Re: Running Races 2009

Oh crumbs it was never an agenda - far too many, just a list of races that appealed. Putting them all in one list, just helped me decide which ones to aim for at the beginning of the year. I ran a few but not so many as 2008, too many other sports to play at too.
Ahh, thanks for clarifying that Still, many of those races look pretty amazing - I would love to do just one of them one day!

I wonder if someone can help me though...i'm pretty keen on trying out an ultramarathon in 2010, nothing too severe, perhaps anywhere up to 60km. However, almost all of the events i have seen in Switzerland also involve altitude, and in some cases, serious altitude! I think this might be a bit too much for my first ultra. I was therefore looking to try one out in the UK (where i lived prior to moving to Switzerland) where i can find quite a few events that are flat or at most, undulating. Depending on how i go in one of these events, i might then consider an ultra here.

Can anyone tell me if this sounds like the best approach? Are there any ultra/mountain runners out there who could advise me?

Thanks in advance!
