“The Wagathon is a roughly 29 mile “fat-ass” run that starts at Sam’s Point in Ellenville, New York and runs along the Shawangunk Ridge through some of the most beautiful single track trails (16mi.) and carriage paths (13mi.) you can find, with unmatched views in all directions along the extent of the run. The running has ended at the Mountain Brauhaus in Gardiner and the Gilded Otter in New Paltz in the past, but lately it has been finishing at the Red Brick Tavern in Rosendale. The Wag has gone from a handful of people to several handfuls despite the complete lack of organization, the course changing each year, not really marking the course, and relying on word of mouth to advertise the Wagathon’s existence.”

When I did the Cat’s Tail race trial, I met the race director of Wagathon, Mike Siudy. And he suggested me to run his Fat Ass race, and he assured me that I would love it. Long story short, I was complaining about how the trail in Lake Minewaska – Shawangunks was a little too civilized, most of them are carriage road. And Mike promised me that I would find a lot of hidden gems on his race. And as I remembered, he said it would be a nice and easy run, which turned out far from easy.
This Fat Ass race was pretty unique. We could start whenever would work for us and would finish at a bar, which was awesome. Mike made a turn by turn documentation that was uber detail. Yet he did a pretty good job with the marking on the trail. Oh yeah, the way this race worked, each of us needed to find 5 cards along the course as our check point, then at the finish line, the bar, we needed to show those card to the RD to get the finisher sticker. Pretty entertaining
Yeah I got Hanna Montana!

“Pinhoti 100 is a Point to Point endurance run starting at Pine Glen Campground in Choccolocco Mgt Area just northeast of Heflin AL. 100.59 miles in length with just over 14,000 ft of climb and descent with a total of 28,000 ft of elevation change. The Pinhoti Trail is some of the most beautiful trail that navigates over rocks, through creeks and over Cheaha Mountain, (2408ft) the highest point in Alabama while traversing the Talladega National Forest. Although not a first timer course many 100 mile virgins come to complete each year. Some succeed and some fail. The course is very doable for the properly trained runner. We and all the awesome volunteers are here to help you reach your goal to the finish line!”

I did this race last year, but I did not finish due to my ankle injury on the mile 68. It broke my heart. And this year I came back with a determination to finish this race, despite my pelvis and hamstring injury on my right, but I convinced myself to get a revenge.
Before Pinhoti, I had assured myself that I would be ready. I had done a few races that much harder than Pinhoti trail. Those races that had harsher weather like TDS in the Alps, or crazy technical course like in TNF Bear Mountain and Manitou. I had done more technical trail and hill repeat training. I did many solo run multiple times. Those training gave me confident, but probably over confident.
Also this time I had Dan to crew me, that was really made my mind in peace since Dan was an experienced runner and had done plenty ultra marathon.

Back to my lovely hills at the Silvermine Lake. This time not only training for my uphill and downhill pace for my Pinhoti 100 – 2014, which is coming up in a couple of weeks, but also I was also testing my new running gears from Orange Mud. They were the HydraQuiver Double Barrel and their ingenious Transition & Seat Wrap towel.
This time I learned my lesson. I brought my new monkey phone, map, one bottle of water and one bottle of tailwind. As my ritual, I did a short loop as a warm up, and this time I checked my map on the junction. And then I did 4 reps of hill repeat. I wished I could stay longer, but I had 3 different parties to attend that day. Thank you to Orange Mud towel, I could change my clothes at the parking lot, and became more presentable. At the end, it was a good day, and love my new trail toys.
