What a bummer for all those folks that trained hard and spent so much time and money. Some people are concerned about the environment, which first looked at looks like a bad thing, but in my opionion , is the natural order of things. These fires destroy many acres of forests, but with that brings new growth that in turn brings about more wildlife into those areas.
With the 2008 entrants getting auto-entry into 2009 WS100, that makes my chances of getting in slim to none as Henry Lyda (my Dad) would say. I still will enter, because if you don't try, then there is no chance at all.
Having said all that, I will probably look at another 100 miler in the same time frame. Perhaps Big Horn 100 or Kettle Moraine. Preparing for those with either Rocky Raccoon in February or Umstead in April. More to follow.
A little disappointed about 2009 WS100, but no matter how bad you think it is for you, there are people who have it a lot worse. i.e. 2008 entrants.
