Dušan Mravlje
Drinking, drinking, drinking
In the extreme heat of the Death Valley one thing is crucial: constantly drinking. To avoid dehydration under the Californian sun, where it gets up to 55 degree Celsius, the runners consume huge amounts of water and electrolytes. (For further information click here.) 

Dušan Mravlje calcutes that he will need at least one litre per ten kilometres he is running. During the race every 2.5 kilometres there will be an supplying station so that Dušan will grap around 90 times for a drink. 

It would take him around 50 kilometres, according to Dusan’s experiences, to get used to the extreme conditions. “After that everything will work just fine.” He had only to watch out to drink always “earlier than necessary” and never falling behind with his drinking. “Otherwise the race will quickly be over.” 

Dušan won’t eat anything during the race. Depending on how he feels, he will start eating again the day after the race has finished.
