This February, I’m taking a flying leap past my usual requirements of competing in offbeat, obscure, wacky, or just plain ridiculous contests.
Instead, I’m entering a race that’s just plain insane.
I’m running an ultramarathon.
The Uwharrie Mountain Run is a 40-mile trail run billed as “a true adventure that requires intense concentration.” That’s probably because the course promises treacherous hills, ample opportunities to fall down, the potential to easily get lost in the forest, and numerous stream crossings, which depending on the weather, could be freezing cold.
Of course, it could also be raining.
Or snowing.
Fortunately, I’ll probably be far too insane to care.
