Ultra Runners

Too many races! (Read 467 times)

    Seriously... it's ridiculous! There seems to be an ultra almost every weekend and they are hard to resist. There are several new ones too. One RD has just added new 8 ultras! Some newish cool looking ones in case anyone is planning a visit...

        I hear that there are not enough 100s in Michigan.

          No kidding. I think WA is up to four 100 milers now. That should help.

            Tennessee has only one, I think.  And most people who have the guts to show up end up not finishing.  Barkley.

              Plus at least one 24 hour race for those so inclined to run 100 there.

               

              I'm having a hard time keeping up with James' races.  And the weird thing is that they keep getting added to the Maniac calendar.  Why is that weird?  I'm not adding them.

                What Tennessee needs is a lesson from Dipsea.  They also have Double Dipsea and Quad Dipsea (thanksgiving weekend... never done it because I always do Seattle.  But now that I clicked 10-years-in-a-row at Seattle, it may be time for 4D).

                 

                Anyway.  You have Double Monkey.

                 

                Maybe it is time for Four Monkeys.

                 

                  WTF!

                  Why am I just now hearing about Badger.

                      Actually, it looks like this:  (((11.2 + LL) x 8 ) + 5.8 )

                       

                      Not that I have thought about it or anything.  No.  Not me.

                        Eh, you are trying too hard.  As we know, most trail races aren't that accurate and generally long.  Heck, the dude putting on all the new races smalcolm is foaming about is famous for long.  I ran a 34 mile "50k" of his last summer.

                         

                        Four Monkeys sounds fun.

                         

                        Says the guy who can't count to 104.8.

                          Yeah, but you only have to count to 4.

                            WTF!

                             I know!! It came outta nowhere!!! It actually looks pretty cool. No way I can run 100 in March though.

                              Trent, is Apocalypse Monkey still on? I want to know so I can make sure I am nowhere near Nashville.

                                You mean in Feb?  Still planning on it.
