Seattle that day and after
Well the Seattle Marathon and half have come and gone for another year and thankfully the weather was about as good as you could expect. The group was extremely involved with the water stop, pacers and people running. We had about 80 people running with another 30 involved with pacing and who knows how many came and went handing out water. Thanks you all whether running the race or helping out. I must add that for many who ran on Sunday this was their first race of this kind, great job.
As is the case with this every year I tried taking pictures but didn't do a very good job. The location of the water stop isn't great for taking pictures. If you stand in front of the water stop the sun is in your face pretty much the whole day. This year I tried to stand behind it in the shade and up the hill a bit so that I could see down over the crowd but what I learned is that at the water stop people slow down to drink so they go from running single file which is helpful in locating people to all spread out and pretty much chaos as far as trying to see people for taking pictures sake. I think you can see what I'm talking about from the pictures I did post. Those are here
I did also post times for those I could find, those are here, and as you might have noticed Sunday night it was near impossible and then when I did look last night the times I had gotten on Sunday were changed. So I may have missed some (i'm pretty sure I did) please send them my way if I missed you and you want it added to my list. If I did miss you don't take it personally there are a lot of names in different races to sort though.
One helpful tool for me when it comes to looking for peoples results is the roster. Keeping your races up to date is very helpful for a lot of reasons but that is a big one. It gives me a central place to look for your names and races as it does for you. With the end of the year coming I'm going to go through and clean it up so now is a good time to go through and put your goals for next year in.
For those who ran Sunday and are coming out tonight or tomorrow night plan for somehting easy, you need a little recovery time.
To get your mid- workouts for this week just plug in your e-mail that you used for the roster and your workout for Tuesday or Wednesday night should come up. If not, check the e-mail you used or let me know and I'll see if I did something bad. For a complete list of the planned workouts click here.
