"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I have finished one 100-miler (Pinhoti) and crashed at another (Arkansas), so I am fairly confident in my ability to prepare for and (hopefully) complete Western States whenever I can find the time and funding to do so, both of which are somewhat scarce for me as a grad student. If I had to give a time estimate, it would be within a couple of years of finishing my grad work, so, perhaps, two to three years from this summer...
How about you; when are you trying to run Western States, and do you have other 100's that you're eyeing?
I'm looking at the Heartland 100 & 50 Mile Races, Spirit of the Prairie on October 10, 2009 in Cassoday, Kansas
I'm looking to prove to myself that I CAN do 100 miles and then take it up from there. I'd like to do the WS 100 within the next 5 years.
