It was my first time running the distance, and it was great being able to find a "flatish" 100k close to home (SLC) to start out with. (The climb up to North Sentry certainly didn't feel flatish the second time around!) I also liked the fact that it was a fall run. Established ultrarunners might be able to start out with the ultras early in the spring (such as your Buffalo Run 50 miler), but I felt that I needed the spring and summer to build up to it.<br /><br />I can understand that it might be hard to justify having the volunteers out there with so few runners, but I'd hope that you'll give the 100k option one more shot at a different date, like you're mentioning above. By the way, the volunteers were just great. I mentioned it on Facebook as well, but without the North Sentry aid station I would most likely have given up. <br /><br />I'm definitely considering coming back next year (and I'm already signed up for the Buffalo Run 50 miler).<br />Tobias (Christian) Sorensennoreply@blogger.com
