Trail running 2020

I stopped updating this last year. Partly because I procrastinated on making post-race writeups until I'd forgotten the details. Partly because #noonecaresyourunultras. I lost interest really.

This year I'm changing things up. In the past I've run 10-12 races per year, from 5k to 100 miles. I can't afford and don't have time for all that, so...

I'm dropping everything but the three hardest races I know of in Central IL.

Potawatomi 100 mile
Cry Me a River (CMAR) 100 mile
Temptation 200km (125 mile)

They're each a couple months apart, fortunately. And different goals for each.

For Pot100 I want to significantly beat my previous time. CMAR I just want to finish that 100 before the cutoff and not die. Temptation I want to finish the full 200km this time.
