What time do you need? Pick a nice fast course for it. Lehigh may be a really good option. I'm considering that for next year.
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
Sweet. I know you will!
3:45. Lehigh is definetly an option, though I'm planning on doing NJ in May, Steamtown in October and The Monkey in Nov. I've gotta resist adding another one to the mix.
Well, my thought is that you drop Steamtown, unless it's a BQ authorized course.
I'd do Steamtown if it weren't for Baltimore.... I didn't think Steamtown was a BQ authorized course, but if it is... That could be worthwhile, then.
WEll DON"T do Baltimore !BTW how is that course???
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
HA! I like it. Lots of support, good crowds, scenic. It's small, a few thousand, but with big race amenities (sponsored by UnderArmour...). It's a BQ course, too, and it's a Saturday race, which is kinda cool.
El Scorcho in July... Scout, didn't you say an ultra was in your future for 2008? Just sayin'.
I did, yes. There's a 50K outside Reading, PA, the Blues Cruise 50K. There's also a race up near State College, I think it might be a 50 miler, though....
I'm thinking 50k. It will be totally worth it for the sheriff's star in addition to the finishers medal. I just checked my log from the race - I did the 25k. The average temperature from midnight to 2:30 was 78. So if you guys do the 50k - it will cool off another degree or two by 5am.
