Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run

Dean Karnazes aka the UltraMarathon Man is one inspiring man.  He pushes the limits & knows what it truly means to go after your goals passionately.  He's accomplished some amazing/incredible physical feats: running for 350 miles straight (without sleeping), 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states, & many more.  His most recent bucket-list item is still in the works.  He's talking to forrest services across the country to put together a trail that starts at the Pacific & ends at the Atlantic.  He says that it'll take him 100 days, running about 42 miles/day.  He claims that this will encourage others to jump on the train of a healthy life style.
Needless to say,... he's passionate about running, being healthy, creating bucket-lists, aspiring to bucket-list items & of course, accomplishing challenges.  While doing all this he is a full-time Husband & Father.
After reading his book I added several more goals to challenge my limits & grow in character.  For example: running 47 miles within 24 hrs (check), finishing a 100 miles ultra endurance run (which will be checked off my list on Sept 11, 2011)
The Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run is one of the most uniquely challenging ultrarunning events in the world.  "It is a study in contrasts: peaks and valleys, trails and scree, heat and cold, wet and dry, summer and winter, day and night, "I can't" and "I will!".
"The Wasatch 100 is a point-to-point race that traverses the heart of the central Wasatch Mountains.  The course begins in east Kaysville, Utah at the foot of Francis Peak, and the ascent begins with a climb of nearly 5000 feet in 9 miles to the crest of the Wasatch Mountains,, The trail then turns south along the Francis Peak ridge, through Farmingon Flats and Arthur's Fork, along Sessions ridge, over City Creek Pass, Big Mt. Pass, Bald Mountain, through, Parley's Canyon, Lambs Canyon, Millcreek Canyon, around Desolation Lake, along the Wasatch Crest trail, through Big Cottonwood and American Fork Canyon, over Pole Line Pass, around Mill Canyon Peak, down Pot Hollow Canyon, up to Crest Road in Wasatch Mountain State Park, down Lime Canyon to Snake Creek Road and to the finish at the Homestead in Midway."
Needless to say,... I've been training.
