after many weeks of discussion and debate Sean and I have decided to try and tackle the Rocky Raccoon 50 miler in February. coincidence has it that Sean used to train on the the trail the race will be held on while he was in college and I have also had RR on a my list of races I wanted to do. while on a training run yesterday we decided that 2009 would be the year.
we have exactly 7 weeks until the race - 7 weeks to train for a 50 miler. we have been training our marathoners for 16 weeks now and we are going to try and run a 50 miler in 7 weeks - can you say cookoo.
Sean is just coming off a marathon in early December and we both ran well over 30 miles in the Ragnar race so there is some base mileage there - the big thing is to get the nutrition in order. nutrition (and heat) was my biggest challenge in the Key West 50 so we will try a little harder to have a better plan.
At the very least - it will be a good training run before heading back to Key West for the 50 miler in May - squeeze in Duathlon Nationals and the first part of the year is set!
Keep checking back for updates on training and the RR race.
