I'm In Miwok

I didn't get into the Miwok 100k a couple weeks ago because it filled up in less than 15 minutes, but I put myself on the waiting list and now I'm in. I'll have about 8 weeks between the Iditarod Invitational and Miwok and then another 6 weeks between Miwok and The Great Divide Race. It's hard to say just how much focus I'll really be able to put on Miwok. That will depend mostly on how quickly I recover from the Iditarod Invitational and how much biking fitness I can build up in March and April while also trying to focus my training on The Miwok race. I'm not willing to significantly alter my GDR training but the Miwok will be the deepest field of quality runners I've ever raced against so I'm going to be pretty motivated by that factor.

By the way, there's less than a day left on my current poll and Pete and Jay are in a tie. Be sure to vote if you haven't already.

  3. I thik we are the only Alaskans in it. I phoned Evan at 7a.m. and told him to hurry and get logged on and get in. He didn't make it to his computer in time. He was very upset. He stated John is not doing it either. I will be staying at the sponsor hotel in Tiburon, David
