DFW/Texas Runners - El Scorcho Dos - Who's in? (Read 1612 times)

In for the 25k. I probably shouldn't log into RA after I've been drinking.

I guess this assumes you signed up for the 25k before you got lit enough for the 50k.

As of this moment, as I recover from an ankle injury, I've decided to shoot for a sub 2:00 25k.

That would put you in the top 10 last year.

MTA- I just saw that you finished 6th over all last year tschepit, you think based on my 1:41 half at Cowtown that sub 2:00 is realistic? Posting a goose egg this week won't help, but my left ankle has made it painful to even walk so I decided to rest it until it's better.

Yes, it sounds realistic to me. I ran 1:35 at Cowtown last year, then 1:54 at El Scorcho, and I had all kinds of digestive issues at El Scorcho. My weekly mileage was mostly in the 40-50 range last spring, though - I don't know if you'd see a bigger pace falloff with a lower mileage. I would think that since 25k isn't really that much longer than a half, that you'd be able to keep a similar pace. Throw in the flat El Scorcho course vs. the rolling Cowtown course, and you could probably go a bit faster to keep your time under 2 hours.

45 spots left! The way my last two months have gone, I'm elated that I'm only running the 25k.

Thanks for the heads up, Len. I just signed my husband and myself up for the 25k. We just completed our first half marathon today, so the 50k would have been a bit of a stretch. Lorrie

Awesome, and congrats on your first half. Coincidentally, that was my first HM last year. Nice flat course.

lorrieg, great job on completion y'alls first HM! It was hot out there on Saturday. Bonkin, dude, are you doing Marathon2Marathon again? Nice to see we're going to have a nice group show up. (Maybe someone will need to set up a tent for us )

Maybe in the future, but not this year. It's a long drive - but pretty country out there.

SOLD OUT!

Good thing you got in dude. I'm hoping I can get my mileage up.... need to figure out what the heck is up with my bones!

By my rough count, there's around 255 running the 25k.

Sweet. Depending on how my running goes over the next month - that number may change to 256.
