Sandy...Tough proposition going into Hardrock having just done another 100! I'm still trying to figure out if October will be too soon for me after this one. While I think I'd be fine, I'm going to wait to see how the race goes. A poor effort might be enough to spur a few months of marathon training again ha.
I say ‘go for it’, how hard can it be? Sorry, we’re just a bunch of enablers here.
Yeah, the HR thing was a cluster. In the 3 weeks between the two runs I had spent 2 of then traipsing around China and Japan. Plus my Dad died. How the hell I got 85 miles I’ll never know. That was 4 years ago and I’ve been trying to get back to HR ever since, The Bear is a needed qualifier for my next lottery try so the pressure is on.
tbd.
Are we there, yet?
WC...That's awesome - thanks for sharing! There's something about today's running that just lacks the kind of spirit that was obviously present at the race you did. I assume you still have all of your old logs and are able to sift through them? I regret that I don't keep mine on paper anymore. And you didn't say - did the team win??
In one of my many moves I tossed a lot of my old paper logs, most of which were pocket calendars, so I have totals but no details aside from what I recorded in my separate race log. There were only 4 teams entered, a 10-man team which won, us, a 5-man team and a 2-man team. As expected the finish order was determined by the number of runners on the team, so we finished 2nd with 224 miles.
