• He holds the record for completing the Badwater 146 (a longer precursor to the now 135-mile race) through Death Valley and to the top of Mt. Whitney. 

• He’s run the Death Valley course more times than anyone else, including a fully unaided solo crossing and a 586-mile “quad” run. 

• He completed the Leadville Trail 100 and Pikes Peak marathon on the same weekend, a feat no one else has ever achieved.
