Change of plans

So I'm not going to run the 50 mile in Colorado... I'm going to China instead! The International Olympic Committee puts together workshops as a part of an existing sport science conference for its sports nutrition post graduate students (Im currently enrolled in that program). These workshops happen once a year and we don't have to attend then to complete our studies, but they are an awesome opportunity to learn more about sports nutrition and attend sport science conferences around the world. This year, they have decided to run the workshops as a part of the pre Olympic congress in Guangzhou, China during the first week of August.

The only problem is that I can't go to China and race an ultra marathon in Colorado a month later with Ironman Canada in the middle... it might be too overwhelming for me right now. I think going to China is a fantastic opportunity, that doesn't come very often. So I am looking for another ultra to run a bit later in the year, or even early next year. Any suggestions?!

Hi,

I am writing to let you know about a campaign that is sure to SPARQ your reader’s interest.

Nike SPARQ Training has just launched their “Show Us Your Better” video contest campaign. The campaign asks entrants to submit an original video demonstrating why their better is better.

The grand prize winner and the most viral winner, selected from the top 100 in each category, will receive an Ultimate Nike SPARQ Training Pack with all the gear necessary to take the game to the next level. In addition, Nike will select three winners chosen from the top 100 entries with the highest scores, to receive a signed football by All-Pro LaDainian Tomlinson.
