Veteran 193 Long Beach, CA | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon I'll do at least the 1/2, and maybe the full. I did the 1/2 last year in the rain. I figure I'm due a nice day, this year... |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon I will be back again this year doing the half as a tuneup for Boston I know a lot of the cool kids show up and do this race as a tuneup for Ironman California and I would guess that there would be a Saturday Bike ride again to support that effort. (I am skipping IMCal this year so probably won't be up for a ride but would still be in for Post-Expo Lunch on Saturday) As many have heard, last year was more of an open water swim than a road race and the funny thing is, after running that race, I no longer fear wind and rain on race day |

Member 14 Santa Clarita, ca | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon I'm in for the 1/2 to jump start my training for IMFrance. I did it last year (first race ever!) and agree that there needs to be some serious dancing to keep away the rain! |

Veteran 174 Columbus, GA | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Hey hey!! Yeah...I did the 5K last year in the rain as well. It was actually the first road race that I've ever raced. I sis have fun despite the freaking downpour and the crazy wind. I'd like to do the 1/2 this year if my back heals up properly and I can get in some good training. ;P |

Veteran 499 El Segundo, CA | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon My wallet HTFU'd yesterday and I signed up for the full. No more of this "maybe gonna think about considering a marathon next year" business. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon elheffe99 - 2008-10-07 4:54 PM I just signed up to do the marathon. It will be my first. I did the half two years ago. Congratulations! I am just wagging with joy. You are SO KOOL. I'm in for the wee 5K ... an itty-bitty taper-time run in my run-up to L.A. Mary two weeks later. |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Just registered for the Full . It will be my second marathon . Weather should be cooler than LAM on Memorial DAy ! Only 1000 spots for the Full so i expect it will sell out pretty fast now that LAM gave us the shaft . |

Master 1890 Cypress, CA | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Looks like the full marathon is sold out--did everybody get in who wanted to? I'm still thinking about the half--having a foot problem lately and I want to see if it resolves in the next week or so before I commit. |

Veteran 499 El Segundo, CA | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Yup- registered a few weeks back. There was a short write-up about it in the latest Runners World that got me pretty excited. How is everyone's training coming along? |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Longshot - 2008-12-08 5:20 PM Yup- registered a few weeks back. There was a short write-up about it in the latest Runners World that got me pretty excited. How is everyone's training coming along? Training going well , did 3 BT challenges to help me get out the door and took advantage of the Thanksgiving break to get my biggest week in . But with increased mileage come an increase in the rest & recovery required. Looking forward to a Memorable day .

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon I saw the race was featured in Runners World as a cheaper alternative than going to Hawaii . And lo and behold its popped up on our running club 2009 list as a points race . With the advice to book soon or else risk it selling out. |

Member 29 | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Set a new 20 mile PR yesterday. I'm supposed to do two more 20 milers before race day, but I think I'll slow down for those. I'm getting excited for this race. |

Champion 5782 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon Hmm...don't have any races planned until Ironbruin in March now that LA Mar has moved to May. Might turn up for the 5K and stick around to cheer on all you mary/half-mary finishers...driving down to HB twice (including expo/packet p/u) for--fingers crossed--less than 20 minutes of running might be a deal-breaker for that, though...wish they offered race day pickup for the 5K. |

Champion 5782 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: Surf City Half Marathon van_paulus - 2008-12-16 10:16 AM It is a Long drive for a 5k , any thoughts of signing up for the Half ?
No, I don't think so. I managed to get a hamstring pull last Monday (on a bad plant against the wall on a swim flip turn, of all things) and I need to get my bike fitness caught up to my swim and run, so my plan is to be doing more riding and not so much in the way of long runs until probably March. If the 5K doesn't sell out, I'll probably make a decision on this one late. |
