  • Comments: This is one race I've run every year since getting off the couch. Weather makes it hard to compare year to year but it's a good early race to aim and train for.

  • Comments: This is my benchmark race - first HM I did 6 years ago. Placed somewhere around 550 - have slowly moved down to 300 then 100 then 50 and now 25. Will never win but might creep up a little bit further... :)

  • Comments: A bit long and a bit hilly, but a good standard "benchmark" race. Also ranks only by chip time (YAY) instead of trying to be stupid and go with gun time.

  • Comments: Good for the RD for going ahead with the race in horrible conditions. lol. Wow. Good for the volunteers. Post race grub sucked, apples, bananas, cookies, muffins. Gee. A slice of bread or some cheese would have been nice. Maybe a hot cup of coffee.

  • Comments: In 08 ran 1:55 for 583/1892 In 09 a 1:40 for 193/1833 In 10 it was a 1:35 for 110/1829 So maybe for 11 I might be knocking on that 1:30 door. I will need to start doing some better workouts though rather than just running to get the logs up.

  • Comments: Second year in a row doing this one, last year I forgot my timing chip. Felt much more prepared for this race, but had forgotten that my hip might give me issues, until it reared its ugly head. Happy with the race, although I think if my hip hadn't hurt, I could have shaved off a minute or two total. :(

  • Comments: We'll see if I try a full - I can't imagine getting to the end of this race and then turning around and doing it all over again. :) Next day: Cripes my legs hurt like hell! Must have been from the sprinting at the end since I've not been this sore after any of the 17+ long runs.
