And just when I was thinking maybe America is experiencing something of an Ultra race bubble, or at least a 100 mile race bubble. There are many old ones but many new ones, too. Many are apparently selling out. Others just filling.Neal Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817697044864768312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-19296464184058025302012-01-11T20:00:17.912-05:002012-01-11T20:00:17.912-05:00Yeah, Umstead filled in 3 minutes, so might be har...Yeah, Umstead filled in 3 minutes, so might be hardest to get into (non-lottery edition).

Still, you're right, it will sell out. So with VT, Cascade Crest, San Diego and Tahoe that makes 10 (TEN!) sell-out 100s in the US.<br /><br />Ammmeeriiccaa...

And Tahoe also sells out, so I'd put CA at 4 sell-outs a year.

How great would be it to podium (in 3rd place, no offense!) with Kilian and Matt. That photo would be a wall framer, my friend.

He may still take Kilian on the climb, but on the descent he simply doesn't have a chance. The writing has been on the wall for a few years now, but for whatever reason everyone seems to want to run the Ascent and let Matt continue to win the M.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-25083740287402978432012-01-11T09:21:37.585-05:002012-01-11T09:21:37.585-05:00Bryon, wow... you are correct.

Wouldn't surprise me if the San Diego 100 becomes so popular in the near future that it too sells out.<br /><br />So let's see...the sell out 100s are now what? Massanutten, Western States, Hardrock, Angeles Crest, Leadville and Wasatch. Any others? Badwater is not a 100 so I am not including that one. But it is in CA, too! What other US 100s are on the brink of becoming sell outs or lottery races within the next few years? Anyone have any insight?Neal Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817697044864768312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-72280131993798320662012-01-10T21:39:17.148-05:002012-01-10T21:39:17.148-05:00Ha, I'll be looking to bum floor space before ...Ha, I'll be looking to bum floor space before I book a time share in Colorado this summer... but I'll be there at least three times and more likely four!<br /><br />A side note: although I don't think it's done so in a while, Angeles Crest is solid out for 2012 so California now has two sold out 100s.Bryon Powellhttp://www.irunfar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-15489088997707383042012-01-10T21:32:12.709-05:002012-01-10T21:32:12.709-05:00Amen!
