I sent in my registration for the Damn Wakely Dam Ultra last week. I had read that the due to returning runners, they were already full, and new registrations would be going to a waiting list. But I sent my registration in anyway. I got an email last night telling me that I had been accepted! Way cool! I have never run an ultramarathon before. My longest run was the Las Vegas Marathon. I am currently training for the Buffalo Marathon (which reminds me, I need to register for that). I just need to keep running! The Wakely Dam Ultra should be interesting. The LVM was flat, and had water stations every mile. The Wakely Dam Ultra has no water stations, and will be run through the Adirondacks, so will have lots of terrain. If I can’t run anymore, then I should be at least able to walk. I’ll need to do some research as far as what to do about water. I have a small Camelbak, but I may want to look at getting a larger one.
