will I have the urge to race a marathon

Once in a lifetime is enough for me. I'll stick to racing my bike instead! Ran the Long Beach Marathon with Man blong Gaua (Dan) in 4:55. It was a great day and a great venue. Anyone else out there run?

congrats on finishing the marathon. I was suppose to run it with my bro-n-law [he finished 3:41] but got injured so I ended up doing the bike tour. still had a good time.

I run as part of my cycling training. I don't really enjoy it, but it really does work your legs like crazy.

Congrats on finishing.

Way to go SDyeti. Awesome. Huge kudo's to you.

I used to do the marathons, but it took to much away from biking and I always missed the weekends when all my buds would be out on the trails and I' d be stuck doing my training. Sometimes I do miss it though.

Didn't help with my cycling at all, in fact I got faster when I quit running..

Congrats on finishing your marathon!

I used to run marathons. It just becomes too much running after awhile, and like Mike said it cuts into riding time on the weekends with friends. I run 1/2 marathons still and find the training doesn't cut into riding.

Wrecker · 10-14-2007, 08:33 PM

Congrats on completing the marathon, and it sounds like a great time to me.

The closest I've come to doing one is listening to a co-worker talk about her training.

I'll bow at your feet the next time I see you

ezzyride · 10-14-2007, 09:40 PM

Congrats!

It takes alot of discipline and effort.

Good for you!

I did the mud run once and then that was it no running for me.

genusmtbkr5 · 10-15-2007, 02:36 AM

I was there(in the Switchback jersey), but I did it in 1 hr 17 min..., on a bike. I saw Chris aka "CeeDubb"(bike tour in AFP jersey) and Mike aka "Dismay"(full marathon) there as well.

Yesterday was my first marathon - an off-the couch commitment made after a few too many beers at Cooks...

I just bought running shoes on Wednesday!

It was cool running in to Gene and his buddy, wish I'd known some others were running, too.
4:27 baby!

And much congrats to everyone who made it through.

Great job, Dismay! You killed it!

Feels good to be done, huh?

I agree...half marathons are much more fun! I will stick to those if I feel the urge to run long distance again

Congrats on the finish. I have NO desire to run a marathon but have done 2 halfs. We are starting training again next week for Surf City Half. That's as far as my little legs will go.
Hats off to you for your accomplishment!

I think once will be enough for me too, I just want to prove to myself I can do it.

Go for it! Definitely worth doing (once...)

A budy had signed up for this where I was signed up for the CORBA fat tire fest, he buddy broke his shoulder early in the week so I pulled wing man duties and knocked it out on my mtn bike! It was longer than the LA bike tour, pretty flat though which was good.
