Running a marathon today

[Robert]

Starting Edmonton Marathon in 2 hours... still not too late to guess my time! I ran 2:43:30 in September last year. What will my time be today?

It may rain today, which is good I think, since there's been a lot of smoke from forest fires around here.

I'll report my time as soon as I can after the race.

Wow, I should have know you were fast, Robert!
My prediction:
2:42:00


Not that you of all people need any tips, but my favorite (bike) racing tip was,
"Train your weaknesses. Race your strengths."

I hope you had a good run Roberto. How many people showed up?

Wishin' you all the best, boss! No injuries is what I'm hopin' for, what with you being in the "old man's" league and all...oke :running :thumbsup

2:44:50. Not a good race! I'm pissed. I ran out of energy and went from 3rd to 5th over the last 3 km. Not acceptable. Now I'll regroup and try to find a redeemer marathon in December somewhere.

I'm useless in long distances and I'm a young buck. Bravo!

 

[Robert]

Oh, and third place would have given me 500 bucks... :mad

YOU may be happy with your time but under 3 hours if world class running.
congrats!!!!

You did great! I know you have done better but you are so much better than 99.9999% of the rest of the world. If I could run a half-marathon in that time I'd be sh-ting bricks with joy. Well done and give'em hell next time!
