2020 Training

2021 2020 2019 Charts

Original plan

I’ve put in a lot of work to avoid being miserable for the last 70 miles of Cascade Crest, but the inevitable is now reality and it has been cancelled. Time to regroup and figure out the path forward.

All three of these races offered roll over entries to 2021. Assuming races can happen again, this :point_up: is what I’ll be doing next year.

Backup plan

I may run an unofficial “Over the Hill Hundred” on my 40th birthday. I’ve also put myself on the deferred entry list for the following races.

One way or another, I’m running 100 miles this year.

Final plan

I ran 40 miles on my 40th birthday. I should write it up, but the route was a 1 mile loop from my childhood home. It was slightly short, so I ended up running 42 loops in just over 7 hours.
