It didn’t take me long to craft a plan for my 2025 racing calendar after the @wser lottery concluded without my name being drawn. I built my calendar around getting a qualifier for #WesternStates as the top priority for the year.

While I didn’t get in @wser, it was exciting to see others — some with far more tickets than me – get selected for the 100-mile race.
