Who's doing Clinton 30 miler in March?  I'd like to go back but wondering if that's too close to McNaughton 50.
I think we had another week in between last year.
 
Hopefully I'll be running again by then.  cry

I'm passing this year....last year was kinda blah for a few reasons and I don't want to rush back until i see if they fix it.
 
That said, for those that ARE going...the registration is now half full....so hurry!
 
 
don't forget there is a wonderful CITRA 10k/half/full marathon on the 10th of March Wink

I'm in.  Since Greg won't say it, I will - the shirt thing last year sucked, but since that's not a huge reason why I do these things it's not a show stopper (don't get me wrong, I like a cool shirt/sweatshirt as much as the next guy).  I was more disappointed for my brother since it was his first ultra.  Not sure what it is about this race, but I'll always have a soft spot for it.  Maybe it's the crappy weather, or the fact that it's a good race to judge your overall condition coming out of a long, cold winter.  Not sure how long there was between the races last year, but when I did the Illinois Slam in 2009 they were only two weeks apart.  Should be plenty of time - just think of it as a last long run before Potawatomi!  You'll be fiiiiiine!   Smiley

What do you mean, I have a great looking shirt!   Wink
 
That's was I was thinking Dex, just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.  I had an ITB issue come up and only finished 20 last year so I'd like to redeem myself.  Besides, the course seemed very runnable.  Is your brother going again?

Not sure if he's doing it or not - I asked him this weekend and he wasn't sure.  It really is a pretty runnable course, the hills are frequent but most of them are short enough you can run them once or twice at least.  Hope you're feeling up to it, but like Greg said don't wait - they are already half full!

Ok, I'm signing up.  
 
Hopefully I'm not too far out of running condition.  I've been biking a lot and am doing my Do YOU ultra swim tonight.  6000 yds! I have to say, running in the woods for 6-8 hours is sooo much more fun than looking at the bottom of a pool for 2 hours.

My brother, ladies and gentlemen.  Personally, I would have gone with GoofyWayne, but that's just me.   Grin  Should be fun, down to 29 spots - get off that fence!
