Congratulations to the ones who were drawn: Gilles, Chad, Andy, Dom, Wade, Jeff and Marie. Disappointing for quite a few others but, hey, but it just means different challenges. Make a personal slam with any 4 "100's" of your choice. Don't forget STORMY!!

Elk Beaver training group?
Thanks Cheryl
New challenges
Hmmm. Disappointing. That's one way of putting it.
It just gives me one more year to train for Western, I can work on night running, extra long distances, train smarter, etc. All I have to do is requalify....which brings me to my goal race.
Of all the ultras that I've completed in my limited experience I've yet to actually run a 100km race. Oh sure, technically I ran a 100k during Tahoe, but it's not quite the same thing.
I have attempted H2H, but would up getting injured during training as the miles accumulated, so a road 100k is out.
I even "considered" the Vancouver 100...for about 8 seconds. But looking at the finishing times, that might eclipse my Tahoe time!
I still would like to run in California, to see some old friends and family and the only month I have available for vacation is May.
So there's only race that I can think of and that's Miwok.
Now I still have to get in, because it sells out really quick, but if everything goes well, I'll be toeing the line on May 3, 2008!
If Miwok doesn't work...
Good call
but I'd probably do the 100k. If I'm going to Elk/Beaver I figure I'll do my training around Burnaby Lake that's roughly 11k per loop.

V100 definitely not a good choice
