My totals are updated. The run today put me over 100% so that's all I can contribute to our monthly overall.

Keep it up Pumpkins, one more week!

Baowolf - 2009-10-24 6:00 PM Long weekend so far.  I drove down lastnight and camped for $10, last of the big spenders.  As the race was about to start everyone lined up and it occured to me that for this race I should line up at the FOP istead of the MOP... ops and the gun went off.  

I got up near the front and just stayed there the entire race was cool.  At about mile 5 I got about a tablespoon of sand and small rocks in my left shoe at a thigh deep river crossing and well that is where they stayed for the next 13.6 miles.  Oh m gosh the hills.  I could have really done without that last 1300 foot climb at mile 15.  Mr. Garmin says I had close to 8000 feet of climbing in the 30k (18.6 miles or whatever).  

I turns out I got 2nd place in age group and third place overall with a 20 minute PR over last year.  Yay!  Too bad the only guy in front of me in my age group won the entire race.  Oh well huge improvement of like 1:07 per mile pace or some such.  It also puts me at 108.5/110 miles per the month, so no problem finishing that off next week.  Sooo odd to actually podium something.  I went out hard and just held it, well until that last hill, I ended up using a run walk alternation climbing that beast it was sooo steap, 1300 feet climbing in like 1 mile or so.  

Anyway keep on running pumkins.  I'll get a more offical RR up once they post the offical times.  

Tod use a marathon stick on those shins, ice daily and go lite on the run for a few days, at minimum low intensity and low distance.  They should clear up in 1-2 weeks with some lite running.    

losta - 2009-10-26 3:14 PM Another run today on the treadmill, much easier on the bad knee. I think that gives me 100% but I'll get at least one or two more in. Too bad you can't count 110% like on other challenges. Dee is a tough cookie.

Could you bump up your goal??

Another short and painful 1.55 after the Du yesterday legs are still a lil sore.

losta - 2009-10-26 5:59 PM

If I raise my goal it won't affect the challenge. It is really a way to challenge yourself but I guess some people aren't too good at estimating their time/effort/abilities so we have a few that are dragging us down.

Er um... there are punishments.. I didn't read the fine print, what happens if we don't win?

losta - 2009-10-26 4:11 PM The winning team will come pee in your pool.

I don't think he has a pool.  I think it is a swimspa.  But the winning team might still come pee in it. 

And I don't have an avatar because I don't know how to put one there.  I also don't have one because I don't particularly want one, which is why I never learned how to put one there.  So, folks, can we please all get to 100% (and yes, I know I am slightly behind as well), so that I don't have to learn how to have an avatar?  Horrors.  What if I had a picture of me running?  People would leave BT in droves.
