You do have to write an essay each time you apply.and the content of that essay is up to you. Ed Furtaw wrote a book about the race that covers all 25 years of it ('Tales form Out There' on Amazon). Once I tasted that feeling of doing something extraordinary, I vowed never to go back to that old lifestyle. For several years I just kind of didn't do much.

I think there's also the component that I don't want to fall back into the 'mundane'.

It's like all those times when you doubted yourself, and all those times people told you that you couldn't do something.when you're standing there at the finish of a thru-hike or an ultra.you know in your heart that you CAN do something extraordinary if you truly believe. That feeling of complete accomplishment that can't be described. I guess it's partly to test myself, partly to be with an incredible group of people, partly to experience as much of the outdoors as I can, and I guess partly to take as much of that elusive feeling that I can.that feeling I got when I touched that fifth gate.
