What comes after 100?

 

135 Miles !!!!!!!!!! And in the snow at -20 This February I’m heading off to Minnesota to do the Arrowhead 135. Back in 2000 I competed in the Alaskan race ( Ididtasport 100 mile ) on mountain bike. It was an amazing adventure and I loved every minute of it. I haven’t been on the bike that much in years but I have these really cool snowcat rims sitting around that need a little spinning. I would have made the trip back up to Alaska but that involves a little $ same with the other two winter ultra races ( Yukon arctic ultra and the rock and Ice ultra ) the fees for those races are up to $2,500. that’s the great thing about the Arrow head it’s fee is only $100. thats less then a Dollar a mile what a deal. The reason being there is only one aid station and you are fully self supported. Isn’t this sounding better by the minute. I still have not decided on which discipline I will do. You can compete in either the mtb, snowshoe or ski category and you can decide the morning of the race. It’s going to be a tough decision specially just coming of a 100 mile run. Anyway I’ll be looking to get in on a lot of snowshoe trips this winter and could use some company. Actually I’m looking for advice, I love the snow and cold weather but have not spent much time actually camping in it. I have also never pulled a sled for this kind of event. So if there’s anyone who’d have some knowledge they’d like to share please let me know. O! and yes I know I’m crazy
