I ran it last year and it was way overcrowded and no one respected the staggered start corrals by pace and it wasn't policed. Had to run around / through walkers from the start. I heard they're looking to make it even bigger next year. It was a fun experience, but don't expect a good race.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169281096117913024.post-60049791670132352832012-10-23T17:44:47.291-05:002012-10-23T17:44:47.291-05:00@ Otis & Drizz: I plan to run Spinx in a desu...@ Otis & Drizz: I plan to run Spinx in a desultory 8:45-9:00/mile pace. So you both have a solid expectation of crushing me.<br /><br />@ DrChako: I bill at $350/kilometer.<br /><br />@ KenP: My writing license only extends to "analytical". I believe Otis and Peaker both have the "creative", "lyrical", and "poetic" licenses covered.<br /><br />@ S: There are days my knees and ankles remind me I'm on the wrong side of 40.

As I've advanced to being closer to 50 than 30, I no longer get to ignore them. I can't run on any surface remotely as hard as pavement without my knees failing me. I'll settle for running vicariously through others, I suppose. I'll meet you at the end of the Vegas mini with a stiff drink ;)<br />--Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040554189573573008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169281096117913024.post-56709859954255180332012-10-23T00:26:12.032-05:002012-10-23T00:26:12.032-05:00Since you'll finish the half early, would you ...Since you'll finish the half early, would you mind running the 5K for me?<br /><br />Just askin'...<br /><br />-DrCDrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169281096117913024.post-209647856247394132012-10-22T21:38:06.992-05:002012-10-22T21:38:06.992-05:00Holy hell.

There was a point when I thought I hoped to give you a run for your money, but that's not even in play now. Nice work. Excited to see how you do here Saturday.
