Training for 2012 Everest Challenge — Double Centuries
Here’s my very tentative schedule for double century events as part of my training for the Everest Challenge. It might be too much of a load when combined with a training schedules, but I’ve tried to space them out by about a month or so.
After Alta Alpina, I figure training gets more specific, so I have no plans to do any major events before EC and after Alta Alpina.
Double centuries
See also the list of California double century events along with the California Triple Crown (3 double centuries in a year).
- Death Valley Spring Double, 9000' — March 3, 2012. Already sold out.
- Hell’s Gate 100 — March 31, 2012. A long drive for me (1000 miles round trip).

- Davis Double, 8400' — May 19, 2012. Annoying email list for signup, not open yet apparently.
