Western States 100 Lottery Viewing Party

Western States 100 Lottery Viewing Party

  This Saturday, December 8th, is the lottery drawing for the Western States 100.  The drawing starts at 9AM and goes to 11AM.  I am entered into it this year for my first time ever.  Currently I have a 7.4 percent chance of being selected.

  I am having a viewing party at my house in Seattle (5116 S Willow Street, Seattle WA 98118) on this day.  If you are reading this, you are invited.  My wife and I will be serving breakfast to anyone who shows up at about 8:30 AM and then we will have my computer hooked up to our TV so we can watch for results and see if my name gets drawn.  I believe they have a live video feed that we will be able to watch.

  Hopefully I will be selected for this race but if not my back up plan is to run the Pine to Palm 100 mile race in Ashland, OR at the end of the September.  I will try to take some pictures of the party and give post race summary of what happened.  

  Currently I am not running for about another week because of my injury but I plan on starting running again on December 10th.  My first race for 2013 is February 17th, 2013 with the Lost Dutchman Marathon in Apache Junction, AZ.  I already have my tickets for that race.  And a new update to my 2013 race calendar is that I am going to try to enter the Chuckanut 50K in March which was just announced this week, it will also be a lottery drawing so hopefully I will be able to get in for that one.

Thanks for reading
