sometime people sell them on craigslist.. check there..

Who's excited!?  I'm just ready to get it over with, at this point. 

come on bro.. this is your first right?!!! should be a little more excited... remember there's a guy handing out beer at mile 3 or so.. (atleast last year he was there almost certain he will be there again..) very popular....

So I have not trained for this race so I am  going to join the 2:15 pace group. Anyone going to be in that group?

I'm planning to join the 2:15 group!

I'm looking for the 2:15 group for the first few miles as well.... I'll see how I feel after that    This was a tough training year for sure!

I'm going to try to stay up with the 2:00 pacer.  If I fall back to the 2:15 I'll be okay with that too.  I just want to finish without walking. 

hope everyone did well today - the weather was awesome

It was fun, but man, they needed more porta potties at the start.   The lines were brutal and I never was able to get through the crowd to the 2:15 pacer, so I hung with the 2:30 group.  I thought maybe it would thin out a bit and I could push it to catch up to the 2:15's, but I never did.  The 2:30 group was fun so I stayed there.  I just wanted to beat 2:30, I did, so I'm good with that.

Beautiful day for the run! this is probably one of the nicest Shamrocks I have run weather wise.  Ran well enough for a training run. Just never felt ready for the race but even with the calf cramping up at 8 it came out ok, not my best by far but overcoming the mental part and keeping the calf from really going wonkey I consider this a good finish.  Focusing on the Swamp Stomp 1/2 in 4 weeks to lay down a much better time. 

Great job to everyone who ran! 

I also wanted to run the half but it was sold out so early so I ran the full.  Although I hit my wall just before the climb on shore drive, and started cramping because of the heat I had a blast and finished with a smile on my face despite not breaking my goal of 4 hours!
