I pondered the Cajun Coyote 100 in place of Run Like the Wind but I think I'll stay in Texas that weekend. Miracle Match will probably happen unless I find a suitable ultra that weekend or the one before. DDG is a lock.

The family trip to California we'd planned for August will now be in April, obviously. I probably won't mind losing the August 100 and gaining something of an offseason. After this ridiculous summer I'll appreciate stepping back to 25- or 30-mile weeks for a bit when it's 100 every day (and 83 every night).

I'm not convinced the Vegas trip is going to happen given the other three fly-outs next year (Boston, Big Sur, OD100). I may well do Cajun Coyote then instead.
