Q&A WITH LISAWhy Badwater: The challenge, the people;

the desert is where I feel most at home. I love

the course and I love Ben and Denise Jones

ZKR KDYH LQVSLUHG PH VLQFH P\ UVW GD\ LQDeath Valley in 1995. Also, AdventureCORPS

always has the most amazing volunteers. As a

race director myself, I know all the time, effort

and dedication that goes into putting on a suc-

cessful event. They are very much appreciated!

Funniest moments?Laughing so hard with my

crew until I threw up. Sand storms where you

are being thrown backwards and all you can dois laugh. Many moments when you would rath-

hearing people use all kinds of swear words

when in there every day life they never swear.

Coaching:I have coached so many people for

Badwater: I am coaching four for this years

race and I have coached every year. My coach-

ing started years ago with coaching highschool, then college, and it grew and grew as

I learned and learned and learned: Not just

through experience but through education. I

have coached many of the top runners at Bad-

water, even Marshall Ulrich and Ray Zahab! I

love to coach and even more so now that I have

retired from racing!

Badwater Life Lessons: Badwater was myUVWXOWUDDQGP\ODVW,ZHQWIURPDPDUDWKRQ

to 135 miles. I fell in love with endurance and

distance running. Badwater taught me that it

is not really about the race, yet a journey that

will stay with you for the rest of your life. I have

learned to trust other people who are there to

help you, I have learned that most of the time

you can work through about anything. I have

learned that a DNF does not mean you didQRWQLVKLWPHDQV075&0DGH7KH5LJKW

Badwater has become like family with me. Run-

ning in 120 plus degree through Death Valley

in July is nuts, as we all know and hear so of-

ten. As any Badwater runner will tell you, its

the challenge of pushing your limits, self dis-

covery, and busting through the low points and

relishing the high ones. It all about Body, Mind

and Spirit and perseverance and courage. Oneof my joys and a privilege is meeting fellow vet-

eran Badwater runners, being along the road

encouragement to them. You are truly inspired

by each runner out there, their struggles and

triumphs - you feel them too its totally amaz-

ing and even learn ideas from them!. You my

be feeling horrible and having a bad patch

and all seems doom and gloom, but trust me,theres someone having worse! You do come

Road and Chris presenting you your medal and

buckle makes it all worth it. May Badwater

2012 be good for all of you. Be safe! -JR
