2000 miles of spasmotic signing

December 10 - 16 racing thread! (Read 680 times)

    Tough.  Persistant rain will not have helped.....

      Thanks all, but this is kind of a rough one. 131 wasn't just a random goal. It was what I would have needed to make the National Team. There are still a bunch of 24's on New Year's Day where I could have been bumped from the sixth spot, but yeah. I wish I hit that 131.

       

      Well damn. Any chance you could still make it, or was 131 an absolute requirement?

        120 is the qualifying standard for women. A few women are in from being automatic qualifiers (Nat and World championships), the rest get in on mileage. I needed to pass 130.92. It is ok, though. I raced against the woman that broke the American record this year (149.368). Not being negative, but I don't look at her and feel like I belong in her company. Besides, I still have time. Ultrarunning is a great sport for old broads.

          I know Ilene would have a hard time doing this, but I think she should award herself the SFEB.

                Reverting to the ever popular PotatoHead rule book, I have determined that this weeks surprising winner of the imaginary fucking cartoon eightball is none other that the distinguished physician; Trent!    Congratulations Monkey Man!  Great job making your goal on a bum leg!   Eight ball

                  You hit your goal and won your age group. The only other person to hit their goal is Trent, and I'm pretty sure nobody likes him because of what he did to everyone's quads last month.

                      I still have not forgiven him for April. But you're kidding yourself, WG, if you think there's the remotest doubt who gets the IFCEB this week.

                            Fail. 128 and a little extra that they have to measure ( approx 100 meters). Through 100 miles in 17:32:00. I had a really bad stretch from approx 105-115.

                             

                            Even in "Fail" you are spectacular.  

                             

                            I love telling stories about my running friends.  Things like "miles 105-115 were a bad stretch" are fun to share.

                            The tangents are moot.

                            Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

                              you know when paul ryan said he ran a marathon "under three" and we were all, what an idiot!

                               

                              and, you know how, at marathons, all those people are running for fun, and just to finish, and get a medal, and we are all like, what idiots!

                               

                              and, you know how our coworkers will say they're running a "5K marathon" and again, we are all thinking - IDIOT.

                               

                              that's how i imagine those of us who don't run ultras must sound to ultra runners.

                               

                              do you really think WG doesn't know that she ran a really long way?

                               

                              c'mon. she missed a very important goal, you fuckers.

                               

                              HAVE SOME RESPECT.
