Rocked the Cradle

(Philly Cradle of Liberty Race)
 

So why do I always plan events the day before a race?  Ideally it's a relaxing day.  But K-Rocks comes first, and her adventure party is already two months over due.

Wilmington Marathon-A Bracket of One

OK, so I’m on my own.  I don’t know anyone.  I don’t know what to expect.  And it’s the biggest race I’ve ever been in.  I keep telling myself my primary goal is to finish--but if my time is slower than what I’m hoping for, I’ll feel like all my hours of training were wasted.  I need to let that go, but I can’t.

HRC--Expect Anything

Our first High Rock Challenge (HRC) was a “don’t know what to expect” kinda of day. We had been stoked for months about this race, but things looked bad the week before the race. My teammate--Dog-- took a nasty mountain biking fall, followed three days later by an ill-advised playground incident that left him bruised and hobbling two days before the race. Doctor cleared him to go—but we didn’t know what to expect.
