Ready for Rocky
In less than 48 hours I will be starting my third 100 miler. On Saturday morning I will be toeing the line (more like lollygagging at the back) for the start of Rocky Raccoon. After I finished my first marathon two years ago and was wondering what was next, I came across this race report. Strangely, I was intrigued more than scared by the thought of continuing past the marathon distance. So, after several ultras, I am going to the scene of the crime, running the same ultra that Misty ran in that race report. The author will also be there, along with her husband and a lot of other ultra running celebrities. (Do names like Krupicka, Gingerich, Jurek, Koerner, Meltzer, Howard, Gardner, Perry ring any bells?) It should be a Super Bowl of 100 milers out there and with a loop course with several sections of two-way traffic, I'll have tickets on the 50-yard line.

Good Luck this weekend! You seem very calm in your post - that's a great sign. Can't wait to read your race report!
I'm very calm about the race, but I'm freaking out about getting to the race. Houston is expecting snow and some flights are already being canceled!
Good luck! What an amazing undertaking!
Have SUCH a fun time, and good luck!! I'll be thinking of you running over the weekend!!
The results show that you "dropped" at 100 miles. WTF? I'd drop after 100 miles, too, I thought that was the point. Anyway, I hope this means you finished; you always looked good and perky out there. Meanwhile, I'm wishing they'd post the 50 mile results already. I mean, I know it's the "fun run," but geez.
