I'll be happy with anything under 2:35. Sounds like you've got more snow than us right now - nothing but a few scrapes of ice here. Have fun in the mountains.<br /><br />Dad - I think they do the drawing in December for the UTMB lottery, but from what I understand there are also up to 50 competitive entries set aside, so I'm looking into that too. I'm 90% certain that it's a go, but will know for sure in a month or so.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-47448843008959547232010-12-02T08:43:39.949-08:002010-12-02T08:43:39.949-08:00Let's try to organise a family holiday around ...Let's try to organise a family holiday around UTMB.

I have a limited amount of time to devote to running, so typically figure that I get the best bang for my buck by just running.<br /><br />On UTMB, I am hoping that my parents will make it across from the UK to help out, but haven't really started planning for it yet. I don't even know for sure if I have a spot in the race yet.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-66698981780628773572010-12-01T06:13:24.185-08:002010-12-01T06:13:24.185-08:00Do u have a crew allready for UTMB?

I put ...A guaranteed entry - that's about it. <br /><br />I put the marathon on the calendar in Feb for the specific reason of doing something different in training this year than last year. The basic idea is to build a bit of speed through the winter before launching into a similar three-month phase to last year, which was essentially to run as much vert and mileage as reasonably possible. But it's all part of the four-year plan that has me peaking at 40, ready to rock out the masters scene ;)<br /><br />Pretty certain I'll be doing the up only at Pikes, given its proximity to UTMB, which I'm also planning on running.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-81382775369356628212010-11-30T06:09:57.825-08:002010-11-30T06:09:57.825-08:00No love for 4th place, eh?
