Well, I finished.
So yesterday was the Crazylegs Classic (see the previous post for details), and, for me, it was a perfect day for running—cool and overcast. I actually did better than I thought I would, shaving about 6.5 minutes off my best training time. But with 13000+ runners, I didn’t exactly standout, except for my bright yellow shirt.
What’s intersting about seeing the photos afterward is that they explain, in part, why I’ve never been and will never be a competive runner. Besides the faulty heart valve, the real runners are, well, petite. Most races divide runners by gender and age, but some will actually include body type, and I definitely fit in with the Clydesdale Class.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and next year I’ll be sure to carry a camera as I run so as to get some pics of the guy that ran in the a black thong!
Here is my offical time and placement: 48 m. 24 s. / age: 30-34; my place: 777 / overall place: 5312.
Rick, you rock! I would have loved to see black thong man.
