Madcity 100km Update

Plug for the home race
Just a reminder to those looking for a way to burn a few extra
calories before chowing into their chocolate Easter bunnies (and for
the non-Christians among you, please know that the chocolate Easter
bunny is an ecumenical item and can be consumed by people of any
faith or non-faith… my father was an agnostic and greatly enjoyed
his chocolate bunnies).
Anyhoo, a reminder that the Mad City 100K is Saturday, April 7, in
Madison, WI — the Saturday before Easter. It is the national 100K
championship, but people of “humble” foot speed are welcome to sign
up, as well as the speedsters. There is a 13-hour time limit. There
is also a relay division — a team can consist of up to 10 people
(the course is ten, 10K loops).
Madison is a hoot of a place for a race. Don’t be afraid of the
pavement — this course goes through the arboretum — very pretty.
So a special invitation to my fellow mid-packers to come and join me
at this first-ever run. Perhaps I’ll even come up with a new cookie
recipe just for the event (the TPs can testify that a new cookie
recipe is worth showing up for). Look for the L’il Mister on the
course for your own sample.

Hope to see you there… or at least some of you!
