Not much, really. Not as many 100s as usual, but &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feb: Iditarod Trail Invitational 350<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the big adventure of the year. Due to the length, it&#8217;s probably physically harder than TDG despite the terrain being easier (and well, if there&#8217;s a lot of new snow, it could become extremely hard). Pulling a 35lbs sled over snow is basically like running a moderately steep uphill. But really the challenge is that it&#8217;s just extremely remote, with very little support and with volatile conditions which can turn pretty frightening in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>March: White Mountains 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the hardest 100s, again a winter one, it&#8217;s a ton of fun. We&#8217;ll see in what kind of shape I&#8217;ll be after ITI &#8211; maybe I should try it on a bike this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>April: Zion 100?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one looks like a blast, not terribly hard but I love the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>July: Hardrock 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I got in!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>August: <a title=\"PTL\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ultratrailmb.com\/page\/23\/PTL.html\" target=\"_blank\">PTL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The big daddy of the UTMB, this one is a team event without rankings in the results. It&#8217;s self-supported (though with special rates at refugios) and unmarked. The trails look quite difficult at times. Almost as long and high as TDG, with a bit less time. It&#8217;ll be a formidable challenge. My team mate is Daniel Benhammou, who&#8217;s super strong, tough and nice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>September: TDG?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TDG starts one week after PTL ends. It would be glorious. And stupid. Very very stupid. We&#8217;ll see on Feb 1 if I can grab a spot &#8230; I hope not.<\/p>\n<p>Wishlist:<\/p>\n<p>Nolan&#8217;s 14 and Colorado Trail<\/p>\n<p>How awesome would those be (apart of the fact that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do Nolan&#8217;s in 60 hours, but who cares, it&#8217;s not really organized anyways). But the time is getting short &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all the plans I have for now. Last year I raced 6 100s, 1 200 miler and RTP Nepal 150 miles stage &#8211; 950 miles. This year maybe &#8230; 350 + 2 100s + 2 200s &#8230; 950 miles again! So maybe it&#8217;s not so little.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too much traveling, not enough time for blogging &#8230; But I&#8217;ve got at least some pictures posted of TDG and Nepal (already!):<\/p>\n<p>Nepal<\/p>\n<p>TDG 2011<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s in the plans for 2012?
