An pretty absorbing documentary about the early days of the Badwater 135 ultramarathon, where runners are subjected to the absolute edge of endurance: 125° heat, 135 miles of uphill running and elevation into the Mt. Whitney Trailhead (~8500'). If you can get through the visceral aspect, this story is filled with inspiring stories of people overcoming odds to do their personal best.
I watched about 45 minutes of this on DVD this morning to ramp up for the day, after Lummis got me up at 6am, before starting the day.
