Thats right, they start things early in Huntington I guess. So it will be a Sunrise start at 6:50 tomorrow morning for the Surf City Marathon. I have the typical race nerves and anxiety (actually kinda atypical for me) but we shall see. I am feeling pretty good (I think). Its kinda strange, I have never really gotten used to this whole taper business and it is playing havoc on my mind. But, again, we shall see.
We have assembled a little crew of 5 and set a challenge. Whoever doesn't beat their respective goal has to rock a speedo only in a sprint tri this season a-la Faris Al-Sultan. For the sake of all the spectators at the sprint, I will do my best to prevent them from having to suffer through such an atrocious site. So its sub 2:55 or eternal embarrassment. Should be motivation enough, don't ya think?
IAN!
ReplyDeleteOwn it... I am rooting for you! Have a GREAT marathon!! So wish I was running with you, something about a marathon without 112 miles before it totally fires me up!
YOU can do it! 2:55, get on it!
Sorry what was that about your taper? I thought you weren't having a taper tantrum :P
