5:15 Pace Group

hydesroad — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:55:46 GMT

Dear 5:15 Group Participants,

What a wonderful crew you were this year. Congratulations and thank you for joining us on our voyage across Baltimorrrrre. Some of us discussed the potential for seeing the pacer group photos online. After giving our exhausted coordinators some time to recover from this weekend, I'll ask them if any photos are to become available for viewing and if they do will post the link on this site. This process may take some time and roadblocks may appear, but we can hope! Checkback after a while and in the meantime you can contact me at hydesroad@gmail.com.

It would be a blarmy delight to walk the plank with every one of you again next year. On behalf of the rest of the scurvy crew: Jenn, Jodie, & Susan:

Fair winds and following seas.

I'm planning to do my first half next year in Baltimore.....all the posts here make it look like a good place to start. When is registration? I see that there is a limit...how long does it take to fill-up?

Thanks!

I made it!!!!!

This was one of the most difficult and rewarding things I have ever done. I was a wreslter in school and I thought that was the most challenging thing ever, but this makes that seem like pre school. I ran my own race and stayed with the plan I had come up with and I made it. Miles 1 through 11 were great, I was running a little over a 5 hour pace, then the ole IT Band kicked in. When I was training this is where I would stop running to let my knee rest, But not on race day....HELL NOOOOO!!!! it hurt like crazy but just sucked it up and finished in 5:38. only 8 minutes longer then I originally thought. All the people on the sidelines kept me going. I remember training and being on long runs and thinking when will this run end. On race day that thought never entered my head. I have never been around so many people that are just willing you to succeed, from the runners around me to the people cheering it was great. This was my first race ever and it will always be special. I will be back next year and will be running more marathons until then. I want to thank everyone who gave advice here over the training period and wish everyone well until next year.........GOOD RUNNING TO EVERYONE!

Gummy Bear Station @ Mile 23... 28th and Guilford

GummyBearMan — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:38:44 GMT

Once again we will be manning our Gummy Bear Station, at 28th and Guilford.

This is approximately mile 23 (mile 10 for the half marathon).

With 400 pounds of Gummy Bears, up from 320 last year, we promise to be there until the least-fastest marathoner passes.

For those that don't yet know...

Gummy bears are a great late marathon snack. Here's why:

You can hold them in your hand and they won't melt.
They are chewy, and give your mouth something to do.
They give you the carbs you need and crave.
They are small enough that you wont choke on them.
If you do inhale one, you won't die.
They taste great.
You can bite their little heads off.

Say Hi as you go by.

Race Report w/ pics and video

DCtoPgh — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:38:14 GMT

Hi All. I ran the race on Saturday and had a great time. I used it as a training run so took some pictures and video that are included in my race report which can be found here. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did this weekend

First Time Marthoner Prizes

Alyosha1 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:59:50 GMT

I registered at the expo before the race as a first time marathoner to try to qualify for a share in the first-timer purse that was being offered. Happily, I succeeded in beating the 3:25 threshold set for men. Does anyone know if any information on these awards has been posted following the race? The runner's handbook said checks would be mailed 30 days after the race, but is there anywhere I can confirm that I am on the list to share in the purse?
