Generally I like to do one or two big epic events.
I planned on racing the Breckenridge 100
.I really loved this race last year and was looking forward to some redemption on Loop 3. Well this year they have changed the race from a Saturday race to a Sunday race. Sunday races don't work with my schedule so unfortunately I will not be able to make the Breckenridge 100 this year. I am seriously bummed. The race organizer said the UCI threw him a curve ball and he had to move it back a day this year. Hopefully next year it is on a Saturday again and I can race it.
Of course I entered my lottery ticket into the Leadville 100 again this year. But lets be honest, its a shot in the dark anymore to get in Leadville. I have tried the last 6 years and have only gotten in twice. An entry this year would be great but I am not counting on it.
So now what?
I really love high elevation races nestled in the pines with soft loamy dirt.
I really had not even looked at a race calendar as I thought I had it all figured out.

yeah, i'm facing the same thing. Luckily, we have the wonderful folks at Utah State Championship Series that have put together a couple 50 milers this summer. You know there will be plenty of PCP2P entries available a week before the race and there's the Crusher which seems like a cool race as well. I've considered Pierre's Hole up in Grand Targhee as a viable option to consider as well.
Leadville Siver Rush 50 is that same weekend. Not too expensive, and it's supposed to still be somewhat difficult. I have an in-law family reunion in Winter Park that weekend so I'll probably do that race to retain my sanity.
