Happy New Year! Haven't seen a racing thread for the start of the year, so I'll take a stab at it. Who's getting the early start in the year?

There is also a HM Run/Ski, Marathon Run/Ski, Ultra Run/Ski and a Poker Run option for Bikes. There's room left for any of you looking for a good challenge. Lots of good beer, pizza, door prizes and $$ payout.
Updated the table for the January half I was hoping signed up to do. Icebreakers in Miwaukee was sold out (both halves and the marathon relay) so that left me looking for something around Chicago. What the hell was I thinking I could find something "good" in January near Chicago? It was either the cold, windy run I had this weekend or I started the beers too early on New Year's Eve but when I woke up, there were all these confirmations in the email that had to do with Miami.
Actually, we have some friends going down to Miami for the half, so we thought why the hell not. If anything, it will be a nice break from the cold for a long weekend.

1/19 - Swampstomper 50k (actually, 32.6 miles) - 7 hours. If muddy then 8 hours.
1/26 - Mountain Mist 50k - who cares. Maybe 6:45.
These are both technical and can be muddy, so slow.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

This is almost the same route I ran a trail 10 miler on in November, but throw in some snow and mud and it is really hard to predict what the conditions will be like. There will be some good competition for me though. I know 4 of the guys racing it and all are +/- 10 minutes or so of my marathon time so should help keep pushing the pace. If I had to throw out a time, I would say <4:35.

10 MileNJ Winter Trail Series Race #3
Lewis Morris Park, Morristown, NJ
Goal: None, really.
HasherRick is the RD and I love running those trails, so this basically just to get some work in then hang out and have a beer or two with Rick afterward.
Not at it at all.

Putting on a trail race in the morning, but no goal - may just jog it.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

1/12 Bandera 100k Bandera (Hill Country) Texas Goal: sub 13:00:00
I'm not doing such a great job recovering from Desert Solstice. I was so excited to hop right back into good mileage and workouts, but instead I am sleeping like I never have in my life, and there are bits and pieces of me that are still sore. Anyways, I am a slug, but this is my favorite race. It is super hilly and rocky, hence the goal that is hours slower than my PR.

Disney World Half Marathon on 12 Jan. This is a goal race for me so hopefully I've played my training cards well enough to go for a PR (sub 1:22:52).
It will be dark and flat!

Give climate change a chance. Eventually it might get cold. Meanwhile, you will have to make due with winter weekend forecasts like this one - mid 70s.
I froze my butt off last year at 53F with rain. Of course I'll have a little bit more
fat insulation this year
