Good Luck, I won't be running any of those... OK the State are just a little to far away for me, and I like to do well in races, so I'm looking for smaller races this year!
ReplyDeleteYour Gorge Falls link directs to the Mount Hood 50M.
ReplyDeleteThat list has a strong correlation to a list of my favorite races. I'd love to see someone enter all these lotteries then do whatever races they get lucky with. That would be an epic way to choose an entire season with it all out of your control.
