I was registered for the Boulder 100, but I recently found out I'm pregnant so plans have to be changed.  I love the energy at distance races and would love to be able to experience it a few more times before the big day.  Hopefully there is a team out there that is in this more for fun than laps and will welcome me to their team.

I want to enjoy the challenge of a 24-hour race and, since we've recently moved, have not connected with other ultra runners in the area. It would be great to connect with some other guys who are looking to have a good time, but also post a solid time. I've finished Ironman triathlon and multiple marathons, but am just breaking into ultra running this season. My wife would be available to help crew.
