Nope, cause when you WIN the race, you do not also place in your AG. Sorry, that is the breaks.

My son's Uni has a confirmed case and ceased all on-site teaching. He works at a cocktail bar and they are going with a slightly different approach - "Lockdown Party!" They are going to have a bash on Saturday, hundreds of people all in one space before the bar will close until further notice. So basically come and see if you can get Covid-19 and then all go home to your families - genuis 😕
My May event is already postponed. I definitely need a run tonight!!

I am TOTALLY going to win my AG in my virtual race tomorrow. @polskagirl01 How old were you again? No matter, we'll just make up our own age groups... I'm sure we weren't born on the same day even if we do happen to be the same age lolol.

[sarcasm font] Wow, that lockdown party sounds brilliant... I mean, how many people does someone have contact with over a 2-week period at a university before showing symptoms? [/sarcasm font]
May events here have also canceled. Perhaps because they'd have to start the planning soon, and don't want to start spending money on something only to have to cancel later.0 -
@Duck_Puddle - loved your 'non-traditional' race report and took a look at the Insta pictures. Absolutely beautiful and much as I remember from driving the 128 with my geologist dad explaining all the rock formations and layers to us. I do not remember the bike path, likely it is a newer addition.
@kgirlhart - before I actually purchased a thundershirt I made a makeshift one by wrapping an ace bandage around him from underneath his front legs to his belly like shown here https://www.k9ofmine.com/diy-thundershirt/ The shirt is easier and takes less time to put on so generally more convenient.
i tried a thundershirt and a diy...speed demon ate them in her anxiety. so didn't work so well for us
my april race is postponed.
my may half marathon race so far is still on but i feel like it will probably get cancelled.
i'm hoping my ultra at the end of may doesn't get cancelled but in reality it probably will be6 -

Lol yes... here in Spain, at the ripe old age of 42 I'm dubbed a 'Veteran B'!5 -
My April races said they were looking to reschedule in May. I don't see that happening. They always offer a virtual option so if all else fails we will do it that way.
The number of people, businesses and government not taking this seriously enough is astounding. The reports of cases here they aren't giving any information. It's basically age and maybe some info about where they have been. A spring training employee was diagnosed yesterday and all they did was warn people that were at the park. Um, they are a local employee at the park closest to me. Where else have they been? Do they shop at my grocery store? Did they go to a restaurant or gym? The public needs to know as much of their movements to determine if they had contact with this person, even in passing.4 -

Cloudy, foggy, and mid 40s F this morning. Chose lightweight running gear instead of heavyweight running gear.
Felt good physically, and toyed with the idea of a longer run until I remembered how bad I felt during yesterday's run. We had quite a bit of rain last night, and there were a lot of worms on the trail. So I invented a race: The Earthworm 7k. I beat them all!!! I think it was the new socks I picked up when I got my shoes last week.
Seriously, I ran well enough that I need to remember tomorrow is a rest day. Period.
Although there has been no official announcement yet, I'm pretty sure my April race will be cancelled, and probably my May race as well. Just have to be patient and see what the future brings.

My race in May (Pittsburgh Marathon) has already been canceled.
I think you can pretty much write off anything in May. I do not see us on the other side of this till July, at best, IF people take it seriously. The fewer people that do so the longer this will take. Sorry.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the fewer people take it seriously, the quicker the infections spread and the curve doesn't get as flat, and the QUICKER we get over it. But in a bad way, with extra deaths that could have been prevented if we only had some free hospital beds.
But I agree that May doesn't look like a good month to plan a race.

Ran in the rain today. I usually avoid that, but the fitness room in my building is closed and I didn't want to skip the run. It wasn't that bad, so the silver lining may be me pushing myself to run outside even when it's raining.

@shanaber I tried the ace bandage wrap last night and it really seemed to work. There was at least 1 tornado less than 30 miles away, and lots of thunderstorms overnight and Pup didn't cry and wake us up like she did the night before. The rain should be moving out of the area for a while, but I think I will look into finding an actual thundershirt for her.10

I got in my long run today since it is supposed to rain the rest of the week and into the weekend. I did a double lap from my house the park I usually use around the park and back. The streets were empty for the most part, maybe 10 total driving past me. The park was also empty for the first lap then it began to fill up on the second one. I was glad I was done and out of there by then. An ambulance passed me when I was about a mile away from home and the driver gave me the weirdest look LOL. I must have look really rough by that point.
Let's share some things we are thankful for in this insanity.
I am thankful that I work for a company that is sending everyone home to work as fast as they can. (I already work remotely at least 3 days a week so nothing new for me.)
I am thankful my family is still healthy and not stir crazy... yet.
I am thankful I can still go outside and run and stay away from people.
I am thankful I have enough food incase they close grocery stores to last for 2 or 3 weeks, even with a 16 yr old boy. Toilet paper may be an issue after week 2.
What are you thankful for?7 -

Thanks.
Truth be told, even though they were young, they weren't very fast.
But a win is a win, right?5 -

How do you know they were young? Did you ask for ideas? Maybe they were elderly.3 -
