Not this year

I wasn't selected in the Western States lottery.

I'm planning on doing this race, the 70.5 mile Laurel Highlands Ultra instead. And maybe a return trip to Arkansas to try to improve on my effort there.

I'm also now a "two-time loser" and have qualified for the 2007 race (the qualifying period began 10/1/05), so if I want to do the race in 2007, I'm in.
