Seattle Marathon - November 28th 2010 (Page 2)

Once everyone knows their bib number - post 'em!  We'll be there cheering you all on!!

Would they cancel/post-pone the race if it snows?
I'm not talking about it just snowing and not sticking but if there was a couple inches of snow on the roads?

I don't think they cancel.

x2. I think it's pretty much business as usual.

I know the 12K's of Kirkland (Or was it Jingle Bells?) was canceled one year due to ice. This was 2-3 years ago, if my memory serves me. But those races are much smaller than the marathon, obviously!

 I think the more realistic question would be if you could actually get to the marathon start line if it is snowy (have you ever seen people out here with even a FORECAST of snow?  It is like Armageddon!).

We always stay at a hotel within 5-10 minutes walking distance from the start line, so getting there is not a problem.

Remember our last big snowstorm?

Need warmer weather in 6 days or less!




The really great part is I spent 3 hours on a standing room only bus just to get across the bridge to get TO my vehicle where I took this picture.  Yay Seattle area drivers.

And this is what we have to look forward to on Sunday. Wow!!
Maybe I should wear some canadian snow shoes rather than my running shoes EH!!

Don't worry, all the snow has melted  

Bib number 2343.  See you guys tomorrow!

Bib number added!! Have a great race, everyone!!

I had to cancel this year, work (construction) slowed to part time last month so I'm keeping the entry fee in savings. Now in a twist on "hurry up & wait" some last minute work showed up & I worked yesterday, today, and will be working tomorrow. Been taking advantage a shifted training from run focus to maintaining the run & getting serious about cycling (spinning) and swimming. Going well so far, that's why I love multi-sport.

Everyone running tomorrow have a great day! Have fun, be safe, and finish smiling!

My bib # is 11362.

Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Saw Eric and Lynne at the start, and Eric coming in to the finish. Met Rory and Deanna (BuDu Racing) as well after their finish. 3 PRs so far...

Post your results!

I was far too under-trained yet I PR'd with 3:03. Holy cow!

Well done Lynne!

ITB acted up at frickin mile 2.  Never in training.  I just about dropped out at mile 13, but bullheadedness wins.  Finished it but it was a crappy day and I'm going to be paying for it for the next month.

I went out too fast, 1:34 for the first half, started getting fatigued at 15 miles, met 'the wall' around mile 18, struggled in with 9-10 min/mile. 3:23 total, and one of The toughest races ive done. And being sick all week/currently probably played aFactor! Great Job to everyone out there - weather turned out fantastic!

Finished my first 1/2 marathon in 1:49 unofficial.  Looking forward to the next race.

Thanks to Dave and Lisa for the support at the race
