After speaking with a few people, one of the organizers then tells me he heard that there was indeed a foot race somewhere else in the park. I jump in the car and start driving around the small roads, but I can't find any other race. I finally stop a park employee and he tells me the XTERRA race is TOMORROW!
I haven't raced a non-ultra race in over 2 years, and ultras are ALWAYS on Saturday, so the concept of a Sunday race never even crossed my mind. Who wants to race on Sunday anyway? Isn't there a football game or something tomorrow?
Anyway, I thought about looking for an IMAX theater to see Sanctum but the reviews are so bad I decided not to do it. I could have run there, but I didn't have a trail map. I drove back on the scenic route, nearly shit my pants driving on the side of a cliff and got back home in about 4 hours.
Fuck it, I'm going

OMG, I feel bad laughing so hard because that totally sucks!! You have to admit it makes a very funny story though.
I love it. Nice to know I am not the only moron. I went to a race and was so busy running my strides back and forth that I didn't realize my race had already started. I then noticed that the timer was ticking away at the finish line and realized that the timed race had a earlier start then the charity walk/run. So everyone around thought I was running strides for the Charity walk/run...what a loser!
Oh man. That is too funny! Sorry.
Soooooo........ya gonna race on Sunday??
Thanks, EJ for making me look like one of the gang...
Yes, I'm getting up at 4 AGAIN tomorrow. Won't be too hard because before going out for my run, I had lunch and then fell asleep in the garden so I never made it out. I decided to taper this afternoon.
haha, that's awesome!! I hope your race went well this morning. :)
LOL
clearly our bouts of drinking together has caused some long term issues. HA!!
At least you got in a decent nap
