Week 27 2014 Recap

July 7 - July 13

One week to go!  I am feeling good this week as I lowered my mileage and got a few faster paced runs in this past week.  This next week I will be up at Lake George camping Sunday night until Wednesday.  Then back to home until Friday evening when we head down to check-in and camp out the night before the race.  
The start is at 4am and there will be runner tracking available at http://www.barttiming.com/summer/results14/vt100-splits-14.htm
Hillary will attempt to update the Twitter feed as reception allows from the crew allowable aid stations (http://www.vermont100.com/aid_stations.html)

I just started ultra running in 2013. I have done a couple Ironman triathlons then I did not train much for about 3 years. On July 27, 2013, after a long bike ride with some friends I got the itch and signed up for the Virgil Crest 50 mile ultra. I was able to place second overall and tie the previous course record. My longest week included a 27 mile run and a weekly total of 50 miles. I am curious what I can do with adequate training ...

I attempt to take advantage of each season and cross train as much as possible to prepare for my upcoming 2014 ultra running races. Below you will find excerpts from my training days and races. You can search the blog for individual race reports or other key words on the bottom right-hand side. I work full-time as a professor at Castleton State College, so I utilize weekends for longer workouts and do what I can during the week.

Let me know if you want to go for a run!
