Honestly, I think my goal falls somewhere in between. My number one goal is to finish, but I want to still put up a solid (in my opinion) time .
The http://highcascades100.com/ website says that the “event is completely within your reach is you can average 7.5 mph…” which would be about 13.5hrs. With training, I think that I could finish 'comfortably' in about 12hrs. But I'd like to push that a little and try for around 11hrs, which I think is completely doable based on friends who have completed. But that's just a guesstimate.
Thanks for the help!
