 My hair has never been this short, but I'm trying to control temperatures. It's all about temperature control short hair control the temperature to sit down. It's a lot of work to pack for a 100 mile race. Whoa, I'm double checking just double checked but triple check in the morning all the gear. I feel good about the gear situation and feel real good about the gear situation. Actually, hello, hello. We are ready folks for this race to start in less than 48. Well, when you watch this about 24 hours, so it's getting close. It's hard to taper. You know, you got to pull back the reins and just rest. And for us ultra runners, it's hard to rest. We like to run and we like to exert energy in that way. I digress bottom line. We're leaving tomorrow and I want to talk real quick about my strategy for the race. Keep in mind I'm a rookie to the 100 mile distance. I am not a 100 mile veteran and I'm definitely going to be racing some serious, serious veterans. Guys that have run many, many 100 mile races. So I am going into it as a student of the sport with a lot of humility and just absorbing what I can from those around me wherever I'm at in the pack. Whether I'm in the front half toward the front, I don't know where I'm going to be. I do know though I'm not going to start off too fast, right? It's a 100 mile race. And that's an interesting mind game to work with as far as it's going to take like the course record is 17 hours 50 minutes. So it's going to take at least 18 hours to finish this course. 18 hours. And so you really can't fret and worry about slower pacing and slower times. And you got to throw your mile like your average mile pace out the window because it's 100 miles. Okay, basically the first 30 miles of the race, I feel like I can get through that feeling good. I usually get tired about mile 30 from mile 30 to mile 50. So mile 50 is Olympian Hall Aid Station in the town of Steamboat Springs. That's where I'll see my crew for the second time. And I believe for mile 30, I know for mile 30 to mile 50 is overall downhill. That's a good thing. So I think I can get to mile 50 feeling decent and in one piece. So get to the halfway point mentally and physically in one piece and feeling okay. I'm not going to feel great. It's going to hurt. I know that. But if I can get to that first time through Olympian Hall feeling decent, I'm going to be very excited, very excited. And then from there, we go out from Olympian Hall onto these trails that I've already previewed two weeks ago when I was up in Steamboat. I ran these trails just to get to know them. I'm going to be running them at night though this time. That's going to be nighttime. I'll have my headlamp. And it's a 14 mile loop through these amazing beautiful trails. And we're going to come back to Olympian Hall. So that's mile 64. And if I can get to 64, so that section is not easy, the 14 mile loop. It's not easy. So I know I'm going to be tired at 64. And that is the beginning of the toughest part of the course in my opinion. Because for the next 16 miles, we're going back uphill to mile 80. And so it's going to be hard from 64 to 80. But I like uphill, right? I'm decent at uphill running. From mile 80, if I can get to mile 80, if I can get there, then from 80 to the finish, it's overall downhill. It's like 3,000 feet of downhill running. So strategy is to get to 64 in one piece, mentally still okay. And kind of get myself amped up for that 16 mile climb to mile 80, which is the Summit Lake Aid Station. All I'm saying is I'm excited to have fun out there, right? Have fun. That's why I'm doing this stuff. And to bring the family and the crew along for this journey. So thanks for stopping by. I'm going to show you my gear laid out one more time. I don't know actually for the first time today. And it's looking good. I feel confident that I have everything, but I will triple check in the morning and then we're off to steamboat. So you guys rock, come back I guess tomorrow for the last vlog before the race starts. Seek beauty, work hard, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
