Hi Chris, just wanted to check in if you won the lottery on the Eiger? Any plans on shifting your current training regimen to incorporate more running/hills?
I'm also signed up for the E101 but I'm currently based in Asia so will play it by ear (entered the lottery just in case as I've wanted to do this one for a while)
I didn't get in via the lottery so I got in via their summit package (https://eiger.utmb.world/discover/the-event/summit-package). Looking forward to it. Going with a bunch of friends. You 100% should come. <1% chance you'll regret it. Swiss efficiency will make it an easy travel day to/from the race. Do it. I met with a trainer yesterday morning to discuss my goals and strategies for balancing jiu jitsu, ultras, CrossFit, and other goals. Complicating matters is the fact that thematically I want to gain weight, get stronger, and build muscle while stacking up my 2023 calendar with ice climbing, races, etc. Hopefully I can make it all work. But I actually want to run/hills less. Will see.
