What's Next?
Anyone who's glanced at my
training calendar or my waistline lately may be wondering "uh, are you going to move soon?"
RAAM is out of the question for at least two years, maybe more. Mentally, I've gotten to a point where I can move on from RAAM, but a part of me will never be satisfied until I complete the race. There are so many other things I'd like to do, Mountain biking, adventure racing, hiking. I've wanted to do the Great Divide Race for awhile, but that would require a substantial time commitment to complete (the fastest solo finisher took 18 days). I don't think I want to chase something that big yet. I think I learned about this from UltraRob.
Check out the Jeantex Transalp Race, it's just 600k and it's in the Italian Alps. Here's their site and another article from CNN.
I'd like to take the kids on hikes on the Appalachian Trail, but even closer to home is the Cross County Connector. I tried taking the kids on the CCT, but it currently has a lot of singletrack, so I can't pull the trailer, we'd have to hike it.
