chirp Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Howdy! Is anyone planning on doing the Pacific Rim Half Marathon on August 7th? I will be and was just checking to see if anyone else is. It does the 5 mile drive at Point Defiance and then heads down to the waterfront. A darned scenic route! I'm NO speed demon but prob will be slugging it out at about a 9 min mile...basically looking for a chill run. Drop me a PM or a post if yer interested in hooking up for it! PacRim Quote
minx Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 not running it this year but i have in the past. it's super fun. enjoy! hope you have a good race Quote
chirp Posted July 24, 2004 Author Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks Minx! My first one so it ought to be exciting! Gunning for the Seattle full in November, fingers crossed. Quote
MervGriffin Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 Chirpster! I've done it a couple of times and it's great. After the Park, you do a lot of running along the Ruston Way waterfront before doubling back and returning to Pt. Defiance. The "crux" is running up-hill through the tunnel and beyond around Mile 12. The T-shirts are cool and you'll probably see some outstanding Russian runners and other real speedsters. I'd join you for sure but I'll be away. Good luck!!! Quote
chirp Posted July 24, 2004 Author Posted July 24, 2004 Woot! Thanks Merv! Im stoked, I did the StN for the first time and had a blast. I just hope the body dont let me down. Your words are power and incentive! Quote
