200 Race Wins Goal Announcment Sitting at 193 Currently

200 win goal announcement, I want to fade away some and start to enjoy running and racing again after its completion. Currently sitting at 193 top 1st overall wins. This is out of the 500 races including road, trail, ocr, and multisport events.

I've been slowly letting the cat out the bag to people important to me but now I can officially announce the goal I have.

Never thought id even win a race back in 2015 when I really started racing. Never intended to go after it or even had the thought of it being remotely possible till the beginning of last year. I figured then it take me 5 or 6 years to get it but I got really lucky last year winning 46 total races putting me at 180 total when the year came to a close. I've won 13 this year so far I need 7 more to achieve the goal. Once it happens I plan to race less. I have other life goals and things I want to do.

I actually don't currently, honestly enjoy racing, the prep work, or even the feeling of having won anymore whereas I used it. It feels like a job and it's huge stressor. The mental state I put myself in to get ready before a race kills me.

Stating my goal will have some people support me, others hate me, and some come after me. So be it. I know who is in those 3 groups already. Even the fakers who pretend to be on with me.

I'm not gonna pick and choose podunct type races just to get it. I'm gonna choose ones I normally would and try find some new ones to explore as I normally would on this goal journey.

The video explains it more and goes into more details. Plain and simple I race to much, I spend to much time traveling to races, to much time staying in shape, when there is other things I want to do. Also there are bigger races out of area I want to do that I can't if I keep races 60+ races a year just to get what I call a race fix sort of like a junky looks for after coming down from a high, which doesn't even happen anymore. Probably why I enjoy races I never did more so then repeats because it's a new experience.
I will miss seeing everyone as much. But its somethig I want and need to do.

I know there are tons of runners out there way better then me. I know that, I actually consider myself more lucky then good when it comes to running. Only thing that helps me anymore is my experience over what others have. I've just been blessed to be so lucky rather then good.

What I've been able to do since really starting to run in 2015 is amazing though. It's been a fun ride so far. Though my path has changed many times, it's not nearly at a total end. It may be short though if my predicted death in the next 2-3 years comes true.
