The Hennepin Hundred? October 1-2nd 2016.
I plugged it into my calendar calculator and found that if I start training on April 4th, it's PERFECT timing!
I debated this on Saturday's run. It's so close to home, a nice time of year, close to home, lol, guess I'm looking for some support from the home front.
But it's a flat and 70% chip-seal course, 30% gravel. Not really like the I&M I'm used to with packed limestone. I haven't found much in the way of race reports yet. One I did read about a relay team mentioned a west headwind. That would be the last 50 miles of the race!
Why do I want to do this? My sights should be on more immediate concerns, like whether I can do Poto in a few weeks, and how I'll be for Berryman in mid May. Am I trying to distract myself from current injuries?
I'm also thinking any chances of a big triathlon this year (big as in a half distance race) are not so good. My swimming went from almost-maybe to wait-a-few-more weeks. It could become a biathlon/duathlon year, there are plenty of those around to pick from. But riding my bike ain't so easy right now either. In fact, none of this is easy. Sitting around... contemplating....wondering if the March 31st price increases are driving this thinking...
I see Dr M on Mar 31. Coincidence?
