2010 THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY VIRTUAL

runNYtrails · Nov 18, 2010

Whoooo-Hoooo !! 
It's The 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Weekend Holiday Fat Ass !
 
 
LOCATION: Right Here in the Extreme Running Room !!
COURSE: Your Choice - Indoor, Outdoor, Road, Track, Trail, Treadmill 
Wherever You Are is where it is At !
It can be flat or hilly, point to point or loop-de-loop. You make up your own !
(Organized runs, races or other FA events also qualify) 
TIME: Start - 12:00 AM Thursday November 25th
Finish - 12:00 AM Monday the 29th
Entry Fee: FREE !
 
 
This is an honor system fun run and this is how it works -
 
 
Run or walk 25K, 50K or 50 Miles any time during the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend - Thursday through Sunday. That means You have 4 DAYS or 96 Hours to complete your race !
 
However ...
 
For result reporting, Your "official time" is the difference between your start time, (when you first start running) and your finish time (when you have finished the full 25K's, 50K's or 50 Miles). You can take breaks, but your Official Time will be the time between Start and Finish and includes the breaks if you have taken any. See examples below - 
 
Example 1 - At 5:00 A.M. Thanksgiving morning the gun goes off for your event, THE GIBLETS & GRAVY FA 50K . You run till 9.00 AM and complete 35K before running out of Pumpkin PowerGels and are so huuuuungry that You head home to try n sneak a little prelude to the Thanksgiving Feast. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Oh JOY ! Pie awaits You ! Fresh, homebaked, hot apple pie . MMMMMmmmmm .... You dive in and cant control yourself. After a few wedges You decided have eaten too much and cant possibly go back out there right away, so You hit the couch for nap and some TV then check in on the KICKRUNNERS Forum to see how everyone else's FA is going. At 1.00 PM you decide you can continue your event. You run the remaining 15K and finish at 3.00 PM. Start Time = 5am / Finish Time = 3 PM. You have taken a total of 10 hours to run 50k, that is your result.
 
 
Example 2 - <img alt="laughing7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing7.gif"> Your mother-in-law is coming to visit. You decide you want to spend as much time as possible with her so You start running as soon as you get up (4:00 am) and run as fast as you can for 50K. You finish running at 8:00 AM. Your total time is 4 hours. That is your result. MIL is just getting up. It will be a loooong time til the pies are served so you get some pancakes, bacon n eggs and homefries fired up. You're her hero for the day, you can relax now.
 
 
 
Example 3 - Gun went off at 9:00 AM Thursday for the Turkey Trot in yer hometown. It was a 5 miler and you aced it in 31:15 for a First in yer AG award ! <img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif"> You were so happy that, after a few beers and a 6 pack of tofu pups to celebrate, you ran all the way home which was 3 miles from the Finish Line ! You spent the rest of the day waiting on your In-laws and their whiny kids and were exhausted so you took Friday off from running (whimp). Saturday you hit the trails at the crack of dawn. 12.5 miles of torturous single track in the snow took you 3.5 hours ! You reward your (cumulative) 20.5 mile effort by having a few Yeunglings Saturday night. <img alt="occasion14.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/occasion14.gif"> On Sunday you realize you signed up for the 50K not the 25 <img alt="shock.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif"> !! So now you've got to get your Fat Ass back out there for 10.5 more miles before midnight ! You go to your favorite park at noon and run around the golf course 6 times doing 7 minit miles and finish in 1:13:30 (man, you faaaast for a slightly hungover fat asss). At 1:13:30 PM on Sunday you have finally completed all 50K. Your time issssssssssss .... 76:13:30 (3days, 4hrs and 13.5 minits), that is your result. Yer not the last ass in the barn but pretty darn close. Have another drumstick to celebrate then get busy writing up your RR.
 
 
GOT IT ??
 
Results, stories, and photos should be reported here in the Extreme Running Room. I will start a separate thread for them. Please have everything in as soon as possible so we can get results posted and get on with the awards !!

I'll do something, but I'm still working out the route details.

swallen1 · Nov 19, 2010

I'm in for the 25k. Weenie, I know. But, I have 3 dinners in 3 days in 3 different towns, so I'll be driving (and eating) all weekend. Come to think of it, I will need to run....

So, the route I mapped is 72 miles.... so I guess sign me up for the 50 mile distance. I'm going to have to cut the distance down, because I'm way too fat and out of shape to be running 72 miles. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
 
A name huh? Hmmm.... 
"Golden to Boulder Fat Ass 50 Mile Run"
 
Hopefully it will wind up being 50M... if not, I'll carry it into Saturday. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">
 
PS: Some of these emoticons are weird...WTH is this....

Sports Ortho has just released me from the aircast into a flat, stiff-soled shoe... still another two weeks from running/meaningful walking.
But, I think I can pull off a more diminutive version of last year's Three Legged Turkey Trundle - possibly something along the lines of a Genetically-Modified Three-Toed Cornish Game Hen Peck.
 
I'm SO excited!! <img alt="toothy12.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/toothy12.gif">
