It's getting that time of year when you need to apply for the 2008 ultramarathons. I hope everyone is figuring out their schedules. Luckily I'm not overly concerned about WS100 and Montrail's claim of it being the world championships, which for the record I think Karl is right about Montrail being on the downward slope(I hate Columbia!) and the whole situation being lame. Personally I'm looking forward to racing this year. Last year I had lofty expectations which for the most part were not met. This year I'm taking a much more chill approach, although I hope to continue to learn and improve as an ultrarunner. So far I have the first half of my schedule sorted out but with my wife and I graduating in April, things are up in the air for the second half of the year (anyone have a six figure salary opening??). So here is what my ultra schedule is looking like:Jan 26th- Kahtoola 50KMarch 22nd- Antelope Island 50KApril 19th- Bonneville Shoreline MarathonJune 7th- Squaw Peak 50 milerJuly 12th- Devils Backbone 50
August?
?Mt RATS
?Katcina Mosa 100K
?Mt Disappointment 50 miler CA
September ???-
?TransRockies Relay
?Bear 100
Who knows exactly where I'll be but is should be fun! Any advice? Anyway, happy running and here's to a great 2008 year of trail running!! :)
