Comments: The goal was to get Sue (and me) to the finish in 2:30 with as much fun as possible. Mission accomplished!! Rick, Jess, Shaun and I serenaded Sue and the rest of the runners with the entire soundtrack of Grease, and other obnoxious songs. We even took requests for Jimmy Buffet. We saw Christine somewhere around mile 6ish I think with some heavenly Diet Coke. THANKS CHRISTINE!! Towards mile 7, it was down to Shaun, Sue and I. Shaun and I kicked up Baby Got Back intervention. It was quite impressive, if I do say so myself!! Saw Jeff (Q) at some point around mile 9ish and whooooooop whooooooped him on his marathon PR!! CONGRATS JEFF!! Wore my brand spankin' new Asics Kinsei, with absolutely NO blisters or issues. A little sheering on my right foot, but pain was gone by evening. WOO FREAKING HOO!! A race without blisters?? Unheard of!! And with virgin shoes! I took them outta the box that morning!! What would you do differently?: Absolutely nothing!! It was an awesome day!!  Post race
Warm down: It took exactly 15 seconds for me to go from warm to freezing my a$$ off. The wind picked up and I was so cold I was blue and shivering. Congratulated Betsy on an awesome PR, hugs all around and went to get some warm, dry clothes on!! Last updated: 2006-12-01 12:00 AM

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: Bank of America Gasparilla Distance Classic Half-Marathon I really just don't know how pushing over that row of portapotties didn't make your race report. But whatever. Congrats on the PR and blister-free peformance, and as always, it was loads of fun. |

Walked to the convention center to meet up with the BT gang. Tried to avoid going out in the cold and wind!
