Christopher Daily 5K Turkey Trot (2011)
The final race in my series of 10 (now 11 actually) to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was the Christopher Daily Turkey Trot. This is a 5K race in Saratoga Springs NY, near where my parents live and this is the third year my family has participated in the race. It was not … Continue reading
Remission Rocks – 5K
For event #9 of 10 to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I ran a 5K charity that benefits the LLS through Team in Training. How meta is that? My friend Brad from the VineTeam put on this short trail race as part of his fundraising for IronMan New Zealand in 2012 (he’s raising … Continue reading
Goleta Beach Duathlon
Originally, the Goleta Beach Triathlon was supposed to be a 1/2 IronMan distance and I was signed up for it, knowing full well that it was only two weeks after a the Vineman 1/2 IronMan. When the race director announced that they couldn’t get the permits for the longer distance and had to limit the … Continue reading
Scripps Ranch 4 Miler
Scripps Ranch was celebrating it’s 40th anniversary by putting on a 4-mile road race. This is kind of a unique distance and since I had been training for a 10K and 5K recently, I figured a 4 miler would be a pretty good distance to try out. Come racing morning though, I just didn’t feel … Continue reading
Christopher Daily Turkey Trot (5K)
Last year, I ran this same race at the end of a tough season that had really taken a toll on me. Surprisingly, I ended up taking third in my age group, but didn’t even realize it until I was back in California. This year, since I had recently been doing a lot of speed … Continue reading
Miramar MCAS Monster Dash (10K)
Being more of an endurance guy, I never really train for shorter distances (e.g. 10K), instead I end up running them as part of training for marathons or as the run leg of triathlons. Maybe I’ve lead on about this already, but if not, in the last year I’ve been consumed by the fear of … Continue reading
Reef and Run
On Tuesday nights in the summer at East Beach is another multisport event called Reef and Run. Similar to Nite Moves, you can do a swim, a run or an aquathlon. It’s a little different though in that there are multiple distances for the swim (1 K or 1 mile) and run (2 or 4 … Continue reading
R.U.T.E. 2010
Spring is the time of year for R.U.T.E. (Are You Tough Enough), a 65 mile, 5-person relay through Santa Barbara county. You pile 5 people in a 4WD car and drive the whole course while one person is running each leg. No aid stations, no race bibs, no officials. This was my third time racing … Continue reading
Saratoga Turkey Trot (5K)
The wife and I headed back east to “The Spa” (Ballston Spa) for Thanksgiving. Given my penchant for racing in new places, I got the whole family signed up for the Saratoga Turkey Trot. This is a 5K put on by the Christopher Dailey Foundation, which raises money to support youth recreation in the Saratoga … Continue reading
Lake Merritt – 6 hr run
Pacific Coast Trail Runs puts on a lot of really good races that cover distances from 10K to 50K usually. They also have a couple of timed events, of which the Lake Merritt half-day is one. For this event, there is a six hour and a twelve hour event. Both involve running around Lake Merritt … Continue reading
