Working on homework until 5:30 this morning, back on campus by 7:45, and have a 10-mile trail run planned with a friend this evening.  I'll just classify this as my last (hopefully) bit of sleep deprivation training for my little jog this weekend...

Life is good.

Last night trail run before my little trist through the woods Saturday - check.

Nevels - good luck on the little jog. What condition do you expect the trail to be in? Wet, muddy, rocky, etc. It seems the elements could play a big part in the race. How many ultras will this make?

Thanks; I'll need the luck.

I expect the trail to be in relatively good condition. It rained around here quite a bit last week, but it has been (and hopefully will remain) pretty dry and sunny so far this week. The trail is a wee bit rocky at times, but no more so than plenty of other trails I have run, so as long as I keep my eye on the trail, I should be alright on that front...

You're absolutely right, weather (and other conditions) can make or break a trail run, and the longer the race, the more of a difference it can make.

I think this makes 18 ultras...

I don't know how you do it. The sleep deprivation thing, that is. I got 6 hours last night and I've been more or less useless all day.

If you were able to do that you are going to be fine this weekend. Can't wait to read the race report :D

Good luck!

You experienced the DEMONS of the 100 last year, and learned from them. You will conquer the trail this year!
