Raced the single loop 5.4 mile course today, instead of the 2 loop course so I could ride with my dad this afternoon. Glad I did because it was muddy, hilly, rocky, humid and totally awesome!
Latched on to someone from Team RWB around mile 2 and we ended up running together the whole way and crossing the finish line together. For a misanthropic, grumpy old loner like me, it was really nice to be reminded of just how great the running community can be. I workout alone 99% of the time, so this was pretty cool.
Finished right around the middle of the pack with a chip time of 1:03ish. Pretty chuffed, I have to say.

By the way, @skippygirlsmom and @LoneWolfRunner, those are nifty medals. I love it when race directors get creative (just not TOO creative, like the genius that came up with my purple-American-Indian-shooting-an-arrow belt buckle that's 5 inches wide and creepy)0

LOL yeah that one sounds great @SBRRepeat I talked to the girl that made the medals last night and she thrilled we like them so much.

@skippygirlsmom, well done to you both, I
that medal - you must be super proud.
@emmy15rocks, welcome! you're nearly a quarter of the way there.
@remus42, well done on the PB!
As always, reading all your posts has made me feel like getting off my butt and getting out there (if not a little guilty at how lazy I've been and how far behind I am on the miles!)!0 -

Finished the Cleveland Marathon! I switched sticks with the 5:10 group, and it was pure hell. The temp was 75-80, and relative humidity of 90%. None of the folks who started with the group made it to the end with me, to include my co-pacer. The last 3mi was all highway with the the sun beating down on you, and there were a ton of people walking. I found a kid who looked like he was really struggling and talked him into running the rest of the way with me. I kept him distracted with conversation and we picked up a lady who was struggling too, and we ran every bit of the last couple miles in together. At the last 100M I told them to give it one final push and they took off. My son was in the announcer booth and VIP tent the whole morning, and when he saw me come down, he jumped out and ran to me and took my pace stick and sprinted in. It was quite the experience. And the two folks who I ran in were waiting and we did a big cheesy group hug. They were so happy, and it made my pacing experience worth it.
Onto 5K training now. My mileage is back into the mid-40s, and focusing on lots of speedwork for the next two weeks, with a controlled race effort on the 25th at the Lou Cox Memorial Day 5K.
Total: 118.5mi

Skip ran with me. She finished 1st overall female and ran about a 25:45, she forgot to stop her watch so we got that time from the guy in front of her. It wasn't timed. I did 3.15 (according to my wonderful new Garmin) in 30.01. What a great race, so much fun, wonderful people. Love the placer medals, they were hand made by one of the sponsors. It was gold, the picture doesn't do it justice, it was also on a red rawhide cord. So sorry I didn't get one!
Way to go Skip. Congratulations!!!
