2010 Keys 100This is a race report from the 2010 They [http://keys100.com Keys 100]is a road 100 ultra that provides novel challenges and is modeled after Badwater 135. In the spirit of [[Documentation Is Evil]], I’ve tried to keep this as short as possible.
==Introduction==
The Keys 100 is intended to mirror the [http://www.badwater.com Badwater] race in many ways. While it is shorter (100 v 135 miles), cooler (~90s v ~120s), and flatter, heat is still the primary concern. The Keys 100 has higher humidity, which increases the heat stress and causes additional problems like maceration. Like Badwater, the race has no [[Aid Stations]]; each runner must provide their own support crew, though unlike Badwater there is an un-crewed option using [[Drop Bags]] every 10 miles. This is a race that requires respect; 74 runners started the race, but only 34 finished it, which is a high DNF rate, even for a 100 mile race.
