My First Race!


I've finally taken the plunge and registered for my first race. An 8K that is being run at the same time at the Philly Marathon. Here's a link to the Rothman Institute 8K. It's on Sunday, November 18th. The distance is about what I'm usually running and will give me a good baseline for how I'll do in actual competition. There is also a half-marathon distance if anyone is interested. Wish me luck!

Do your best man. My only advise is to make sure you pee before you start, but by the course map it appears you have a number of trees you can stop near for such a task.

That is a very accurate map. There are in fact only the 6 trees to choose from. You'd have to swim across to get to the other 4, at which point may as well just use the river.

Seriously tho, you are right to mention this. There will be a serious line at the portables. Gotta get there with enough time to take care of business.
Scotty's past experience as a cross country mover/trucker could prove useful here. (That's not Mt. Dew!!)
