So when I get my butt back at it, it will be fun to see me there too. That said, middle of the pack baby! That's where you will find me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-23729054052531741882015-11-18T09:04:52.090-08:002015-11-18T09:04:52.090-08:00Thanks for sharing Scott.

We also didn’t want to encourage burnout- that’s why it scores only four ultras in a given year- at every distance. <br /><br />The icing on the cake here are the two Western States entries for the two top Overall scorers - who will not necessarily be uber elite ultrarunners - for that group there are the prior year’s Top 10 and the 24 Golden Ticket races. But for a very solid ultra runner who wants to put together four super strong ultras - well this entry is possibly just their ticket. And we think that’s pretty cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721306765987604789noreply@blogger.com
