Committed
I've sent in my application and made my reservations for the Arkansas Traveller 100 mile race October 1st and 2nd (be cautious about any race that lasts more than 1 day).
It is hard not to feel some trepidation about such a long event, but I'll be more prepared for this race than any ultra I've done, having run 200+ miles in July and aiming for the same in August. My weight should also be good, but anyway you look at it 100 miles is a long way.
By the way committed is what I am to the race, not what should be done to me!

I wish you the best on your run.50 ks are the most I have ever dared. I would be interested in your views as a physician and an ultra runner on prevention of hyponatremia amd what liquids and solids you take in on your long training runs and the races.

Andy, I wish I could be there to run this one, but I couldn't make it happen this year. Maybe next year you can embarrass me at WS, but next time, I hope to at least make all of the cut-offs. Your training has been great and I'm expecting a great race from you at AT.
Of course, if something wierd happens and you don't manage to finish under 29:34, you'll NEVER hear the end of how you got outdone by a pathetic, slow walker. :-)
Seriously, you'll do great that I'll bet that your PR (low 21's, right? ) is in dire jeporady.
May your feet be even lighter than your heart! Best of luck for this one, Dr. Andy, I'll be looking forward to reading about it.
