Gary Hilliard 6 - Running!

It’s been a little over a week since this jaunt.

I followed Gary, Mt. D co-race director Mike Malinin and Mt. D webmaster Fausto Rolan up the Mt. Wilson Trail to the bench, an arduous 11+ mile round-trip. Not sure what I expected - maybe lots of resting, being supportive, etc. What I got was my ass kicked.

Gary is flying!

Gary Hilliard 3

8 weeks in, a clarification:

Gary’s intention is not just to run the Badwater 135. He’s going to do the Furnace Creek 508 as well. This is the Death Valley Cup (not, as I mistakenly called it in this 3rd film, the Death Valley Double). It is very difficult.
