Imminent Catastrophe
Well, I got into JFK50 on Nov 17. Now I need to apply for a loan to pay for it. It's the 50th anniversary, I hope there's a lot of hoopla.

Scratch. I neglected to put a family event to which I had already committed on the master calendar...dang it.

North Country Trail 50, August 25th, Manistee MI
would like to attempt a 100 within the next year or so
It happens to me ~ Dang it!
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
Isn't it like 2,000 runners all paying $135 per ? = $270,000
I'm late, it being March, but I thought it might be nice to have a calendar for the year where we can post our tentative or not so tentative racing schedule. Don't worry, no need to post goal or results. It might be nice to expose other RA'ers to races they are not aware of, and so RA'ers can keep an eye out for their fellow RA'ers at races. If you post in other threads I won't force you to be on this list, so if you want it here, go ahead and give me some dates, names, distances, and locations. (Lurkers too!) What do people think about throwing non-ultras on here? Decision made. Marathons are on, shorter is off. This doesn't excuse you from going out and getting speedy at some shorter distances!

Is DWD - Devil's Lake 7/7 or 7/14? Their site says 7/14
It is 7/14 as far as I know.
Y'all might want to doublecheck before you show up a week early.
7/14 its gonna be hot.
Last year they had make-shift showers set up in the open air - lots of pretty woman in their bra and short-shorts getting cleaned up as I sat with the parametics ~ At least that is whay I remember seeing - It was a shame to leave in a hurry to get my broken arm looked at.

Well now. DB just convinced me to sign up and I am no longer part of the wishy washy club (for this race anyway). I swear it was the fact that they have nice showers for me to use after the race. . Actually, DW will most likely be doing DWD 50K as her first ultra. Is it bad that I haven't warned her about the course yet?

Nice! I looked at that and said "Oh, Lord! Where is that?" Opened it up and it said it was Oh Lord Hill. I read that you get to go up that thing three times. I'm jealous.

I call it Sith Lord Hill.
And I'm guessing you go down three times as well. SRL, you really don't like your quads do you? There may be easier ways to teach them a lesson. Just sayin'.
