keep my HR at around 130-135bpm and that was a brisk walk. Hopefully next year I will come up with as better plan. There were too many stops that i did not want to stop at. Badwater's temperature was a dry hot, our crew and I experienced the heat at 115 degrees but again here in Texas we do get that dry heat so my body was more acclimated to the heat. I think I prefer the dry heat..lol
@@texastrailduo5826 - same thing happened with my shoes. But we also had unbagged ice dripping from my vest. Changed 3 diff pairs in first 20 miles until we figured it out.

This has been a goal race of mine since it started. I’ve never been brave enough to go for it. Good for you, dude. That’s a tough tough day.
Yes!, very very tough day. We hope to be back in the near future with a better plan. Thanks for watching.
Wow!! 17 hours in that heat/humidity!! That’s amazing!! Thank you for taking us along in your experience, Mannie and Karen!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing! Love your adventures. Love from Mount Holly New Jersey! ✌

Thank you so much for watching, Yes we plan on coming out again next year to tackle the 100 again. Maybe we will be in touch. Happy running!!
I dnf'd as well. Made it up to mile 67 and called it quits. I had heat exhaustion and it wasn't getting better.
Great effort! It was tough 🔥
