It came down to choosing between the C&O Canal 100 or Yeti. Both have pros and cons, but Yeti's hugest advantage is the simple fact that it is Sep 30, 2016, 39 weeks into the year, while C&O is Apr 30, 2016, 17 weeks into the year. Given that I'm really going to start training the first full week of Jan, there is no way I would be able to prepare for C&O with 17 week to do it.
I'll follow up with the training plan I put together. For now, a collection of websites so I don't have to search all over to find them again.
