Nice run in some sloppy conditions, Mitch. No PR, but you did very well regardless.

HOw cold and wet it looks in that picture! Lucky friend of yours to win that Garmin. I need to find a race like that, I'm a middle of the packer. Congratulations on 2nd place AG win, and I'm super glad that you're around to run races and all that in the rain too!

Nice RR, hog, and the form is looking good!
Wait. A steeplechase is 3k. Oh, I get it. Cute.
Good job.
btw, I've heard pastors call people who change churches a lot "steeplechasers".
Nice job, Mitch!! Those conditions were definitely not ideal, but you ran a good race anyway!! Congrats on your AG placement - that's awesome!! Love the pic!! Thanks for writing the RR!!
But The Smile That I Sent Out Returned With You.
Mitch, great progress and a great time!!!
If you run long enough you will race in a lot of bad weather. I have run several half's in a total downpour,
some in sub zero and my PR marathon in the fall it was 52F and rained non stop the entire time. I
was completely soaked by mile 3.
You are right about the jacket. It won't keep you dry in those conditions but it will keep in your body
warmth. My big mistake at my fall marathon was not wearing anything other than a light tech shirt. I
almost froze to death and had to stop at an aide station for poncho once I could no longer feel my
fingers!LOL But I still look back on it fondly, it just made me mentally tougher.
Sorry about the GArmin but you ran a heck of a race!!
Congrats!
More cowbell!
Congrats on the race Mitch! It takes a lot to toe the line in such craptastic weather, but it's especially worth it for races that have a lot of meaning to you.
STILL HAVING FUN!!!
