Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run

After further consideration, the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 mile run is now in the lead and putting distance on the other 100's I have had on my summer running radar. I will be making a final decision soon but have to say that this will most likely be the one if/when I get around to making up my mind. It's tough for sure with an elevation low of 6,800 feet / high of 9,214 feet and 19,788 feet of climb/descent...maybe a little too tough? I can do it.

My training has been going well mixing hill work, tempo and long slow distance pretty regularly. I took a quick break at the beginning of February to let myself rest a little and now am back at it. If I continue at this level of intensity, my fitness shouldn't be a question so really it boils down to logistics and money. Crew for TRT would be optional. A pacer, however, would be nice to have so that is another question mark. There's not exactly a long line of runners forming yet, chomping at the bit to spend the night stumbling around the Sierra Nevada high country with a 100 mile rookie. Not just any idiot can pace in a 100...gonna need a special idiot. Luckily I know a few.
