First half of American River 50 mile race. Using this as a training run. First half was fine for where I wanted to be, second half was a wake up call that I've got to get more miles in and shed more weight. The journey back to fitness continues ...

After two years of Tahoe 200 cancellations, I am registered again and have started training. Lots of weight to shed before June. I'm at 15 mile long runs. Here's the 15 mile out and back close to my home in California. Here we go...

Tahoe 200 race profile. Now putting together a pacing and pacer plan. The plan will give me benchmarks to hit during training. And since I live close to Tahoe, I can time myself on the actual course during training...

Alright so I finished and definitely earned this belt buckle! The race conditions were toughest to date and I had two moments where I had to weigh personal health risks versus continuing. I'll make a few summary posts of the experience later this week but here's the wrap-up: Out of 191 participants, 127 finished, making the DNF rate 33%. Out of 127 finishers, I was 60th, averaging about 59 miles per day. I was hoping to be in the middle of the finishers so mission accomplished. I never take finishing for granted though.

Moab 240 2020: And finally the disclaimer. I entered the race off the waitlist only about 6 weeks ago. I had already been training but not at the level or seriousness that is proper for a 240 mile race. I entered because 2020, as you know, has really sucked. Entering the race has uplifted my spirits greatly and got me back doing one of the things I love most, trail running. The last 6 weeks of training has been awesome and an adventure in its own right, and now I get to enjoy more of the same on an epic level. I expect the race to be hard with some chance that I won't finish, but I am and will have a level of fun that makes life way worth living! Okay, let's see what I can do...
