a short phone update. today was corral c dopey half marathon
18000 people and we missed each other so I was on my own.
went to my assigned corral near the front and was off less than 15 min after the gun
a good deal warmer so the pre standing around was easier. and I got to run in shorts
tossed my shirt at mile 4 and then had a pleasant ‘normal’ Florida run
turned in a solid performance given i flew the races the last 2 days and the full mary is on for tomorrow.
I got a shout out from the announcer at the finish line. (tech - they know who you are and where you are)
and it’s nice having mrs dm at the finish. no we don’t hug. I’m all soggy and drippy….
so 3 down and pounded just half the miles
for me these 4 days are all about the run. race, recovery, eating, resting.
for a lot of folks its only race and eating plus Orlando!!! and Disney/epcot!!!! and all that. thats an impressive load. of course a lot only do one race. certainly though some dopey people are in the parks.
looking forward to another bowl of pasta and then the main event. 4 days of this is a marathon in itself and quite enough.
meanwhile, ‘someone’ mentioned a 50k race. I wouldnt say no, and I’m not saying yes….yet.
next update will be from the other side.
