Mad City 100K preview: I’m running it. So are some other people. Any questions?
April 9, 2014On April 12th I will run the Mad City 100K — my 27th ultramarathon, but my first since 2010.
Much has changed over the last four years. Here’s one telling example.
Before my 2010 ultras (Rocky Raccoon 100, Mad City 100K, White River 50), I researched the competition and wrote detailed race previews.
Right now, all I have to say is that I’m glad to have gotten in some decent (though unorthodox) training, and I hope to break 7:20. If I succeed, I’ll probably place in the top 5, though probably not in the top 2.
… And it will be nice to see race director Timo and his wife Ann, my Williams College classmate Pam, and my uncle Scott and aunt Katrien.
… And I hope that the thunderstorms predicted to hit Madison on the 12th hold off until mid-afternoon.
OK, I’m done. Really.
Greg — Best Wishes for a successful return to the ultras!!! Bob
Good luck Greg!
