2021 Schedule

December 12, 2020

Below is my tentative schedule for next year. Considering how 2020 has gone, I’m pretty sure my year won’t end up looking like this once it’s finished. Hopefully, we’ll start to get this pandemic under control by April and most of these races can be held. Given the relatively small fields at most of these…

100 Mile, 24 Hour

One More Race?

December 4, 2020

Stone Mill was supposed to be my last race of the year. I should be smack dab in the middle of my fat and happy training cycle, however there’s a chance I’m not quite done yet with 2020. I was scrolling through run100s.com the other day (no, I don’t have an issue) and I stumbled…

Moments in Time: 2020 Pine Creek 100

November 7, 2020

80+ miles in; Zero dark something Here’s where I hit my low for the race. You’ll always reach this point eventually in a hundred though the timing and distance changes from race to race. It’s not a physical low, but a mental one. After hours upon hours (or days) of moving, your mind will just…

My 100 Miler Ranks: 2020 Edition

October 16, 2020

I started this ranking a couple years ago. No race is exactly the same and since everyone looks for something different when choosing races, I thought I would give you my ranks in various categories. Two flat hundreds (Long Haul, Pine Creek) get added to the lists this year. I’m excluding NJ One Day as…

Pine Creek 100 Mile Preview

September 7, 2020

After almost 8 long months, it’s time for me to the line up for another 100 miler. This was my 3rd or 4th backup option so I didn’t even sign up until about 10 days ago. For the past couple months, I had been targeting Wawayanda 100 up in NJ which is a hilly course…

This Will Be Interesting

August 30, 2020

So I finally know what my next 100 miler will be: Pine Creek Challenge. I think. Given how this year has gone, I’m almost afraid to jinx things by mentioning it. But we’re less than 2 weeks out and they say they have their permits, COVID plan, and volunteers all set up so I guess…

2020 Long Haul 100 Race Report

January 25, 2020

Flat ain’t easy. Here’s the thing. After 6 years and 30 some odd races, I’m starting to become an old hat at ultras. Unfortunately, I’m also becoming forgetful in my old age as lessons I’ve learned in the past need to be relearned on a periodic basis. Like flat courses aren’t as easy as they…

Long Haul 100 Demographics

January 12, 2020

I’m a numbers guy through and through. As such, I like to look at who signs up to run 100 mile races with me. Data from the charts below are pulled from Ultrasignup, which does a pretty good job of capturing US ultra results however isn’t all inclusive. These splits are similar to what I’ve…
