  • Comments: This was my third or fourth Cherry Creek Sneak. It's a nice race to start the spring, plus a pretty quick Bolder Boulder qualifier (if you need one). Very easy to get into/out of, convenient location in Denver, nice flat course. Packet pickup was inconvenient, I think next time I'll just pick it up on raceday. Good size for a race that doesn't require qualifying. 3800 runners in the 5 mile, another 3000 in the 5k.

  • Comments: For my first "Sneak," I have to say that it's just a wonderful event. Other than some idiot yelling at his tiny young son to run faster (doing 7 min/miles at age 7 isn't fast enough?), the participants were excited, friendly, and seemingly very proud of their accomplishments at the finish. Warmer temperatures at the start would have been a bonus, but this was a great way to start a Sunday. I had no intention to enter this race, but I'm glad that I did it as a quick little speed check/confidence booster.

  • Comments: Well that is it! Another PR to end my training cycle. Next week I will attempt to go <2:50 at the Colorado Marathon in Fort Collins. This race served me well to build up my confidence. I'm ready!

  • Comments: Goody bag contained a Detour Runner Bar that I really liked. It was chocolate peanut butter flavored and had "MicroLactin" in it for joint health. Other goodies: Mahatma jasmine rice, mini Cliff bars, Cliff Shot Blocks, Team In Training brochure, notepad from Rocky Mountain Health Plans,10% off coupon at DS Additions,Coupon for a free appetizer at California Pizza Kitchen, 50% off coupon for sunglasses at Haber Vision, $10 off coupon at Sports Authority, and various other fliers all in a black Sports Authority bag. I'd rate the Goody Bag a 9 out of 10.
