Ooooh, I've got some fun stuff to add. As of right now, it's shaping up to be a busy spring. Honestly contemplating not "racing" at all, but we'll see how it goes in Indy...Gents -- just updated the Race Calendar and added a 2020 Race Calendar tab so you can start loading your races in there.

You can "have fun" drinking beer and watching football and save the expense and work of the race.Added my return to the Houston Marathon. When I got to the "goal" section, I paused.
I told myself this was going to be a fun run. I was done with trying to run street marathons for time.
But I would still like to PR.
Hmph.

He sure is. I still cannot grasp the concept of 100m races. The people that do this are true BMFs. I know this because I’m being a little ##### about my 10+ mile run in the morning.He's kicking ###.
I think @SayWhat? might actually give SteveC a battle for total workout time this week.11:59
big move up to 32nd. Boom!
Slowing down a little, but still ahead of last year. Get you some @SayWhat?ChiefD said:Aid Station Splits in 2018:

They're reporting them in groups with chunks of them having the same time at the aid station - he was the first of 14 with the same time at mile 51.2. So you'd think they'd have the order right at least, but they might not.Strange. Saw Say listed at 32nd then 42nd then 32nd.
He was listed first and then minutes later listed last in that group then it switched back to first. You can see where I edited my post but Triman had already quoted me.They're reporting them in groups with chunks of them having the same time at the aid station - he was the first of 14 with the same time at mile 51.2. So you'd think they'd have the order right at least, but they might not.
11:00 PM his time now so he's heading into that unknown of running through the night without a pacer. But this is a big enough race that I'd bet he's with other runners most of the time, which should help.
In any case, he's still crushing it. I can only wish to know what it feels like to be in the top 10% of a 100M race field![]()
Bump for this page.T-minus 42 hours to takeoff. Superior 100 starts Friday morning. Coming off my best month of training and relatively healthy as Friday nears. Just trying not to have a huge stress/anxiety energy dump this week (but failing miserably), as life is out of control bonkers with the kid starting school, work requirements, and this race. If anyone gets bored on Friday/Saturday, feel free to follow along with live tracking here.
Previous times at this one were 27:22 in 2016 and 27:04 last year. I'm not "trained" well, but I'm fit. If I'm being honest, I'm going to be extremely disappointed if I don't hit 26:XX, and mid 26 or faster would be ideal. But I guess ultimate goal is to get 8 tickets into the Western States bucket, and I've got 38 hours ( :X ) to do that. Weather looks near ideal with temps currently forecast between 48-65 degrees with a very low chance of rain (though rain is forecast tomorrow so the course may be wet).
Aid Station Splits in 2018:
With temps looking favorable, the key may be how well I get through the Beaver Bay to County Road 6 stretch between miles 20 to 44. It's got some pretty decent climbs and typically they're right in the mid day heat with some exposed ridgeline running. Last year I struggled badly and spent almost 25 minutes in the Silver Bay aid station at Mile 25. In order to hit my goal, I think I'm going to need to get into the halfway point at Finland having shaved some time off of last year's 12:03. From there I'll be heading into the night pacerless for the first time ever, and that's where the mental battle will begin to keep pushing hard. Pretty sure my wife will be bringing me home from Oberg to the Finish, so that will serve as motivation through the night. I'll also be motivated immensely by all the glory that will undoubtedly be heaped upon me from my internet running friends following my mid-pack finish.
