Martian Marathon (Page 4)

Look for TriOK in a dress.  maybe.  The only thing I own that stands out like a sore thumb is the tech shirt I just picked up for doing the race. 

I will meet coop at 6:15 at his corner and will be wearing a headband that says "i love running, i hate running, i love running, i hate running"

0615: Monroe and Garrison  (The corner that Coop will be working... uh, standing at)

I haven't looked at the maps yet.  I need to be there early for packet pickup.  I'll place some calls when I figure out where I am. 

I'm FINALLY starting to get excited about this.  Its been pretty mellow for me up until now. 

The corner Kimm and I are "working" is about a block from the expo where you pick up your packet.  Parking Lot C is between Monroe and Mason - the expo is on Mason, so we'll just be on the opposite side of the block.

I'll wear a purple pimp outfit - that inappropriate enough for you J?!!

I can't remember who has my number anymore.  I'm going to be down there around 5:45 or so.  After that I'll be chillin, waitin for my homeys.  Feel free to pm me for my number.

Not sure what I'm wearing.  Likely some tights and a jacket for cold temps.  It doesn't look like it'll be getting very warm while we are out there.

I'll be there as well!  6:15 on the corner...have a good night everyone and we'll see you in the morning!

It was great to see most of you BTers out there this morning.  Nothing like seeing several friends at the turn-around!

Big thanks to jazzwith#s and yeats for cow-belling us along and snapping photos.

Extra big thanks to coop for the company for 12.9 miles 

I second that!  Thanks Jazz and Yeats for cheering  us on - that was great - I look forward to seeing the  pics.  For my first ever official race I had an awesome time.  Was great seeing you all out there and being able to meet the infamous Trixie and see the rest of you. 

And thank you Kimm for hanging with me - as always, it makes the run a lot more fun.

Hope to see you all out at Kensington soon.

I missed almost everyone.  We got there on time, but I slept in the car for a bit as I had 2 nights in a row with than 4 hours of sleep.  So I got some shut eye and woke up to car doors shutting next to my car.  Whoa 0640 and I had to visit the special blue box of bad smells house.

Sorry that I missed many of you.  Hopefully we meet soon now that the weather is getting better - you know with expected snow and all. *tsk*

Good race today!

Ditto to all the comments.

There were lots of PRs out there today! 

Sorry we couldn't meet up before the race...apparently, we thought it would be a good strategy to get there at the last possible second to frantically run to the start and have the gun go off before we were in the chute.  Quite the warmup.

But I'm glad to have seen some folks on the course and then afterwards!

Sorry I missed you Jeremy.  I just stumbled onto Eric, Kim, Matt, and Trixie about 1 minute before race time.  I was still in a daze from the night before and I've been fighting an illness since Thursday evening.  I ran and was a minute or two faster than my 1st and only 1/2 marathon last fall so I'm okay with it.  I was hoping to be under 2 hours, but could barely breathe, so maybe that'll be my goal for the next race.

Eric, Kim, Matt, Trixie it was nice to see you there.  Now I gotta try to get ready for Monday night at Ford Field.  Trixie there are tickets out there, below is an example on Craigslist...lemme know if you really want to go and I'll also check with some folks I know.  My guess though is that all of those have dried up by now.

Our group has Lower Level Seats for Mondays Championship Game in Detroit. Up to 4 seats together (you can buy 1,2,3 or 4 seats together)...some in RS 17 and some in 116.

Call NOW and we can figure out the details.

Hey all...it was really great to get a chance to meet some of you folks!  Hope that everyone had a great day out there!  I finished the full in 4' 18".  My first marathon and I loved it!  Feeling a little hit up right now but really not that bad.

My wife ended up driving out and surprising me by waiting for me at the finishline... what a sweet deal that was!  Again, it was nice to get a chance to meet and chat with you.  Hopefully we'll see every one soon.

And I hope that there's more Cody around!  He was pretty sweet!!!

Nice job to everyone out there today!   I did the half with my dad and had a blast with him!   I forgot to check this board to see if people were meeting up beforehand or else I would have found the spot!

What a difference a day makes!  So glad the race was yesterday instead of today!  Did anyone else have a problem with the bridges?  It felt like the bridge was moving when I crossed and I felt like I was going to throw up.  The rest of the race was perfect.  I got a PR and so did my daughter (she did the kids' 1.2 mile).
