Heading up the Portal Road and moving at an OK pace!

Wardian at mile 110 on course and running strong! Has moved into 3rd and I'm afraid to start pacing again as I don't want to dropped!

Thru 87 miles Wardian has dropped a bit, falling to 4th after a rough spell climbing up Fr. Crowleys.

Didn't see Lisa on the course; she was at Stovepipe Wells & we passed thru quickly. Hear she was doing well & looked strong trying for 10th

So far, so good for Wardian. Went out at a conservative pace, passed some others heading up Townes Pass Now descending quickly into Panamint

In Death Valley getting ready to crew/pace for Mike Wardian at Badwater! yfrog.com/kl62uvtj
