Yeah, I'll take one of these, too.

Clive, way to go for a big PR there!
The Buffalo Stampede is a flat, fast, certified course similar to the course I ran my PR. Weather will likely be a lot hotter, though. It will be quite a challenge to dip under 62 minutes.

Oh, yeah!
Nice! This is the year. Go get that.

Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Training race #2 for racing 100 miles.
Superior Trail 50 mile, 9/7, Lutsen MN, Goal <10:00?
This course has 12,500 ft of elevation gain over 50 miles. No I don't mean elevation change. It's pretty much double Ice Age 50 elevation. Plus very technical. Honestly, I am somewhat worried about breaking something bombing down a technical downhill.

Unless the scale is compressing it, some of those downhills look absolutely stupid.

That's essentially double the elevation gain per mile as Monkey or Tecumseh.

Yeah. A couple of race reports mention the runnable sections. I can't see anything that looks runnable. I forgot to mention I am running this with no taper
This is wildly unrealistic, as I'll have run the LVM 4 days prior, but dammit, I won this race last year, (and I'm on the race committee and designed the course), so I at least have to put in an effort here (assuming I can walk). Last year I won by about 2 minutes. This year, no time strategy, just stay ahead of the next fastest guy.
Would love to run a lot faster than this, but its been quite awhile since I've raced a half...should be a good benchmark.
spaniel - 9/26 - Air Force Marathon, Dayton, OH - finish; BQ
The only reason for running this race was to BQ. If anyone is following the BAA's announcements today, while the field size was expanded significantly they pulled registration several weeks forward (Sept 9th vs Sept 22nd last year). So, by the time I run registration will likely have already closed. If it has not, there is little to gain but a better corral position from running faster. So depending how I feel, given my training (or lack thereof), if there are still spots open I may run this very conservatively for a finish.
If Boston is filled, I may stop every mile for jello shots.
