A Masochist's Paradise

So, I did a thing last week. I signed up for the Habenero Hundred on Aug. 12. I'm *only* doing the 20K because I'm crazy, but not insane. The real masochists are doing the 100-mile and 100K. Here's the rub: the race starts at high noon for the big distances. For the rest of us, we start at 12:30. PM. In August. In Texas. I'm hoping to not throw up because I am known to do that in the heat or if I ingest too much ice-cold water (but, oh, it tastes sooo good going down.) Also big shout-out to Liza Howard for winning the Badger 100. Other pod-adjacent folks who finished the 100 include Jenny Gruber and Lydia Rios. And high-five to my buddy, Chris Prairie for crushing the 50K.
