      ultrarunning rates it as a 2/2.

       

      Probably not much fun in huntsville, but it is just north of houston so that could be entertaining Smile

            We don't like stopping anywhere.  Makes the flight too long.  $275 sounds nice.

              round trip is 2.5 hours for $405

              1 stop is 4.5 hours for $275

               

              either way - its about 3.5-4 hour drive for me Smile

                An expedia packet might get me a direct flight.  I am still surprised I paid less than $1200 per person for SF including a direct flight, a car, and a 4 star hotel 1/2 from the starting line.  Score!

                      My bad.  It was $1200 TOTAL, so $600 per person.  Good deal!

                       

                      Hehe.  Then I won't go since you were just "wasting time".

                        I was wasting time by looking up flights and planting seeds so that I can tag along in your greatness.

                          Great job!  Congratulations!  So what's next....50 or 100 miles?

                          Docket_Rocket


                            Actually, a 5K, haha.

                             

                            Only marathons for the rest of the year.  For 2014, I'm eyeing either another 50K or a 50 miler.  Don't tell Mr. Docket.

                                snickers- that would be cool. I have done one of the Tejas Trails races and it was pretty laid back. There were lots of friendly people there and very relaxing.
