Our friend decided to invite a bunch of friends to do a loop endurance race.
Its where you get a allotted time to finish a loop, then each time the loop starts again, you get less time. The last person to finish the loop in time is the winner!
WAY harder than it seems, and requires a tad bit of strategy too. Rockwell did well, I think he did 7 of the 1..5 mile loops, I think I did 9? and I believe Larry did 11 or 12. out of 30 something racers, Larry came in third I believe!
Nick joined us for a few fast laps at the beginning, but had to go do something. I think his fast laps messed me up because I ran a few laps with him. 🙂

This is a picture that Rockwell CREATED.. He received a graphics tablet as a Christmas present from Hannah. I’m pretty sure this is the first thing he created with it.
Larry Hicks and I went running in the cold rain at FATS.. did 7 miles, (bigrock/tower) and enjoyed a beer in the dark afterward. It’s funny how little things like this are awesome in the moment.
Running in the rain Selfie.
On the way to dropping Hannah off in columbia so she can meet up with a friend and drop some things off at Winthrop before the school year starts. She made personalized chainmail gifts for her close friends.

Also known as a “comedy of errors”.
So, Work sponsors races all the time, so If I go to a race, chances are its because I get a free entry. (You know me…)
This time it was the Augusta half marathon. A mildly popular race. (not anything as big as the Augusta Half Iron Man.) So, last night, I looked up where and when we were supposed to be there, and I read “NO PACKET PICKUP DAY OF RACE”.. Really? This is NOT that big of a race.. Not even close. OK, Guess I’m running Rogue then, because.. no packet. so, I get there, and realize I did not bring my running shoes. nice. Fortunatly/unfortunatly. Im wearing an old pair of retired trail running shoes. OK, Guess I’ll run in these then. Then, I start Strava in bike mode. (not running mode) so it wont give pace or split info. great. Then, at the end of the race, I take a picture of the timer… but there are two timers? what? AND, the time seems to be way slow.. I though I ran under 2 hours. but the timers are OVER two hours.. turns out, those timers where for the 5k and 10k .. WTH. the Half timer was on the other side in a different place. Really? come on people.
Anyway.. Its all good. First Half marathon, 1:55:54 About a 8:50 pace average. I’m good with that.
Here is a picture of the (wrong) clock(s) when I crossed the line.
Here is a picture of all 3 clocks so i can calculate the right time. Turns out I just had to subtract 15 minutes from the clock that said 2:04:11.
The finishers medal.. Gotta’ get one of these, or else you didn’t finish. 🙂
Here is my Strava.. in bike mode of course.. slightly different than the calculated time.. 🙂 Slightly longer too.
