Nice list!
ReplyDeleteThink you meant Massanutten (instead of masochist). Both of them will leave your ankles swollen, so no diff I guess. Which are you shooting for?
Yes, thanks for that correction! Aside from putting my name in for WS100 and Miwok, I'm just now thinking about it. Recommendations welcome!
DeleteLeadville is not a lottery, 1st come 1st serve!!!
ReplyDeleteChris
Awesome.
DeleteI think you meant Massanutten Mountain 100 not Mountain Masochist 100.
ReplyDeleteNattu.
Yes, thanks for the correction!
DeleteIt's notable that Miwok (or is that UltraSignup?) wants your $167 first, ask questions later... but perhaps that's well justified given the demand... I'll personally gladly play along and I don't have any issues with this sequence whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteTahoe Rim Trail isn't lottery but opens Jan 1 (I think at midnight). It's getting pretty popular now.
ReplyDeleteAt least at WS they don't whack you for the $370 (ouch!) til after you beat the odds against being picked, which are like 1 in 10. Not sure if I'm hoping to be picked or spared!
ReplyDelete@Vladimir, unless I'm mistaken and based on my previous experiences, Tia/Mark would not touch to your credit card until/unless you are picked except to check it's a valid one. But the idea is that you cannot retract if your name gets picked in the hat.
