Epic Bill Bradley, one of my ultra friends

Epic Bill Bradley

“Well you have got to have issues for one thing and you always have got to want to keep one up yourself. If you survive something you go to the next until you run the worlds toughest run, bike the world’s toughest bike, and swim the world’s toughest swim”.

“I can’t even get a buzz out of a marathon… If I don’t go through the night, it doesnt do anything for me” jokes Bill…

Bill attempted an epic three races in 2009: the RAAM (Ride across America – 3000 miles over 16.5 days), the Badwater ultramarathon run and swim the English Channel. He made two of them and had to give in to the English Channel swim.
