Weekend Racers... Anybody?

[thom]

I know blndsnbrdr and I, but is anybody else racing this weekend? I hope so! I need company to bond with.

In case you managed to miss my endless posts about this, I have Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon tomorrow.

"Trail" is kind of deceiving. It's pretty much the opposite of a true trail race. It is mostly rural, but we'll run on a paved pedestrian path that used to be a railroad track, so it's smooth & relatively flat.

Edit: If you listen to "A Prairie Home Companion" - this is it. Farms, fields & small towns in Garrison Keillor land. I basically live in Lake Wobegon. (Though it is a fictional town.)

Good luck! You are going to do so well. Can't wait to hear all about it.

I'm doing a small 5k. I hope to earn another pie!

YEAH! Can't wait to hear about it Good luck!!!

Good luck racers!!!!

I'm sleeping in tomorrow.

[andrealynn]

I keep debating about jumping in to a 5k, but that would put me racing every weekend this month.

Anyway, good luck to those running!

Sweet! Glad you're getting in a race before the big IM!

Happy Mother's Day to all of H&F Moms. Whether racing or not.

Theoretically, I am doing a cross country mountain bike race tomorrow. Between me being sick and the forecasted rain, I may be going only to pick up my packet w/tshirt and beer glass.

I'm doing a local 5K. It's my first race since I broke my foot in November. I am super excited. The race is at noon, which means it should be about 80 degrees with 80%+ humidity. Fun times.

Good luck all of you racing!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the H&F moms!

This sounds like the perfect setup for a fast course! I did my final 22 miler for my last race on a paved rail trail, and it was awesome! You're going to kill it.

Yay thom!!!

I ran many track races at good 'ol Holdingford High School I will be thinking of you and can't wait to hear about it!

[breezy8407]

[emuni04]

I am doing a super sprint tri on Monday. Should be interesting, I haven't done a tri by myself since last April when I did my HIM.

I'm in MT for a wedding and apparently there's a race right near our hotel tomorrow morning. You know I'm going to do it if there's race day registration.

ETA Looks like I'm out of luck. I may just have to hit the hotel treadmill because I don't really know where to go. 

[blndsnbrdr]

So excited for you to rock this thom! Sounds like the perfect course to be awesome on!

I'm actually pretty pumped about race day tomorrow's 50 mile race, which probably means I'm in complete denial. Oh well...here goes nothing!

Good luck everyone!! Can't wait to hear the race reports!

Good luck to everyone!
