But Jon Rice, 42, of Longmont, Colo., decided to run a mile in a heat-absorbing black Darth Vader costume, complete with black plastic helmet. He was hoping to record the "hottest verified run" for Guinness World Records. Rice ran on the center white line of Highway 190 in the heart of Death Valley so his shoes wouldn't melt on the asphalt.
He described the experience as "abject pain. The first hundred yards are fine. The second hundred yards are all about, 'Gosh, what the heck was I thinking?' " Finishing, he said, took "grim determination."
