Yep, heard about that! I’m still peeved from last year so probably won’t be doing any Atlanta Track Club events again, but feel bad for all those that had their races cut short!

Non-Disney Races
- Thread starter Demarke
- Start date
Runners need to anticipate races in the South being cancelled before or during due to weather. Especially races that don't have an early AM start. I'm just surprised it was a storm, not the blistering heat, that was the cause for the cancellation.

Ran the ET Full Moon Half Marathon this past weekend in Rachel, NV (near Area 51). The run started at 12:30am Sunday morning after taking a 2.5 hour bus ride from Las Vegas to the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel, NV. Weather was nice and even a bit chilly by the time I finished. We hung out at the bar and had several well earned drinks until getting on the 6:30am bus back to the hotel in Vegas. This is an extremely unique run that I recommend as long as you're up for how different it is. They offer a 5k, 10k, half, full, and 51k where it's just you, the darkness, and the miles. The woman who runs the company is fantastic and puts a bunch of effort into each event. We've ran this run 6 years in a row.

Ran a Honey 'Mead' 5k this morning hosted by Batch Mead in Temecula, CA. A tiny run but full of heart and charm.
Afterward we headed down to San Diego to grab our bibs for the America's Finest Cuty half marathon tomorrow... they finally cancelled the run around 7pm after Newsom declared a state of emergency. We'll get our medals at a later date and run it virtually. Oh well. The quiet before the storm provided a stunning sunset tonight... stay safe out there if you're in SoCal!

Ran a 4.7 mile race yesterday in the rain after a more than 1 week heatwave of record temps here. In the beginning of the race you could still feel the heat coming off the roads. I finally broke my record of “never being last“ (on more than one occasion 2nd or 3rd to last but never last). However this time it paid

Ran the John Wayne True Grit 10k trail run in Lone Pine this morning. A lot of sand... but great views of the Alabama Hills and Mount Whitney and lots of beer at the finish line. Also spent time petting John Wayne's son's dog for a while after finishing.
When in January?

Ran the Run the 110 10k this morning. Interesting run but extremely unorganized.
My pace is surprisingly already pretty good considering my crappy training regimen. I am not too concerned for the back to back Disney halfs in January...

So, when my walker friends finished, they were out of medals. The run just sent out an email saying that someone stole a box of 1000 medals and proceeded to walk down the 110 handing them out to anyone who would take them. Good ole LA!

Also ran the Whittier Spooktacular 5k on Saturday... I was dressed up as a cloud as my friend's baby was dressed up as a pilot in a stroller airplane...

Last weekend a did a 10k in Lucerne and had GORGEOUS weather (don’t have any photos downloaded yet) and today did a 20k relay in AWFUL weather and while my bestie had the worst of the rain (and pretty much all of the uphills 
) I was stuck with a headwind for most of my run.

Did my first SWIM event. I completed the 1.5km swim at the Barbados Open Water Festival. Lots of sea turtles on course!! It was awesome, so hard, and felt Caribbean Beach adjacent
Would I do it again? YES! Do I need training-YES!!!
Add the cycling and you are ready for a triathlon
(I volunteer at several triathlons since I’m an even slower swimmer than runner and I don‘t care much for cycling)
