f*** in a. I am a loser. no one ever invites me for that sh*t.

Pssst, Capboy: I know where you can get some beer skis, then you'll get invited....

[andyzee]

You still planning on doing the half marathon this weekend? If so, best of luck.

thanks!

steve, why do you sign your name to all your posts? I'm kinda insulted...I mean, we know it's you and all...your pic and name are just to the left.

someone said the same thing to edg (on tgr) a couple of weeks ago.
for me, just a force of habit, i guess. sorry that you're insulted. try not to take it personally.

-steve

Interesting, the TGR fixation some have. Why is that?

Thinks it makes him cool. Poor soul doesn't have a clue.

That's not true Cappy! You've been invited before.

finished right around 2:41:00 (net) - about 5-10 minutes faster than what I projected. I'm pretty happy with the result.
gotta complain about the ny road runners club though.. let me tell ya - they have no luv for the back of the pack. they advertised that the race would have services for anyone who completes in under 3 hours - they didn't. at least two aid stations were shut down as I passed, and solid refreshments (fruit) at the finish line were completely gone. my wife overheard another back-of-the-packer (an old-timer) say, "the club hasn't been the same ever since fred lebow died."

still, I am very happy with the way this half-marathon went. I had about a 12:30 pace in a 13.1-mile run with some killer hills (another complaint about the nyrrc is the advertised this course as flat - it wasn't even close.) I'm not sure that I could have maintained that pace for another 13.1 miles - so I'll really have to get some training in for the full marathon in december, and also try to back the pace off to about 13 minutes/mile.

HE LIVES!! Me too :)

Edit: Hey, I thought it was supposed to be a run?

So, you gonna try running in your next race?

[CAPBOY]

If you actually ran in any of the races you said you did, you would'nt dis anyone that had the balls to go out further than a 5 miler no matter how fast they went.

I know I can run circles around YOU and Pizza, but there are lots that can do the same to me.

I actually ran the whole thing - never stopped to walk once, even on those hills. That is why I'm happy with the run.
walking a 12:17 pace would be a power-walk - which is cardiovascularly more difficult than running at that pace, but easier on the knees.

I only have three pictures from the race

I beat Larry the Lighthouse


Looking good before the start:


Not looking quite as good at mile 13.07:


I wonder if andy can jog faster than me in the marathon? yes, that is a challenge. If you take it, either PM me or post something so compelling that someone else will quote it. See you in Las Vegas. December 10th.

[SkiDork]

whats up with that power walking stuff? Maybe I should try that, seeing as how I love running but my knees don't... Any advice?
