As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Congratulations on the PR - and a trail race that's free, yes!

Aww, Tomas, sorry you didn't get to experience any gators on the trail like I did when I ran in that park. I bet you were all broken up about it too, weren't you?
Congrats on a great half for you!

the free was the best part. I know a lot goes into races, but some races are just way too expensive. Had it not been free, I wouldnt have run it.

Congrats Tomas!!!
So glad all the Fat Tire didn't give you a flat tire! LOL Your pre-race meal would surely have made you some good eatin' for 'gators, so it's a good thing you were speedy.
Congrats!

2XU HM - 29 Mar
Congrats! You are getting so strong! And way to, um, carb load the night before!
Thanks. The carbs were not too bad, but too much BBQ late at night and minimal sleep wasnt good.
Scotty- my feelings were hurt that those caotrs stayed in the water
Waterskimmer- Had one of those gators got me, they would have eaten like kings for weeks.

Dang, Tomas, that's a great time for a first trail HM! Congratulations! I can't believe you're already running races again 2 weeks after your first marathon. You're proving yourself more and more. .... shakes head.... even after those beers. Good for you!

Thanks. I really am having fun.
I just wish races didn't cost so much that it would be cool if there were trails near me.
