#8 Ultra Completed! 100 by 100 Challenge 50K Classic

Happy New Year everyone!  Thanks for all the continued support!  Last year was great, and now 2013 will be even better!

I started 2013 by completing a new race that I made up myself called the "100 by 100 Challenge 50K Classic".  Since my schedule doesn't permit me too do any "official" ski race ultra this year, I decided to make up my own!  What the heck, why not!

It was a classic ski race in the Bighorn Mountains on Pole Creek road (basically now a snowmobile route) and in the Pole Creek Ski area.  About 80% of this race was not groomed, only packed by snowmobiles so it was rather slow and kind of rough to deal with, however when I went on the actual ski trails, it was quite nice.  It took me 6 1/2 hours and I had a total elevation gain of 2800 feet.  I had a great day!  Highs were in the 30's and not too much sun.  A little sticking was had, but not bad overall.  What a great workout!  My mom gave me energy throughout the whole day so I was well taken care of!  Lori and Shady met me at the 11 mile turnaround to give me support and badly need water bottles (thank God).

This is #8 Ultra and another $100.00 donated to Alzheimer's!
