So, who got up at the crack of dawn today for a Turkey Trot run?
Thanksgiving 2009 was my 4th time doing the ARR's Thanksgiving Day Classic. Previous years have all been around 1hr20min for the 10 miler for me. The top three finishers in each age group win pies, which was my goal this year. Unfortunately, my 1hr15min time was insufficient for this. Looks like I need to post 60min or less to get a pie. Bah.
On the plus side, because I have an Arizona Road Racers membership, I got a 'free' 2010 Running Log/Calendar. Its pretty slick, its got every major 1M, 5K, 5M, 8K, 10M, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, and a few Ultras sorted by date, with contact information websites, pricing, etc. Very useful.
As a consolation prize, since I stayed behind to help out, I got a pie anyway from the Pie Fairy.
Unfortunately, I do not believe I will ever be fast enough to actually win a pie at this event.
Finished in 133rd place overall out of more than 500 people in the 10M, not too shabby compared to previous years.
Edit - Now that the official results are up, I need to revise my original statement about my performance. My time remains the same, however, I placed 135th places out of 683 participants, and 14th out of 28th in my age division.
