I got 1,000 once at the Bridges Half Marathon -- ended up winning my age group!

    Best: last Sunday, I had 1188

    Worst: my mountain bike race last summer... got 73, the perfect number, and smashed my bike and DNFd

    I got 870 once. Which being a gun nut was pretty cool.

    My girlfriend and I had numbers '2' and '3' once... just because I registered us right when it opened. People were commenting on it at the race thinking it was because we were really fast!!

    The Rocket City Marathon assigns numbers based on runner seeding -- the lower your number, the better your projected finish. It's kind of cool because if you beat your number, you know you had a good day. Sadly, when I ran the race, I was number 129 and finished 189th.

    I have an easy enough time putting tons of pressure on myself all on my own. I don't need any help from my frikkin bib!
