There are several of you racing this weekend, so I am already looking forward to more race reports to share online. On Saturday, Derek Hurdle is racing in the Carry Your Cross 5k in Greenville, and Jason Irvin is running in the Human Race 5k in Wilson.
Further away from home, the RMEC has sent a crew to tackle the Flying Pig Marathon. Amber Poole and Ron Fleming will both be completing their first marathons. Blisters and injuries have hampered their training, but I still expect great things. Frank Lilley, and Ursula Forrester will also be racing the full.
Eric Pate is participating in the "Pump and Run" competition. He will see how many bench press reps he can do on Saturday, and then do the normal marathon on Sunday. For each rep he completes, he will get time deducted from his result. I can't wait to hear how he does! Jon Shingleton will be racing in the Half Marathon as well. This will be Jon's second race at this distance. You can track runners live by using the Swine Line.
Also on Sunday, Brent Brondyke is competing in the White Lake Half Ironman Tri. I am not 100% certain, but I am pretty sure this is Brent's first attempt at this distance. Good luck everyone!
yes, this was my first half ironman. i was slow, but swam, biked and ran according to plan. i lived, that was the main goal. in total i was happy with my 6:43 finish.
