Here’s a video review of last year’s race (free beer!) courtesy of Get Out There Magazine:
Here’s all the reasons I’m excited::
Free Beer!
Weather looks good.
Free Coffee*
Free Beer!
Course is pretty flat:
Race Route is approximate... it was the best I could do with Google Earth
Free Chilli
On my last tempo run, my hear rate stayed at 78% of max or below, so I think I can make the finish line in less than two hours.
Free Beer!
It starts at 10:05 AM perfectly reasonable to get the whole family out, and because we have friends in the area, they won’t have to wait outside the whole time.
For this week's training (still in Taper mode), I did 5 km on the treadmill Monday, a Trifecta Tuesday involving a 1.4km swim (with kick drills, fist swimming and water jogging), Rowga (which really stretched out all the muscles I wanted streched out!). I got my 1.5 mile tempo run with warm-up and cool-down giving me about 11 km total run for the week.
Hopefully the rest of the week and weekend will be restful... on Sunday I hope to run like there is no tomorrow. And from a training perspective, there won't be!
