Cactus Rose 100

I've been talking about it for a couple years now, so just like when I registered for the Ironman, I just decided "its time to stop talking and do it."  So today I registered for the Cactus Rose 100 in Bandera, Texas on Oct 29th.  From all accounts, its a brutal course with virtually no flats and technical footing.  Go hard or go home, right?
