24 Hour National Championship

I will be driving to Cleveland, Ohio today and staying through Sunday morning. I will be running in the USATF 24 Hour National Championship Saturday and Sunday.

The 24 hour race starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning and ends on Sunday at 9 a.m. My goal heading into the weekend is to try run over 100 miles. Back in March, I ran/walked 50 miles in just over 11 hours on a hilly course. This course is not hilly. It is a flat loop. I'm hoping I can meet my goal since it is a flat course.

Besides trying to meet my goal mileage, I want to stay awake as long as I can. I was part of a Ragnar Relay team Chicago back in 2011. I only slept for 1-2 hours for the entire relay. I'm hoping to have the same kind of success of staying awake this time around. If not, I can walk off the course and take a nap in my car. If I choose to take a nap, it won't be for long. I need to get my miles in.

I'm looking forward to this new experience. It will be different from Ragnar Chicago because I'm depending on myself and not teammates. I want to see what I can do.
