Get on a plane and come see some of the UK's best coastline: http://www.endurancelife.com/event.asp?series=49&location=125. There are still a few places left.

Don't forget the Vertical Beer Mile.

I agree with anonymous above: AC100.

That race is old school by all accounts. Jim O'Brien's record will be 23 years old next year (an eternity in our world).

Check out this brilliant video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHn1y1zwjgs&feature=related

Come on up to Seattle, Scott, and run the Cascade Crest. I'll crew for you.

SO far I got dissed in WS, Massanutten, and Hurt myself, (didnt bother with miwok or wtk, to far away for a 'shorty') but I came up with a second year in a row for the Empire State Building Run Up, So that took the sting out a bit;)
I did jump on the Angeles Crest, need to see some LA buddies, and I second the RRR 100 in CO. Looks beautiful, and I got family there. It does butt up against Wasatch though, so I imagine there will be a crush of people for RRR when the Wasatch lottery is drawn. That could be an interesting week and a half, RRR then Wasatch...
No matter. I'm still looking for vengeance from Bear 100, and a new adventure in Wild Idaho.

Couple of other 100s here in Colorado you could try; Run Rabbit Run looks to be a winner even if you're not after to big payday!

Same luck here too. Almost struck out completely until WTC came through. :)
I vote BIghorn for you.

Nick, that's awesome! WTC is a super fun race. And there is beer and cupcakes at the end!

All great suggestions, thanks! I better make up my mind soon...before they all fill up!

I also was also lucky enough to get in, which will be my first ultra. I completely thank/blame you and your blog for what I am about to get in to. Hope to meet you there!

2011-12-14T17:37:47.288-08:00

Massanutten is closed but you can still get on the waitlist before Jan. 4. Rocky is closed, waitlist and all. Maybe Tahoe Rim Trail? Or Cactus Rose west of San Antonio in October is a well run race over tough terrain but not much elevation change.

2011-12-14T16:16:20.574-08:00

Scott, check out the Grindstone 100. It's still relatively easy to get into, but probably not for long.....

2011-12-14T15:07:13.214-08:00

If only probability theory held that not being selected in other lotteries increased your chances in future ones, I'd say you should try the new Cascade Crest 100 lottery (http://www.cascadecrest100.com/). But I suppose its just hopeless......or is it?

2011-12-14T13:45:26.684-08:00

I feel your pain, Scott. I'm 0 for 3 as well. Massanutten is closed though :( that was my third loser. There's still one more left to deny us though, Wasatch!

I second, Superior Sawtooth. It's a nitty gritty run, with no altitude to deal with.

Superior Sawtooth 100. 100 miles of point to point singletrack along the north shore of Lake Superior in MN. Brutal and beautiful. Check it out!

Great post (that's a LOT of rejection!). I got in to WTC as well - I'd love to know the details as to what the chances actually ended up being for all these races.
