    White Rock Classic 50K

    Goal: To finish, get in a long run


    Elevation profile:



    It should be kind of tough.

      Super 5k, Lowell MA

       

      Goal is always a PR, my history with this race says I come up way short.  Even if I don't race well, I get to see a bunch of my Lowell running buds for the first time in ages.  Kinda like pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, it's always a good sign.

       

      MTA:  Some nice goals for the middle of the damned winter, good luck to all.

      May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

         

        A) I'm paying for the race and assume that cost is figured in.

        B) It's beer.

         Just messin wit ya. Seems to be the motif these days. That and I'm green with envy since we won't have beer at our race on Sunday. Fucking blue laws.

        Right on Hereford...

           we won't have beer at our race on Sunday. Fucking blue laws.

           

          I thought blue laws only prevented you from buying alcohol, not drinking it. What kind of flippin' blue laws you got in your state?

            Well in Jersey it's county-by-county.  The county 40 minutes from Tater's race (mine) has blue laws. 

            If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be.  I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila

              I think the question is why can't the beer be bought before the race. 

              mr train you are a pain, your words - they make me go insane

              they strike my ever-thinking brain like little drops of acid rain

              oh, to my life you are a bane; crazy, mixed up, mr train - r2e

                It's strange.  Maybe the distribution of the alcohol in connection with the race fee is interpreted in Indiana to be a sale?

                 

                was making a side point about N.J.

                  Yes.  And this isn't a bar that has a liquor license.  It's a park that is rented out and you have a permit to serve beer (I think).

                   

                  MTA:  Technically they aren't selling the beers, Nader.

                  There is a long dark road ahead of me.

                    Not sure of the exact wording but something about an organized event serving alcohol on Sunday + its on the grounds of a HS + there will be teens running. Damn excise guys would have a field day. Its Indiana. We always drove the five miles to Michigan on Sundays to go to bars when in college. Loved living close to the border but its a dumb set of laws.

                     

                    BYOB is cool and this will be arranged but its not as sweet as provided post run by the organizers (see any Monkey marathon report for further details)

                     

                    Glad we are back on solid subjects - racing and beer. Now all we need is boobs and all things will be right.

                      I thought I had the toughy this weekend but as usual Trent eclipses me and my IT skills anyway as the link won't work I'm doing a 13.5 mile fell race

                      Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.

                        I'll be at the same race as the L Train playing the part as the unhinged caboose. A sub 1:17 would be nice.

                          50k trail race

                           

                          Louisville, KY, Saturday

                           

                          Goal: First ultra and first trail race for me, in snow and mud no less, so a time goal seems prickly.  How about...Sub-10 face plants.

                          “I used to be a runner. Uh-huh. Not a marathoner. A runner. Marathons are bullshit. They’re all hype.

No. There’s some things it’s better to do all by yourself.” Augustus Hill, Oz

                            Trent, I was thinking about the first time you did K2K2K and you shoved a reeses cup in your mouth and told me my hair looked nice. When I think of this I try to talk myself into thinking maybe ultras aren't so bad. Because I freaking love reese cups. Have fun.

                            Taters, suck it up and run in the snow. Kick that dudes ass.

                             

                            You too L Train.

                             

                            All of that being said, I expect this kind of behavior from these idiots... racing in the middle of the gddmn winter.... but not from the rest of you.

                             

                            Good luck anyway.

                             

                            I'm gonna drink beer and watch football.

                              Terrific climbs! Don't get "stuck" at in the turn-around point.

                                 Wow, that's like mountains.

                                 

                                And what a coincidence how similar the peaks on the second half are, to the first half.

                                It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
