2022
I completed a lot of events in 2022, but I didn't start writing entries for this book until I ran the Big Cottonwood Marathon in September. So, the links in the Event column are my event reports when I've written them or to official times or Strava entries when I haven't.
My big race of 2022 was the Cocodona 250. I wound up doing it without a crew or pacer, so I "ran" it very conservatively. I was not particularly beaten up at the end, so in the following week I ran 85 miles and rode my bike another 70. Strava shows that I "ran" 740 miles in May of 2022 and just over 3,000 in all of 2022.
The majority of entries in this table are races, but in most cases I did not "race" them; I finished them at an enjoyable pace. The non-races I've included are mostly social training runs that I try to do every year.
I "ran" the Cedro Peak 50k in a fasted state, and only consumed water until the third to last aid station when I had a beer. At the next two aid stations I also had a beer. Those three beers were my only calories that day until after I had finished the race.
The BARGE Fun Run is what got me started running (back in 2009!). It's a long story. However, in 2022, most of the participants did a 5k loop. I did that loop then ran back to join a walker.
I was the five hour pace group leader.
Although it has no separate ruck division, I chose to race the Tatonka 5k while wearing my pack. It weighed 41.8 pounds.
