Since I began ultra running 3 years ago the 100 mile seed was planted, nutured and now may be coming to fruit. I'm looking at a race in early November in Florida. Swamps, deserts and mountains have always appealed to me - extremes. And my first 100 in a swamp, with abundant wildlife and a flat course sounds ideal. Training is my strength but logistics is my weakness and that can make or break a runner in any race but especially in an ultra where so much can go wrong. That's the reason why I haven't tried a 100 yet - 50 miles and 50ks are just so much easier to plan. I always tell myself it's just a long day in the woods. I used to work retail and double shifts where all too common and nothing is worth then 12+ hours on linolium floors and flouresent lights. So 10+ hours in the woods is a piece of cake. Not so for 24-32. So I can make this happen. I can train for it and more importantly I can plan for this. Stay tuned.
