My 21K was just about perfect. I loved the North Peak climb much more than the 'hill that would never end' on the 9K. <br /><br />Hope to run with you again later in the season. Most every weekend in Feb-April I've got cycling races, but our '07 race calendars overlap again at Mt. Diablo and the Trans-Sierra Crossing (if I like the way the Race Across Marin turns out). <br /><br />Warmly,<br />Sarah <br />Berkeley, CATrail galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019262575497685416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1168356954120721172007-01-09T07:35:00.000-08:002007-01-09T07:35:00.000-08:00Good luck with your 2007 race schedule!It looks li...Good luck with your 2007 race schedule!<BR/>It looks like you've already scheduled something for March 31, 2007, or I'd suggest the Lake Hodges 50K in northern San Diego County (my hometown's near there).

One thing...the 2007 Boston Marathon will be the USA Women's Marathon Championships this year...and the OLY Trials will be run in 2008. This year will be more exciting because all of the top USA ladies will be there running ahead of the main start. In 2008, the OLY Trials will be run the day before the marathon on a crit course. Have fun with the schedule. When you pick a course that a flatlander can handle, I will be there.

Just make sure you drag your ass out of the start/finsih after the first 50 miles. I thought that was the most mentally tough part of that race. Be more scared of Diablo. I thought that was worse than the 100!

Since you like experiencing new setting, I'll miss you at AR, Ohlone, etc, which both of us did this year.<BR/><BR/>Road races have been getting more expensive, so I more focus on trail/ultra's (though AR is now $90, Ohlone is $70. Each is $10 up). I hopefully can do one or two marathons a year - get the feeling of "speed".<BR/><BR/>I'll see you in Quicksilver, TRT 100M, Sierra Nevada 53M, and perhaps SS50.

They are limiting it to 100 races this year (vs. 170 in 2006, and 220 in 2005). I suspect they will stick with many of the races from 2006 who sent in results to try and reduce the amount of <A HREF="http://runtrails.blogspot.com/2006/11/2006-trail-runner-magazine-trophy.html" REL="nofollow">uncounted races</A>.
