Tahoe Rim Trail 50

I have honestly been struggling to put into words my experience at the Tahoe Rim Trail 50.

I loved it, enjoyed every minute of it. I loved the challenge of the climbs, I loved the people I met, I loved the whiskey shots and beer. Above all, the breathtaking scenery. Just stunning.

One of the easiest decision I will make when it comes to planning races for 2011 will be signing up for TRT next year. Probably the 50 again - the 100 is probably out of my reach for the time being, plus, I am not sure I would enjoy a lap in the dark. We'll see.

My goal was to finish, enjoy myself and take lots of pictures. I will let them do the talking for me.

A few more confirmed entries to add to the list.....

Ellerbe Springs Marathon. Two weeks before Umstead, the goal will have to be, 'finish alive', and 'don't get injured'. Another Mangum race - so far, I have enjoyed every one of their races, and I am certain that this will be no exception.

In May, I have signed up for the Buncombe Trail 34M in South Carolina.

July - a trip to California is called for. I have entered the Tahoe Rim Trail 50. Last year, after a business trip to California was extended through the race weekend, I helped out at the finish line when the 100 milers were coming through. The scenery is absolutely spectacular, and I really enjoyed my time there, so this one was on my "must do" list. Looking forward to it.
