This year started out to be year focussed around Mountains to Beach(M2B) marathon, but that got derailed due to my lack of training in Feb and Mar. But I was able to regroup a bit and log some good miles in past 6 weeks and managed to get a decent finish at Inaugural Quicksilver 100k(14:58). With a course like that I was glad with a finish of any kind and I did fairly well.
But my goals for M2B changed from a quest for BQ to probably 3:15 and around kind of performance. I was not hitting splits for my BQ which was 3:10. I suppose it has to wait another training cycle, maybe sometime later in the year at CIM 2014.
So with another 10 days from the race, I am just focussing on a good recovery and do my best on May 25th. my friend Dharmendra is here from Bangalore to attempt for BQ and I am very hopeful of this performance there.
Beyond M2B I have slowly started dreaming about possibility of a 100M at Pine to Palm 100 in Sep my running clubmate Dennis has signed up as well. with a 100k under my belt it says I need to go out and train more !!
Some races/training runs going fwd would be:
Jun 14th: Bryce 50M
Jul 10th(Friday): MP to Mt Rose 40M training run
Jul 11th(Sat): 20M training run (Lex to Mt Sombrero repeat)
Aug 2nd: SF 50M
Aug 23rd: 30M training run(maybe 15 Fri + 20 Sat)
O Well.. these are just plans.. lets see how life plays out.
