Looking forward to pacing at the Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler this weekend. Hopefully the trails are in good shape. Anyone else running/pacing?

Doing a trail marathon this year. Philmont Trail Race in August.

https://runsignup.com/Race/NM/Cimarron/PhilmontTrailRace

2023 I ran the 8 mile sprint. 1:30
2024 the heavy half. 17.25 miles, 4:11
This is the year for the full marathon.

Will be my first marathon of any type. Been running since fall of 2022. These Philmont races were my motivation to switch from hiking/walking (500 miles in 2022) to trail running (500 miles in 2024 and still 300 miles hiking/walking.) Have done 3 half marathons besides the heavy half. 1:55 my best time yet.

My only goal is to finish.

picks are open for Black Canyon 100/50K. Make your picks before next weekend.

Still time to join!

Got my first 100miler buckle this weekend at RR100. It was a great weekend for it. Weather was awesome.

Congrats!!! The weather was indeed fantastic and the course was great.

I was there as a Pacer for a 100M runner (for the 5th loop) and got her across the finish at 11:59:34. She didn't realize she had beaten the 30 hours until I told her after she finished.

We were behind the pace up until the last few miles, but she clawed back and got it the last few miles. It was great.

Was that Belinda?

Different runner (Fela). Such a wonderful feeling to get her across the line inside of her goal time. Made me feel good as a Pacer.

I've never run a 100 miler (and I never will), but I've really been enjoying pacing for friends who do.

Pacing is really fun. Especially if it's their first 100.

Got my first hundred in this past wknd at RR. Hardest thing I have ever done. Had my wife at mile 19 at one of the campsites crewing me which was a lifesaver. So happy we were blessed with a largely dry course this year.

Congrats! I honestly don't know how y'all run those ultra distances. I was tired from pacing and I only went the last 20 miles and the pace was really comfortable.

I just love the whole vibe of the trail racing scene. Nice folks, common interests, support for one another, etc. Just such a fun time.

Latest video in our "Beer Run" series, this one by my brother-in-law. Going to keep doing these when we visit places. Some trail running, some history, town insights, and breweries.

They released the 50k route for Three Days of Syllamo. 6000 ft in gain. That's going to be a long weekend.

If you've got Hans in your picks, hurry up and change them. He's sick and out for today.

Well, ***** I'm screwed. I didn't have him winning bit he was on my podium.
