I ran TNF Endurance Challenge in Madision, WI last October. Very organized race. Trail was clearly marked. Good aid stations. Scenic trail. I highly recommend the series. You really get what you pay for.

Great episode as always Dave!!
Maybe this is what we are chasing?
I was reading the most recent Running Times and there was a clip that stuck out in my brain about why we do what we do…
It was an interview with Charlie Engle. For those of you that don’t know.. Charlie is one of the ones that ran across the Sahara Dessert, runs the Western States 100 miler etc, you get the drift. Charlie said he once was talking to a multiple Boston Marathon finisher and he asked the guy “During your first marathon.. were you scared that you might not finish??” The Boston Marathoner says “of course.. I was scared to death”. Charlie then says something like this “now when you run your marathons.. are you afraid that you might not finish?” The Boston Marathoner without hesitating says “there is no doubt in my mind that I will finish”. Charlie’s point has been made.
For me.. this hits home!!
Best of luck on the 50 miler!! Your going to knock it out of the park.
