Master  2770     Central Kansas |  Subject: RE: Novemburr Run ChallengeAdded 9.3 this morning -- ran a 15k race. First in my age group, but there were only two of us. Still, I beat her by 17 minutes. :-) Talking about small races -- I'm pretty sure there were less than 30 of us in four distances: 10k, 15k, 25k, 50k. As I signed up this morning, I debated with myself about whether to run the 15k as planned or go ahead and try the 25k. I decided to stick with my plan. I figured it was better to finish the 15k feeling like I should have signed up for the 25k than sign up for the 25k and feel like I should have signed up for the 15k. Even though I walked a lot of the steepest hills (there was only one "flat" stretch of about 200 yards; otherwise, the whole thing was either up or down), at the end, I kind of wished I tried for the 25k, so I think I chose wisely. This was my first "trail" run, and although we weren't really on trails (rural farm roads), the running surfaces were varied -- mud, gravel, sand, limestone, rocks. No water crossings. And up and down and up and down. Did I mention it was extremely hilly? ;-) Yep. In Kansas. |

Oh stop it - everyone has seen Wizard of Oz and knows that KS doesn't have any hills seriously - nice job! |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: Novemburr Run Challenge peto_primo - 2011-11-12 1:37 PM Completed "Stone House (2x) Triple-Cross trail 8.5M " this morning - beat my goal by 30 secs !!! The triple-cross part came from 3 stream crossings we had to do (twice since they were in the out and back portion of the race. Water was cold - feet were numb for a bit after each crossing. Overall a fun race though. Kind of 'sad' - in a small (98 racers) 8.5 mile race I was 20 minutes behind the winner Brr - cold wet feet - if I am going to do that type of stuff then I better get some Goretex shoes and some gaiters.... Great job on the race! While you might have been 20 minutes behind the winner, you were way ahead of everyone who didn't bother to show up! |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: Novemburr Run Challenge First 10k done in 1:00:44 ... Was looking to average 10:00 mile - actually hit 9:41. Beat my goal time of 1:03 by 2 minutes, but missed my super-secret goal of breaking 1 hour. Great course by the lake, lots of wind today - 15-20mph - I wonder if wind affects running like biking... hmm.... |

Expert 1145 Ann Arbor, MI | Subject: RE: Novemburr Run Challenge Congrats on great races everyone! I'm stoked about setting a three minute, half-marathon PR today on a perfect day in Michigan with a 1:21. I think the big running mileage is paying off. |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: Novemburr Run Challenge I'm on an unscheduled rest day today. My 2.5 year old little boy has been puking all morning. He's asleep right now so I think we are through the worst of it. Being a mommy is the best job in the world even during the bad times. Be sure to put in a couple extra miles for me. |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: Novemburr Run Challenge Ran with the dogs this morning for 4 miles . Dont forget to post your miles. time or sessions and add 50% extra mileage for races you competed in. So for example an 8 mile race is worth 12 miles towards your goal Lynne , rest up get better and hopefully we will see in a challenge again very soon . |
