a race start..<br><br>
I was suppose to do a race up in Lowell this morning. But I went out last night and stayed out later then planned. A few more beers then planned. Had to sleep it off...<br><br>
Oh well, there's plenty of other races this year.

 

[slow_n_steady]

Oops.

 

[MBannon]

D'oh! Sounds like the evening was worth it, though.

 

[Tithers]

Slacker!<br><br>
How far was it? A 5k?<br><br>
Don't worry...make up for it in the pool! Attack the 400Y again!

 

[Chris the Wheeler]

Only a 5k. I guess I needed the sleep.<br><br>
It was worth it.

 

[QuixoticNotions]

Well, if it was worth it, good. There will be other races.<br><br>
I've never missed a whole race, but I've missed the start of a race. Spent the first two miles catching up to everyone else. It was funny as all, but not a good race <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

If it makes you feel any better...a friend of mine signs up for the Marine Corps Marathon every year. On the day of the race, her husband turned off the alarm clock and they overslept! She never made it to the starting line. Instead, she went out and ran 30 miles. If it were me, I would have been pretty mad at hubby....

 

[Kate60]

Ha ha, how do you think you would've raced? Me thinks sleeping was the way to go. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Jean Paul, Jean Paul, get up Jean Paul...

 

[Chris the Wheeler]

Probably like crap. I had brown bottle flu when I woke up.

I missed a race start last year when I showed up a 7:15 for a 7:30 start that was actually 7:00. I managed to catch the BOP and not come in last place. I almost killed a couple of people milling around near the chute not expecting someone to come flying into the finish that late in the race.

Chris, there's a 5 miler in Lowell next Sunday that I'm doing if you want to add a race. Beer available after (based out of an irish pub).

 

[Doug33]

There's your silver lining, Chris! Now, what could be better...a race WITH beer.

 

[Chris the Wheeler]

Really? Got a link?<br><br>
I thought the Claddaugh race was this past Sunday.

 

[LeftRightRepeat]

it was. But it was 4 miles. This weekend is the <a href="http://www.kerouac5k.com/hynes/index.html" target="_blank">Hynes</a>.

 

[em73]

yeah, they've made them a series with the frozen shamrock (3 miles, 2/24).<br><br>
we'll be there sunday at the hynes if anyone wants to meet up.

 

[Chris the Wheeler]

I'll have to check with the Mrs. If she doesn't mind me taking off for a few hours. I may be there.
