"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009
Looks like an AWESOME race!!! Beautiful!! WTG on your finishing 1st in AG and 4th OA!!! Looks like a good time!!! Love your shirt I just happen to be from Seattle! Those pictures make me want to run that race!!
Great race report and love the pictures! Gratz on the AG and OA places!! The after party/ beach looked like a great way to spend time after a hot race
Sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing!
Great race and report, Bob! Congrats on your nice finish!
What a neat race--such a good cause, too! That course looks beautiful, and just imagine how cheap it would be to organize a race with no need for traffic control! Those shots of the beach at the end look so much like the beaches around here. The weather sounds pretty similar, too.
Wow - great race - congrats on your finish. Loved the pics! Hey - looks like you finished 3rd OA!! Odd note - ages of #1 + #2 = your age very impressive finish !
way to go, nice report, got me jealous as I sit here in the office in the UK, looking out to the left of me to see rain streaked windows Out of interest what were your splits and time and the winners time?
