SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 344)

Havin'Fun - 2009-11-14 5:18 PM

So, now IM is done I am looking at 2010.  It hurts to not be heading to TX in April, but what can I say....can't really bag my sister's wedding for a race.  Can I??? 

Anyone have any cool/fun races scheduled in 2010?  My preference is longer races opposed to sprints.

I'm planning on an 8k/Marathon weekend in March, but everything else is open.  Looking hard at Augusta.

Who is looking at Augusta?  I think Doug is in...anyone else?  John, Andy, Barry, Chris, Tracy, ANYONE???

Maybe SWBKRUN kicks off 2010 with Lonestar and closes with Augusta?  just a thought

dalessit - 2009-11-14 10:56 AM Had a blast running the 8k this morning.  Ran it in 49:59.  Quite a few big climbs, lots of rocks, roots, leaves etc, and 2 stream crossings.  Course was sloppy and muddy due to all the rain we have had in the last few days.

Would have been a bit faster but ran it with my neighbor and his knee got sore at one point so I slowed down to keep with him for a bit then he just told me to go ahead so I took off.

Never done a trail run before, think I will look for more.

fattyfatfat - 2009-11-14 3:24 PM Glad you had fun Tony.  I'm thinking about one in December... never done one before either. 

Go Team Tri Life!  Is this the right one Trevor?  Pretty cool.  And she's mother of two so she probably understands life and training.

tahrens - 2009-11-15 4:36 PM Linda, check out the FSSeries. (fsseries.com). They have a open water swim series that I am probably going to do. I believe it is 3 one mile swims and one 2 miler. I am planning on White Lake Half with the hubby, Savage of course, possibly Pinehurst, I should do a marathon some where in there, and hopefully Augusta - as long as it doesn't interfere with my trip to Canada.But this is my main event for 2009. Any ladies interested? It is a Carmichael Training System camp in the mountains of Asheville NC - women only. 3 days of fully supported training rides, support vehicles, instructors, lessons, the whole nine yards. http://www.trainright.com/camps.asp?uid=4445

1. are those BT shirt you cute family has on? How did you get them? The shirts not the family.

Havin'Fun - 2009-11-15 4:46 PM

Sorry never answered this....A BT'er had the shirts designed and we just placed our order through him.
I think they do that for most of the IM's.  One note...I AM NOT a fan of orange, but orange never looked so good out on the course.  It really stood out so we never missed any BT support.  If I ever design a shirt I will go with a color that is different and will stand out....just a thought for you Lonestar folks (yes, I am envious.  I want a SWBKRUN mg shirt). 

fattyfatfat - 2009-11-15 5:23 PM savageman and augusta!?!   sounds like a fun filled week.

swbkrun - 2009-11-15 8:33 PM Linda for a getaway race (I know a little far to travel!), CHECK OUT http://racecenter.com/pacificcrest/

It is a super cool area, and a REALLY well put on race!  I am thinking of doing this 1/2 next year as opposed to Boise.  It is a really sweet, beautiful course!

I have a lot to catch up on here....
