Me and Nancy Shura. Photo by Tim Kj, who crewed for me until he had to head back to Vegas. Then Nancy & Larry helped me out!
Danny Westergaard, me & his crew chief Nancy
Danny joined me about 10 miles out from Furnace Creek to Townes Pass
He is a strong and humble runner. I predict he will do very well at the race.
Weighing in. It's been hard to keep my weight level these days. (too much focus on not OVERhydrating!)
