Battle of the Triad Half Marathon by ashby3 at Garmin Connect - Details

Good race well mostly - would I recommend it yes but it was not a great race - I ran well and felt good I had some pain behind and above my left knee in the muscle - not sure what that was - I PRed well I did at 13.1 miles - I got off the route and added .9 miles to the route - it was my own fault I was taking pictures as usual and missed a turn - I did get some good pictures - at 13.1 miles my Garmin showed me at 3:27 - I like the course but it would have helped to have more course monitors - between miles 6 and 7 the water stop was out of water - the folks were still there but no water - the police were great - I was the last to finish and was likely a number of minutes behind the other but they keep the course open did not try to push me and were just great - we had a chip on our bib's but there was no timing mat a the start nor at the finish there was a guy there who recorded my time on a laptop and I was told I would get an official finishing time - they did have a medal but it is one of the cheapest ones I have seen but ti is a medal none the least - it looks like something some as a generic medal but with a little plate on the back with the name of the race, date and finisher - cheap but OK - the thing which bothered me the most was I did not get a t-shirt that fits - I paid in advance two months before the race, my bib said I was to get a XL shirt when I got there I was told they ran out of XL shirt at the because to people who registered the day before got them all - it seems to me that is someone preregisters for a race that promises a shirt one should be set aside for them - when I tried to ask the race organizer about this she said we do not have any left and was told that she really did not care if I was unhappy about this - not a good way to start a run -

Galloway Run #14 - 2011

Good run and I personal new long run record - OMG did it rain - I think the only thing I have ever done where I was more wet was when I was SCUBA diving - six of us gathered at 4:15 AM and we headed out to the trail - we were less than half a mile in and the sky opened - it was raining when we started but it really started to come done - it was raining so hard I was not taking pictures, so hard we could hardly see the train with out headlamps, so hard we could not heard our Gym Bosses - we ran out one mile turned around and headed back - we pick up about three more runner and headed out again - we had to walk the last quarter of a miles it was raining so hard we were having trouble seeing the trail - we picked up some more runners and decided to run under the parking garage - this was a lot dryer but it got old quickly - the Forerunner 310xt did a pretty good gob plotting my route in spite of being under the parking garage - at this time Ron started the official run and suggested we might want to continue to run under the garage due to the lighting - there was lighting and it was impressive but it was a long way away however we did do several more laps around the garage until the rain let up again and we hit the green-way again - we made it to the water stop at two miles and turned around and the rain had already come back - We went back to the mall to get water and back to the green-way and headed the other way - when we got to the underpass at Glenwood it was completely flooded as we suspected so we ran around back to the mall and then back out to the green-way again and headed the way we had run the first several time - this was a real mile stone for me 3 miles farther than I had ever run before and I am tired and sore afterward but I did well and I am not destroyed - we had a nice gathering after the run and I did a little shopping also - no pain no problems - blood pressure 169/84 52 sugar 94 weight up a bit - I really want to thank my Galloway running friends they really helped me do this long run -
