Julie Fingar, Race Director for the Way Too Cool 50k (WTC), announced a new course for 2011 that makes use of more of the great single track trails in the area and removes the potential for collisions by re-routing the 2-way section. The WTC Web site is now updated, including a great video walk-through.



I really like the layout of the new course. Lots more single track, a longer stretch along the river, no more Ball Bearing climb from hell, and a chance to go flat out the whole way. I know it's tough to change a course that has been around for decades (Julie crossed that road when making it an actual 50k two years back as the new RD), but serious kudos to Julie and her team for kicking this great course up a notch. Well done!

The lottery for WTC opens today on UltraSignUp, so be sure to put your name in before the 12th (drawing on the 15th).

I will have to skip the fun this year, since baby #2 is due on the same day. To Christi's credit, one of her first comments when finding out the due date was "well, so much for Cool". Gotta love a spouse who has the ultra calendar memorized. :-)
