The Badwater 135 Film Is Live 🎬
|
Hi everyone, Jeff Pelletier's Badwater 135 film is live on YouTube. He put a ton of effort into this video and I'm very excited to share this. 135 miles through Death Valley. The hottest place on Earth, at the hottest time of year. I joined Jeff's crew, paced him through some of the hardest miles I've ever witnessed, and we documented the whole thing from start to finish. No aid stations. No drop bags. Just a small team keeping one runner moving forward through 120°F+ heat. [WATCH THE FULL FILM ON YOUTUBE] A few things you'll learn from this film:
The film captures the heart of this race perfectly. As Jeff puts it, some things can't be measured. [WATCH THE FULL FILM ON YOUTUBE] If you watch it, hit reply and tell me what moment stuck with you most. Cheers, |
