The Daytona 100 — a coastal 100-mile race along Florida’s ocean roads
-Holder of age-group and race records, such as 167.5 miles in a 48-hour fixed-time event
In our conversation, Bob shares:
-What it takes to finish Badwater at 80—including training strategies, mental grit, and his steadfast crew.
-His insights on organizing and directing challenging ultramarathons.
