(Monica Scholz tackles Whitney at Badwater)

Monica Scholz has yet to meet a 100-miler she doesn't like. Last weekend she finished her 25th 100-miler in a single year, breaking her previous world record of 23 set in 2001. Amazingly, she is posting some damn good finish times with each of them too! The Spec has a great article about her last race.

My first thought was "can you even schedule 25 100-milers in a single year"? Turns out you can...here was her original schedule, courtesy of Vince. Look at all those hot ones in July, or the 5 back-to-back in October. She is super woman!!!
