I've finished 25 marathons and haven't mastered that yet. I'll keep trying...... Congrats! This seems like a great race. I may have to put it on my list. Thanks for the details.

He's the fastest person in the area & broke the record he held for the course/race this year. There must have been a typo when he registered. Glad you enjoyed the race. I've run the half the last three years, & I like having the half & full courses together until mile 10. That way there's more likely to be someone to run with. Hope your great writeup will encourage others to come next year. -James DudleyJames Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009073137025671684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-79242169885807117592016-11-16T18:22:06.545-06:002016-11-16T18:22:06.545-06:00Yippeee!

I think it's cool that you not only ran a good and smart and fast race but that you enjoyed it so much. To me, that's what racing is all about. P.S. Michael, I love, love, love your tights.

That's hard to beat. I can't believe there were six people in your age group running faster than a 3:23: that's unusually fast. But oh well, still got a solid BQ and a great experience. And yes, age group awards...you really never know what the competition will look like, so I don't set much store by them.<br />I never visited my brother at Fort Benning, and now I see your beautiful pictures and think I should have run this race! He's transferring this spring, so I missed my chance!
