Early Morning News from the Keys!

Start time is 6:00am in Key Largo and it's been a long night anticipating this inaugural race to Key West! With a forecast about 94 degrees and 65% humidity, the comfort level will shift as the sun rises and sets. There has been an added crew member as of 2am last night, Mark Bernardi from Delray Beach, FL. Old friend from Badwater couldn't stay away from the fun! Mark's humor and Todd's pacing along with the off-shore breezes will fuel us today.

This is crew member, Helene Milbert, reporting for Lisa. Arriving in Fort Lauderdale a few days ago, Lisa experienced a run in the moist humidity with race director, Bob Becker and then got a good night sleep on Thursday night. Friday morning we arrived at Key Largo to have lunch on the water. At the race kick-off meeting, Lisa gave an encouraging speech on "Running with a purpose".

With adrenaline pumping and all smiles now, we will give you an update later on today!

GOoooooo LISA!!! Make your move :) We're watching things up here in D.C...can't wait to see your finish! Sending smiles out to everyone!!

When your physical strength is fading, draw upon that inner reserve and fire. There are those that will bend and break, but you're the other kind.

Go get 'em, but save some for Badwater! (By the way, there's the cutest picture of you in a skirt, smiling as you start the run on their website's intro flash -- you look bad-ass but cute!)
