If you are looking for a book to help get organized with most of your need for Badwater I highly recommend Death Valley Ultras: The Complete Crewing Guide.
It's available on line from Lulu here.
I referenced it before my race and used several of the things offered.
From Lulu "Death Valley Ultras: The Complete Crewing Guide is a collection of everything runners and their crew need to know to crew a successful Death Valley ultra compiled into one well-organized, easy to use reference. Details and considerations for all aspects of a Death Valley ultra are explained:
· Selecting, Structuring, and Scheduling Crew and Using Pacers
· Selecting Crew Vehicles
· Pre-event, Event, and Mt Whitney Crewing
· Step-by-Step Foot Care Instructions and Photos"

John -
Thanks for creating this blog. While my ultras have been limited to 50K races (I'll be running my first 50-miler April 5, 2008 at the America River 50), I enjoyed reading your posts. I've been fascinated with Badwater for years, especially after riding the past two years in the Death Valley Century and Double Century ride produced by AdventureCorps.
My best to you.
John thanks for the great blog.
I'm trying to qualify for the 2010 Badwater. Any little secrets you could give me would be great.

If you want you can get my e-mail from my rather miniscule blog.
