Post Race Highs (and Lows)

Steve Carton — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:46:18 GMT

Well, I (for one) had a very good race. Not a PR, but I didn't expect one with all the hills in the second half. But I ran this last year and the hills ate me. This year I felt like I ate them And I finished strong. Race was well organized. The weather was tough, but hey - it could have been hot; I guess I prefer what we had. For me, at my pace, the rain started at about mile 11 and continued pretty much to the end. I remember an old adage from my backpacking days about "an ounce on your feet is like a pound on your back". If so, then all of the second half, I was carrying a bunch of extra pounds on my back - my shoes and socks were soaked. But it was great fun. If I was faster, I would have been in rain shorter

Relay Distance Splits

pegharris — Mon, 04 May 2009 14:43:37 GMT

Does anyone have the actual distances for each leg of the relay? They were not accurate according to our Garmins worn on leg 2 and 4. Someone else said Leg 3 was inaccurate as well. Looks like the totals for marathon still was 26.2 of course, but the actual split distances were not - and therefore the paces listed under each split were not. The race seemed like a great one for marathoners and half-marathoners, but I think it could use alot more work/support for the relayers. Thanks!

Congratulations marathoners! I know some of you must have been wearing Garmins and have been analyzing the details of your incredible race. Could you do me a favor and find the times that are listed on the splits of your results on the Frederick Marathon Results page and tell me what distances these correspond with on your Garmin? Thank you!!!

prizes

ironcityman65 — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:50:40 GMT

I was wondering if anyoune can help me? Yesterday I ran the half and placed 2nd in my age group(40-44). I, however injured my hip halfway through the race and went to the medical tent and then left to get some more attention for the injury thinking my time was too slow to place. I know they said they wouldnt send prizes in the mail, but in my circumstance wondered if an exception could be made. Does anyone know who I should contact to find out? This was my first half and would like the prize given my injury. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Monday Morning Race reports

KrisWheeler — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:26:22 GMT

Hi all,

Trying to pay it forward. Hope that all of you runners achieved your goals and had a good time yesterday. I completed my first full marathon today and was happy to do it in Frederick. I am recovering at home today instead of limping around at work so I am scanning the forums to keep myself entertained. I posted my full race report on my Active.com blog (http://community.active.com/blogs/bowieterp/2009/05/04/my-first-marathon-race-report) and would love to read any others. So many runners, volunteers, and fans motivated me with kind words and cheers I could not begin to thank everyone but would love to try.

I hope everyone is dry and happy. Please share your experience. Thanks.

Hello! Does anyone know who I can contact about my results? I'm not sure if everyone is posted yet, but my husband's info is up and mine isn't. I had my chip on, so I'm not sure what happened. Thanks!

race day shirt exchange?

KarenFleming — Sat, 02 May 2009 22:15:24 GMT

We got home from the expo and got the wrong sizes & gender for our half marathon shirts. Does anyone know if it will be possible to do a shirt exchange after the race on race day? Thanks!
