Turkey Trot 2004
Ran in the 30th Longmont Turkey Trot on Saturday. I had missed the year before due to a knee injury, so was happy to make it back. Would have been happier with a time in the 48 minute range, but as usual I'm pretty happy with just finishing. I run this distance or a tad more fairly regularly, but there is something exhilirating about "race day" ambiance and atmosphere.
If you aren't a runner or any type, you should try it. Most local communities have many sponsored races and include 10k, 5k, distances and 2 Mile fun runs. I think AJ may want to do a fun run as he gets older - which would be cool to do a race together. This is the site I use, Active.com. The three best features:
- Outdoor event search by zip code
- Easy online registration for any listed event - I use the same form / interface each time, rather than deal w/ various forms - and a lot of my general information is saved and reuseable
- A weekly email newsletter personalized with upcoming events in my area for activity categories that I choose.
- Race results are made available to Active.com members very soon after the race. The local paper didn't even print full results the next day. I would have no idea yet as to my finish.
Anyway, there are always the free volunteer sports massages at the finish line if nothing else!
Here are my results. I cut out all the fast people in front of me. :)
