The stakes get higher when those two people are making this plan for Western States – one of the hardest, most difficult 100 milers around. But George Velasco and Leigh Corbin decided this was the way they were going to do it in 2007. And they gave us a run for the money…right down to a nail-biting finish of 29:43:38 (the cut-off time is 30 hours). You guys did awesome and finished with heart! I can’t wait to hear more about the details of your race later this month (Leigh and George are both crewing me at Badwater). Way to go, Leigh and Georgie!
Love, The Batchens

Murhy's law works for sure - I had 2 100M runs where I teamed up. While it brought us to the finish and worked great for 2/3 of it great, last 3rd, when lots of things are mental and the tolerance runs low, it takes a lot to stay positive for a friend and not only for yourself. I was blessed both my friends were very good friends, and we survived unscanted. Georgie and Leigh did an awesome job! I'd like to hear insider's stroy as well.
