The drop bags are prepared. The crew materials are organized. Meetings with pacers and crew complete. The checklist has one thing left. Run.
Two days until the 2012 Angeles Crest 100 mile endurance run. If you wish to track my self imposed suffering starting Saturday at 5am through Sunday at 2pm – http://www.ac100.com/live
See you on the other side.
altitude training in Zermatt, Switzerland
AC100 is in 10 days. The bulk of the physical training is done and taper is in full effect. A bit of heat training remains in the next few days. Yesterday was my last “speed” workout for the foreseeable future. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be and am now planning logistics like drop bags etc. Last but not least is the mental preparation. I’m more excited than scared, which may be foolish but I’ll take it.
Along with a few fellow Coyotes, I’ve logged about 200 miles on the AC course in the past couple months along with several ascents of Mt. Baldy and various runs in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The most recent training included some epic running and hiking miles in the mountains of Switzerland.
