Oh I talk a big game, but a hundred miler is waaaay outta my league. Leadville is a beautiful place and I think that race would be one of the nicer 100s. They actually hold a training camp for the Leadville 100 that looks like more fun than the actual race. At least more interesting in a people watching study sorta way. I'm not so sure about a 100 miler in Wisconson.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

Search this site or PM a guy named hefe. He and his wife did the Disney last winter. hefe did actually pulled off the Goofey (both the mini and the full).
I've actually never really done any trail running...probably nothing more than a couple miles.

I'd do a 100-mile race if I could do it as a team...not really have to run all 100 and still get the free t-shirt. :)

38 mile fun run? I love it...

I'd be up for that...I want to do an ultra at some point.

I've got some friends who do ultras and might be up there. Hmmm.
Ticking is gym climbing outdoors.
