KrAzY Posted April 3, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2022 Go for it! Just don't do what I did on my last century.. I was passing people that were huffing and puffing going up a hill with a cigar in my mouth not even breathing hard.. I was puffing smoke like the little engine that could up that hill in Minnesota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted April 3, 2022 Share #10 Posted April 3, 2022 If the entry fee is reasonable compared to what you think your chances are - go for it! If it's not reasonable, but affordable, and the large purse means you'll meet some of the top people - go for it. When I was almost 17 in the summer of 1967, my high school track coach finagled to get me a membership in the "Baltimore Olympic Club" where he was a shotputter, and then as the BOC's runner in the mile run of the All Eastern Meet of the AAU held at Morgan State College - then one of the preliminary qualifiers for the 1968 U.S. Olympic Team. I think the Club picked up the entry fee and Coach picked up the Club membership fee. I walked up to the mile run starting line and there, next to me, I recognized Dave Patrick, then the world record holder for the half mile run. I then realized the really tall guy in the line, about 6'6", was Charlie Messenger, Patrick's acclaimed teammate on the National Cross Country Champion Villanova College Team. I got to talk to them for a couple minutes as we stretched and jogged near the starting line to loosen up before the start of the race. I will never forget it - talking to them as a fellow runner, not just a fan! I was on the other side of the quarter mile track when I watched Patrick edge Messenger across the finish line, and I only finished 12th out of 14, but it was my fastest mile, 4 minutes, 45 seconds, and a great day in my life! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post az_cyclist Posted April 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share #12 Posted April 8, 2022 Update! I decided to do the ride. I will be leaving for Tucson this afternoon. Should be a scenic ride, but will be warm and windy in the afternoon. Most of the elevation gain is in the first 60 miles, so, with a 6:00 am start I should get that done while it is cooler. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
