Whelp, now I wanna do a 100. After three full Ironman triathlons, my mind is looking for new novel ways to suffer. I’m totally going to do this.

You’ll get it. I’ve run two 100s and I’m running my third in a few weeks. The suffering really begins after 100K or so. It’s a long time on your feet.

If that doesn’t do it for you, let me recommend one of these options:

- The Last Annual Vol State 500K. https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=34762

- The Quintuple Anvil Triathlon. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/sports/virginia-quintuple...

You might also want to explore timed races where you run as far as you can on a loop course in 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr or 48 hr.

And if after all that you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, I can only recommend the Self-Transcendence 3100 mile race. http://www.3100.ws/
