Hahaha...if only I want to place that badly.<BR/><BR/>That's really okay.

The top, top runners (of which you are in the vicinty) avoid these races.<BR/><BR/>My wife told me there were 3 camera carts at Boston. (1) For the top femail finisher (2) For the top male finisher and (3) For Lance.<BR/><BR/>I like Lance and the publicity he brings to the sport but, honestly, he finished 496th.Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-66131664775869598922008-04-27T22:41:00.000-04:002008-04-27T22:41:00.000-04:00Get away from the NYRR races if you want to place!...Get away from the NYRR races if you want to place!

I've gotten a few age group awards and even won my age group once using this tactic, all with not-so-fast times. I hope to return to a really small 5K I did last year in which I placed second in my AG and this year I want to win my AG. I'm way faster now. It is easy for me to find small races because I don't live in a big city. Might be a little harder in NYC; the potential pool of participants is much bigger.Sun Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971351872301112088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-1115059927165019562008-04-27T16:05:00.000-04:002008-04-27T16:05:00.000-04:00Woo hoo!!
