I'm starting to really think about it now. To go along with the rigid s/s I'm running it bare foot.

Trail running is a whole different ball game. I'll be there to prove that 1-24 group is weakest false... at least for the running part.

Most of my running is done at holmdel park, while not crazy, is a decent place to run for a good hilly 3 mile XC course. I still have doubts, everything I've ever competed in or looked up results for (nothing pro obviously)....the twenty something crowd gets blown out a majority of the time heh.

This has always been a pricey race, but this year it went up a bit. $60 -- and that doesn't include the sweatshirt. ($75 if you want it.)
I want to do the race, but come on. Even given the stuff they give away at the end, that's too much for a simple duathlon at Lewis Morris. Who wants to set up our own duathlon at Ringwood? $2 entry fee to cover trail markers, one open class, no prizes?

I'm already in. Gotta get the sweatshirt! Have to be honest, this race is just brutal. Miles of true trail running, plus 2 laps in lm. The beer afterwards is good, nice swag he throws out at the crowd too which is pretty funny. Did I mention the beer is decent and you get a decent sweatshirt outta this? 1/2 the people there are hungover from Sat. night (I will be). I think this is the first year its not on Daylight Savings so the hole gain an hour of sleep isnt a factor which kind of sucks. Good crowd overall. The best was the fight they had 2 years ago. Some guy who I think won cheated or was accused of it. Lol.

Why the hell would I want to get off a perfecly good bike to run??? :drooling:
:drooling:
Do it
This weekend, I decided to run the course and was feeling Ok. I was just about done with the first run and coming down the hill toward the stream and totally wiped out. I took about three giant steps without any traction at all and rolled over the gravelly rocks. This is without even getting on the bike. I fell on both hands, my left arm, my left leg, and my left shoulder. All scraped up, bloody, and I lost my watch. I got up and ran/limped to my car. I pulled out the bike and grinded out two laps. I could feel the palm of my hand sticking to the inside of the glove with some hemoglobin. Apparently I also pulled a muscle or something in my chest because deep breaths hurt a bit.
I Love the Mountain Man, sucking chest wound and all.

Dan, I actually wasn't worried until I read this!
I once read a great article about triatholon racing and this guy had this great quote. He said something like you reach an age where you feel like you need more of a challenge, other forms to truly push yourself, and where else could you be so economical as to suck at 3 different sports in one event!...
Kind of my approach for this.
Rob, I just thought it was funny that I got all smacked up without even getting on my bike. Lewis Morris is not a real extreme place to ride (or run). Of course the last time I wiped out on my bike was in my driveway. This is a really fun event, and most people seem to approach it with a casual, fun attitude. Not scary.
