I just checked the calendar, and it appears that if I were to stick to my 29 week training schedule, the races that fall around that time are the Leadville 100 and the Pikes Peak ascent and marathon. I doubt that I’ll be doing Leadville, and the Pikes Peak races seem hard to get in on, so I don’t know that either of those races is an option.
Expanding the look, it seems like these races might work:
- Bulldog 50k in Callabasas, CA
- Salt point trail, also in CA
- Green Lakes, in upstate NY
- Lean Horse run in Hot Spring, SD
- Hitchock trail in GA
- Trail that can’t be conquered, not an ultra, but I’ll be in the area for this race on this date.
So, which one should I do? Or, should I just ignore the whole 29 week thing and just try to stay at that level until Warda or Cactus Rose in November?
