Raccoon Mountain Marathon 2019

What in all of hell was that?! I had my 4th worst “just a marathon” time today at Raccoon Mountain in Chattanooga. The race was challenging (2238 ft elevation gain), and I’m injured (a number of places but most painfully my left glute since Hawai’i) but I really don’t have an explanation for why I…

Big long thing number 175 complete at the Flying Monkey Marathon.

Blister in the Sun Marathon 2016

Marathon or longer #87, #23 Year-to-date. Blister in the Sun, in Cookeville, TN. Hot, hilly, and humid, though the RD was apparently unable to keep the clouds away, there was still plenty of sadism. Fun fact: Tennessee has some weird speed limits. It’s 19 mph in some areas of Collierville and 31 mph in some…
