Looks like an excellent year. I’m doing the Polar Dash 1/2 this Saturday but that seems to be the only overlap our schedules have. Love the Flying Pig though — if you haven’t done that one before, get pumped.
Were you way pissed about the Polar Dash being postponed? Adrea was supposed to come in from Cincinnati for it (the long weekend made it optimal), but now she can’t make it. Oh well, at least she’ll still get the fleece, right?
I was definitely miffed, but it wasn’t the end of my world. Since I’m a 10-minute train ride away from the start, it just meant I had to rearrange my training schedule a bit. I do feel for the out-of-towners though, as I’m one who sometimes travels solely for racing purposes. Good luck this Saturday!
