With only a few days left in 2023, its time to fire up the '24 thread. As always, this is the thread for anything trail or ultra running-related. Personal goals/races/projects, pro news, videos, etc.
I'll kick things off my with 2024 goals:
- Black Canyons 100K. I'm running this one again. Last year, I only got about 6 weeks of training in due to recurrence of an injury, so it was a long, long day. Should be able to cut several hours off my time from last year. This will check the box for the WS100 lottery.
- Angeles Crest 100. I'm currently #16 on the waitlist, so almost guaranteed I'm getting in. That said, if I don't, my brother-in-law is running, so I'll go crew/pace if I don't get in.
- Barkley Fall Classic. I'm in again. My brother-in-law got in for the 3rd straight year. Looking forward to going back and hopefully getting a finish. When I ran it in 2021, I was coming off a major injury and it was my first race in almost 2 years. I timed out on the course, coming up Rat Jaw.
- Launch of a video project. My brother-in-law and I are starting a youtube channel for ****s and giggles. Nothing too serious, and we certainly aren't trying to be "influencers." More to come, but will be putting out content starting in January.
There will definitely be some other goals/projects to come, but this is my calendar so far.
