The dust hasn’t yet settled on the trails of the 4 100s I set out to complete this year, in fact one of them hasn’t event taken place, but already I’ve had to commit to deciding whether to enter the 2009 Western States 100. Following the cancellation of this years event because of forest fires, the organizers offered all the accepted entrants a place in the 2009 race, subject to meeting entry qualifications, without having to go through their lottery process. They’ve even offered a break on the usual entry fee, so how could I refuse!
As for the other events, I’m still undecided – but ‘never say never’.

If it all gets too much for Guthrie, you have willing substitute crew members, as I am sure you know.
