Place and Time:
June 25-26, 2023 | Death Valley, USA

Goal: The goal was to run from Badwater Basin (-86 meters below sea level) through Death Valley to the highest peak in continental America, Mount Whitney (4,421 meters).
Note: Due to the fact that by late June Mount Whitney was still covered in snow, the challenge had to finish at the base of Mount Whitney at an altitude of 2,548 meters. Therefore, the Badwater135 route was completed.

Result: 40 hours, 9 minutes, and 50 seconds
Due to mistakes in preparation and equipment choices, this challenge became one of the greatest tests of endurance I have faced so far. After completing a distance equivalent to two marathons, I had to abandon all time-related goals and focus solely on reaching the finish line.
