No Umstead

Well, I didn't get in Umstead 100. It's a hard race to get into these days - filling up in a matter of minutes on-line. I'm afraid more and more ultras may become difficult for runners to get into. Race popularity is growing and due to the nature of the events fields must be limited. I do have a Plan B though - the New Jersey Endurance Festival is a three day event at the end of March and offers  50 mile, 100k and 100 mile options. I can do the 100s. I feel like I need a big event to dedicate myself to right now. A Spartan winter of training and good diet and a new beginning in spring. I like that.
