BIG

Scratch that last blog post.  While reading the fine print in the race doc for RR100 I see that their is no crew parking at Nature Center and Park Rd aid stations anymore.  That changes everything.  That single change reverts it back to how that race was years ago.  The runner sees his crew only at the main start/ finish area (every 20 miles) and that was total drag for this runner and family/crew/ wife.

I know that some runners are very self sufficient and have little or no crew or pacers but Misty is an integral part of any success I might have had all these years.  To put it plainly, there's no way I'd be able to finish RR100 only seeing Misty/crew every 20 miles.

So, in my quest to do something REALLY BIG I'm run the Rouge-Orleans event in Feb 2014.  It is a 126.2 mile run from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.  It is predominantly a relay but 26 people finished the solo in '13.  They give you 42hrs to finish and it all coincides with Mardi Gras.
