The Plan for 2007
Well, it's that time of year, the big races all but done now; so it's time to start thinking about what to do next year. In my first year of running ultras, I did two. First, the 100k at the Blackfoot back in May, and just last weekend I did 50k at the Round The Moon Trail Race; where I managed to actually win the thing! OK, there were only three of us entered in the 50k, and only two of us finished, but, a win is a win! I have four events that are on my 'A' list for 2007. In chronological order they are:
I'll also be the official crew/photographer/cheering squad for Natalie when she tackles her first marathon next year! It's just the end of September and all ready I'm getting pumped up about next year!
Train smart, D.
- March - Polar Bear Run - 18 or so miles across frozen Lake Winnipeg
- May - Blackfoot 100k - I want to run sub 11:00
- August - Lean Horse 100 mile - This will be my first attempt at the 100 mile distance
- September - Mantario Marathon - a two day, 65k fast-packing 'fun run' on the Mantario Trail in the Canadian Shield
- Late Fall/Early Winter - perhaps another 50+ mile ultra in the US?
