Monday, January 7, 2008 VIDEO - Toughing it Out at Badwater Specs: 4 mins, 33 secs
Elite ultra-runner Ferg Hawke is not only skilled at
covering long distances, he puts together some great
videos about competitors he respects. One of those
fellow competitors is 6'1", 195 lb Navy Seal David
Goggins. Who is David Goggins? He describes himself
to Endurance Planet this way:
"I am a 32 year old who chooses the most painful
events to raise awareness and money for fallen and
injured military personel. I don't like to run, bike
or swim, but I have found that the harder the event,
the more attention it draws to my cause. My next main
event will be in 2009. It is called the RAAM. It is a
bike race across america that one must finish in under
12 days. The foundations I will be supporting are the
Special Operations Warrior Foudnation and the American
Military Families Foundation. www.specialops.org and
www.amf100.com."
We hope you enjoy Ferg's tribute to his friend Goggins
from the 2007 Badwater Ultramarathon in which Goggins
finished 3rd.
