Support Volunteers for Badwater Runner From India ?

Thanks to everyone who came out this morning for the Aiea plus run…It was just amazing out there…   We had some mud, but not bad, misty rain and we ran thru the clouds.  Most of us made it almost to the tunnels, Rex and Gordon continued on to the summit.   Nice to see Arvel back out…

I'm looking for a partner for Trans-Alpine this year.  It's an 8 day stage race through the Alps Aug30-Sep6.  You can learn more about it here and see the exciting videos.  It is only open to teams of 2. It's a bit pricey, and a long way from Hawaii of course, but maybe mainland hurtsters may be…
