going into the Bear Chase Trail Race

two weeks before race day i did my second "low*" 20 miler in the morning and another 11miles later in the day. the next morning i did 11 on some trails that should be much more rugged than what i hit on race-day.

a week before race day, i ran a 16:44 barefoot 5k, so my aerobic capacity is pretty solid.

ive been sauna training consistanly 2+ times per week for the last month, so im hoping for some higher temps in the last hour or so to help me hold whatever place i end up with.

*Low: heavy, no-carb breakfast, no caffiene, nothing during the run (no gatorade, no water, no gu)

thats about everything for this one. im looking to be competitive at this one and im not sure what that means yet, but a top-10 finish would be great. the plan is to go out fast and see what happens...
