I'm not worried about this news, though. On the contrary, I'm quite excited. This is going to be a perfect test to see how hard I can push myself before American River.
Some of the competitors (that I know of) are: Timmy Parr, Ryan Burch, Nick Pedatella, and Nick Clark. Each of them has their own impressive record, and will likely be pushing for the number 1 spot to add to the list.
Similar to my outlook toward signing up for this race, I also have a lack of plan. The only thing I have in mind is that fact that I probably need to push the pace early on in order to even remotely have a chance at staving off Parr and his impressive speed (Olympics Trials marathoner, 31-flat road 10k), since the last 7 miles or so is all downhill. Yikes. Nick Clark and Ryan Burch also seem to have impressive sub-50 miler speed, with Burch running a 3:11 last year, and Nick having a few early CR's this year.
Needless to say, this will be an exciting race to take part in, as well as being a great tune up for my main goal this year.
hope it went well, Andy. Waiting on pins and needles for some results!
