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…

2019 Eastern States 100 Race Report

August 15, 2019

Eastern States is a 100 mile footrace in the Wilds of PA (i.e. north central middle of nowhere). The race website has a wealth of information on course description, aid stations, mileages, etc., however it’s missing some details on the climbs that make up the bulk of the race’s difficulty. So here is my small…

2019 Eastern States 100 Preview

August 5, 2019

Finally. I’ve been waiting almost 2 years now to get back to Little Pine State Park and the long, long wait is almost over. This will be my third year running ES100 and hopefully (fingers crossed) I’ll be able to hobble away with my third buckle. I signed up the first year because it was…

Eastern States Is Coming

June 29, 2019

Holy Freakin A. Eastern States is coming. I ended my last blog post with this phrase and it wasn’t until I typed the period that it hit me. Eastern States is coming. And not coming as in here comes Christmas or the weekend is almost here sort of way. Coming as in my car has…

2018 Year in Review

December 31, 2018

Coming into 2018, I had accumulated 5 years of running history with four years at marathon or beyond distances. While I don’t have anywhere near expert level knowledge on running, I think I’ve developed enough proficiency to understand where I am personally pretty well. I know what I can do and what’s not feasible. I…

Dear 2018 Eastern States 100

July 14, 2018

Cancelled?  What in the wide wide world of sports do you mean cancelled?  Maybe I’m still working through the first couple stages of grief, but this just doesn’t seem real.  I registered and paid my entry fee, but now I don’t get to run? Let me me backup for a second.  I know I’m a…

2017 Year in Review

December 25, 2017

I’m more of a looking forward type of person than someone who dwells on the past.  That’s probably why I posted my 2018 schedule before I got around to how I think this year went.  But if you’re going to grow and improve, then you need to review and critique your performances.  I came into the…

Who Finished 2017 ES100?

August 24, 2017

When I pulled together the information for my demographics post, it was primarily to see who would be able to finish.  I had some ideas about who would be better able to finish this race and I have to say I’m a little surprised at how wrong I was on several many all of them.…

2017 Eastern States 100 Race Report

August 17, 2017

Easier doesn’t mean easy.  The cooler temperatures just about doubled the finisher rate (59% vs. 34%), however it didn’t feel that much easier that last year. The website has an overly detailed course description, however it does a poor job of adequately explaining how difficult the trails are (i.e. there are exactly 3 runnable sections…
