I'm doing the 10K for Exile. I see they run through water works and around gray's lake. I can't see that happening if it keeps raining.
No, you actually hit a wall/hill at mile 7 with that first hill after the ball fields south of I-80
Good advice. D2D is an easy run to tank on the first half being so flat and downhill and than having some nice hills the 2nd 10K. I always feel like the day turns humid and hot on the 2nd half also!
This is my fifth year, and every other year I run myself out of it too early in the first half. This is the first year I hope to key on pace the whole race....No, you actually hit a wall/hill at mile 7 with that first hill after the ball fields south of I-80
How'd everybody do? I finished in 2:36, which I was satisfied with considering it was my first year, I weigh 240 (and dropping) and my only previous organized run was a 5K last summer. My knees are killing me, I'm going to take a couple weeks off, but hope to keep it up for the rest of the year and clear 2:00 next year!
My knees are stiff too. Had good weather for a run. Hasn't run it since they crossed the river on the footbridge. Didn't like that bottleneck.
Awesome work!
I PR'ed on my side. Was a great day for running. Clouded up pretty quickly though right after the race. Long day of walking to appease the Farmer's Market crowd in my viewing party.
I hated the bibs with the chip on it. Made it too heavy. Prefer on the shoe. And the Porta potty situation always sucks at every race. Other than that, good times (pun intended)
finished in under 2 hours, which is always my goal. I usually crash on this race around mile 10, but this year felt great. (except having to poop for the last couple miles.. they sure hid the portos after the race also.)
Was kind of worried because all the rain made it harder to get out and train.

Went all right for me,1:51:03, 4 mins better than last year, but 9 mins off my PR, 1:42- in 2009, I doubt I will ever get that fast without a lot more preparation. The weather was beautiful, the crowd was out of hand, every year it seems to get bigger, had no beers, got sick of waiting and decided to just go down to Hessen Haus. Very sore today though, with crazy weekend and little sleep (Swingin Utters Friday, dam to dam and SWINE fest on Saturday).... Anybody doing the Run to Exile this weekend????
I personally wasn't pleased with my result but just found out I was running on an ankle in need of surgery so that's my excuse. After recovery, training starts for next year.
