Feeling the growl again

    spaniel -- 8/9 -- some midnight 5K, Columbus, IN -- 16:40

     

    No, I am not sandbagging, that's a legit goal right now.

     

    DNS.  Was supposed to run this with a former teammate, who apparently convinced his brother to race.  Said brother decided he is too fat to run a 5K, so now we are all going to sit around and drink beer instead.

      Alternate plan - beer mile with teammate and brother.

        I won again Smile so did Ben, so it was another sweep by the Schneiders. I ran 3:10:12....3 mins faster than last year. He ran 2:34:50 It was a perfect weather day. That's my second fastest marathon...which is very encouraging considering it's crazy hilly and my training has been crappy lately. I should start training now...

                        8/25 - 15K Dino Trail Run Series - Southwestway Park Indianapolis, IN - 1:45:00

                         

                        This course kicked my ass last year. The course has been changed this year so it's only twice up Mann Hill instead of three times. I'm hoping my goal is soft.

                          Baxter MN

                           

                          Swim = 0.5 mile

                          Bike = 17.0 miles

                          Run = 3.9 miles

                           

                          Goal:

                          A) Sub 1:35:00

                          B) Top 25% 40-44 Male

                           

                          This is the race in which I crashed my bike before the race even started and ended up in the emergency room with a head injury. This year there will be NO bike warmup ride, just a short run and swim warmup.

                            So ... no pre-race head injury either?

                              I think if I skip the head injury part, I'll have a better shot at getting both of my goals.

                                Time was 1:32:16.

                                 

                                A lot better than I thought I would do, although I'm still a bit disappointed. I was on pace for under 90 minutes, but I pushed a little too hard the second time up Mann Hill and killed my legs for the last 2 miles.
