| we took them straight to Camp DeBoer from the race! |
SOB 50k (July 12) was the first big race of the year. I wasn't too tuned up for this, but I figured this was part of my training for Pine to Palm. Came in 14th o/a with a time of 5:20. I think I should be able to do sub 5 hrs next time. Started cramping on the flat sections on the way back. Mark giving me some salt pills really helped me out. Molly biked up to the start... after hearing that, I couldn't get beat by her. Good times with Alex Harary, Mark, Ken Strava ultrasignup

Waldo 100k with Sam & Josh- Met up with the Nickelsens at Crater Lake the day before while Kimbo went to the coast. At the race I went for the Wet Waldo to honor past champs like Scott Martin. On the way, I got caught by Mosi King and we decided to team up and do the Wet Waldo together. strava
Probably the most fun 100k I've done.
- Sept - NICA 2 (Moore Fun - Nikko 2nd, Kai 5th), Nikko & Kai XC races, NICA 3 (Bachelor & soggy mushroom hike),
Pine to Palm - the Swan Song Edition - the final P2P! So yeah, I had to step up. And no, I wasn't in shape, but I still managed to muster up a sub 24 finish. Wasn't as hot or smokey, which helped.
