The new year has arrived. Hopefully, it will be a good one. I definitely have some big events lined up for the year. The main focus will be the Tahoe 200 Mile Run in September. It is a complete loop around Lake Tahoe almost all on trail. It is put on by Candice Burt and her company. It will be the 4th edition. It should be an incredible trip and run. I just hope I will be ready for it. To get ready for it, I will need to do a ton of hill/steps work throughout the summer. Tahoe has about 40,000 feet of elevation change.
Other races that are lined up so far leading to Tahoe are the Starved Rock Marathon in May, The Mohican 50 Mile in June, still looking for something in July, and Howl at the Moon 8 Hour in August.
I did get some pretty interesting news this afternoon. Had a nice lunch with Dave Giacomi who offered to come to Tahoe to crew and/or pace for me a few weeks ago. The offer came out of the blue, and it is a generous offer. But he seems real excited about doing this. We will have to see if everything comes together, but it is encouraging for me. We will do some long runs together over the spring and summer as well. Dave is training for a marathon and the Christmas in July 12 Hour where he hopes to cover 50 miles. Needless to say, I am really excited in the possibility of having him help me to a finish. Thanks, Dave!
