Earlier I linked this video and cannot say enough good things about it. It deals with everything ultra running. Anxiety, highs, lows, everything. It should pump you up. Ive watched it three times in as many weeks.

My best advice I can give you from a preparation standpoint for the race. Obviously, run a lot. But more importantly don't underestimate the mental game. You will feel the highest of highs, and lows that will make you question life. And unlike running a marathon were the mental "wall" may be a few miles, in 100 milers, that "wall" low can last for hours.

I would also recommend you practice at least once, running through the night. To get used to the solitude. I wish you the best of luck. Check in on this thread and let us know how its going
