On asphalt. Hillier than the Monkey. Maybe even hillier than Flying Pig. (Read 1160 times)

I don't know how I missed this one.  I was on my honeymoon when this thread started (which took me along the Blue Ridge Parkway)  I am already signed up for another half that weekend and just heard about this race today.  It's only a 10 hour drive, maybe I could do both (or maybe I should save my money for other ventures)  If I did run it, I would have to do the marathon though, since that looks to be the more challenging course.  I don't think the 10 hour drive back would make for a good half marathon trail run the next day.  I hope they have this one next year too. 

If you want hilly, check this out. Mostly up, though.

The top male and top female finisher will receive a $5000 Tag Heuer watch courtesy of Fink’s Jewelers.

 

 

Instant turn off ... instantly tells me they are not my kind of people.

 

Yeah but you could pay the tax and sell the watch. 

A long time ago I was at the House of Guitars.  I entered a drawing for a guitar that I had absolutely no interest in owning (even though I do play guitar).  I said when I entered something like "If I win I'll turn around and sell it right back to them."

I won the drawing.  I kept the guitar for years and never played it.  I finally did sell it.
