I ran a little over an hour as a recovery run on Sunday. It was fun but my entire body was really tired. Highlight of the morning was the rock throwing accuracy contest Dan and I got into, after watching some kayakers go over the dam. (I video taped it, you can watch the video here ) We called the first 4 contests a tie, and he then squeaked out a win on the "way over the creek on the other side over there, hit the dark grey rock by that tree" contest after we both landed several rocks within inches of hitting it.
Then for the real performances, my friend JT ran the Route 66 marathon yesterday in a solid 3 hours and 3 minutes. This was not his "A" race, so that quite impressive. Not to mention he got 1st place in his weight division (Clydesdale 200+lbs) as he's apparently gotten really fat lately. Nice job, fat man!
Maggie successfully finished her 3rd Ironman at Ironman Arizona (IMAZ) yesterday! It was a ton of fun tracking her all day long on the computer, then seeing her on the online video feed at the finishline as she crossed the finishline! Way to kick some Arizona ass, Maggie!!
Marla had a really strong performance yesterday as well at IMAZ. She had told me after her last IM, that she really wanted to someday manage to run a sub 4 hour marathon in an Ironman. Well, yesterday she came out of the swim in 8th place in her Age Group, then made up 3 spots on the bike, starting the run in 5th place. She then ran a super solid 3:38 marathon leg to improve to 3rd in her Age Group and qualify for the Kona Ironman World Championships next October as the top 3 for her Age Group get automatic qualifiying slots! How awesome is that!
Big congrats to all 3 of you! Thanks for inspiring me! That was awesome to follow!
