Sweet H20 50k coming up in April

I forgot to mention that I also have decided to run the Sweet H20 50k in April. This looks to be an epic test of endurance and stamina on one tough course. Check out the elevation profile:


If you Google Sweet H20 50k race report, you can read some epic tales of suffering and false expectations. The course commands respect one way or the other; before the race begins or after the race has beaten you into submission.

The grandaddy of 'em all is called "Top of the World". You run this puppy ...TWICE. Along with 9 or so of its closest friends. In a word: Brutal.



I CANNOT wait!
