The Cozy Corner

This is not the type of weather you want / need for your next race. You don't want hot, but temps in the mid 60's would be best I would imagine.
The next one is in the south...like it ends in georgia (we don't know where it starts until the day before) ..... Mid June
I'll just be happy if it's not surface of the sun hot

But yes 60s are "fast" temps if there's no or limited rain

Georgia in mid-June has the potential to possibly be unpleasant.
 
Prepare for everything and hope for the best I suppose ... I'm assuming humidity and mountains 😂
Dude is a psychopath and enjoys torturing the runners..I think he thought last year was too easy
I suppose that is the only way to approach it. What is the typical completion percentage for the rate? I would think the dropout (did not finish) rate would be significant.

It's a self selecting group is the thing .....I'd have to look at last year but I'm guessing it's a finish rate of 60%
You only need to average around 30 miles per day to stay ahead of the cutoff .... And for this race they wait-list everyone then kind of look over everyone before moving you into the race.

I mean only a certain kind of person even signs up for a race that's 400 ish miles with a route you don't know ahead of time put on by a notorious race designer/director (famous within ultra running circles: Lazarus Lake)

That is something I neglected to consider that the entrant field would already be narrowed down.

Still 60% is pretty good for a race of that length and unknown course / terrain.
