  • Comments: Racing is always fun and its even better with friends. I can't remember when I saw my Rabbit ( Derrick). I stalked him for several miles but then suddenly while going down hill I had the urge to try to pass him. The rabbit then not seem to want to catch me. Then mile 9 the big ass hill was upon us. VVrrrooom the rabbit gets a burst of energy and passes me up. I had nothing in the tank, luckily Kelly continued to push me. I felt bad for her since she could have ran a faster race. I wanted her to go on her own but did not have the energy to speak. I had some tightening on my lower right claf area but no cramp. Also there was a point were I wanted to vomit but did not. I am not sure if it was from endorlytes or the dirty fuel bottles. I have been trying to buy replacement bottle caps but cannot find any. Anyway I beat my time from last year by 3 min. Thank you Kelly

  • Comments: It's the first running race I've ever done, so I have to rate it a "5". Would do again next year if I can make it in again (registration fills up really fast).

  • Comments: Got my Corall C slot for Chicago! A month early! Great race, very challenging course with Hills that never stop. There are some nasty grades out in Cary. My time is watch time. I think the offical time will be 10 secs or so slower - no chip timing.

  • Comments: This is a well run, local race. This was the 30th anniversary year for the race, so they have it down to a science. The course is great, lots of volunteers and police out to control traffic. The hills can be intimidating, but there's nothing unmanageable about them. For the first year, I wasn't dreading the hills. This race is a permanent fixture on my schedule.
