Personal running SLOW records

I did a half marathon in 3:25:19.

Of course I was dressed like Willy Wonka and slightly intoxicated.

HIM run time of 3:12.  Legs cramped on biked but I kept going.  Had to walk probably 11 miles total on the run.

pinktrigal - 2007-10-06 4:55 PM LOL, thinking about the Willy Wonka getup combined with the "Aggressive position" post. Wonder what that would like???????

AH HA HA HA HA ... omg you beat me to it ... 'cause I read Derek's post, then posted in the Agg Pos thread, and believe it or not I was thinking the SAME THING! (Especially ironic since he has such a cool bike shot as an avatar ...)

I would pay good money to see that.

Wasn't that when we were trying to pass the lady in black and the cane guy? I remember being pissed they were beating us. We just couldn't figure out why...

The above was my 1/2 marathon slow pr. This is my marathon slow pr: 6h 48min. Slightly injured and sore from the 1/2 the day before: 

Yes, this was during the race and not after:

Well, speaking of creepy costumes and creeping along ... yes, she is--her name is Rosie (Chilean rose hair, original I know), she is not a very good running partner, but she is delightful and furry and cuddly just the same. She can book when she wants to, though ... she's made it across a 5m floor in several seconds. However, I don't think there's a limit to her slow record ... sometimes she sits in the same spot for weeks.

What kinds of creeping-along things have you got?

HyVee Triathlon June 2007.

It was a rough race for me, I'm not what you would call a runner anyway - but I had actually gotten to the point that I could pretty comfortably run 6 miles when I pulled my hamstrings - yes both legs - did it on a bike ride about 6 weeks b4 the race. 

Then, the morning of the race, put my foot down on the floor to feel quite a bit of pain in my right heel - little did I know that pain was the beginning of a very long battle with PF.

Anyway, between my hammy's still being iffy, and my heel - well, I wasn't a speed demon - lol

I actually had a super fun time though and met a really nice gal from Des Moines - she had gotten kicked really hard during the swim and was having as much trouble as I was running.  We ended up going the whole way together, alternating running and walking (i call this ralking - lol)

We even went across the finish line together, which was pretty cool.

One hour and 3 minutes for a 5K!  My slowest 5k ever, by far, but it was the most rewarding crossing the finish line with my mom.  There are races when it really is not about the clock and setting PRs.  Here's my RR if you are interested.
