What's next?

I've got a couple of big races in the pipe line currently

Tarawera 100 mile - February 2024

I originally booked this race for 2020 I think and ended up deferring due to Covid.  I'm not 100% sure I can make it out there next year but will decide later in the year.

I'll also be doing a few shorter races as B races/long training runs and I'll be applying for Western States but not holding my breath as i only have 1 ticket at present!
