Racing update

Post by Seabee »

Non-Sweptie this time :)

Here's what I've signed up for:
OoooRAH! the Army Ten Miler is only a couple of weeks away. I'll be in DC beating feet on concrete :lol:
On Valentines day; The Austin Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
Aaaaand.... the big one........ 30 May, Vermont City Marathon (26.2 miles) :pale

To keep things interesting and exciting between I'm looking at these two gnarly duathlons

Hey there John. Yep, I bid the plains farewell and moved back to the gulf coast. Via U-Haul however, and not shoeleather :D
I'm really excited about the DC race, I'll have a couple of days for seeing the sights.

Hi all, I'm back from the Army 10 Miler in D.C. It was a BLAST.

I will say though - OUTSTANDING. Not in terms of racing, but in terms of overall experience. We knew going into it that for us it would not be a "race". It's a training run on our way to marathon distance, it was about the trip, the sights, the meaning of it - it was a vacation.
We finished the run in 1h48min



So, a few pics.

The starting line - (look about 1/4 mile back there in the distance, there we are)

The starting gun. (note; there was NO trouble hearing it)

Seabee out there on the course. (%^$#*!! photogs didn't get any shots of Chele on the course) In their defense there were a LOT of people running.

I'm strong to the finish 'cause I eats me spinach :lol:

Chele at the finish showing yellow shirt guy that the peace sign doesn't make him faster :clap
