Hello from New Hampshire. Just arrived at the Smuttynose half marathon in Hampton NH. Race starts at 10am, about one hour from now. Waiting for David to arrive. It’s brisk and breezy here, but looks super flat around here. Here’s hoping for a PR.
I’ve been up since 4:30am. Kids didn’t want to sleep last night so that’s not much fun. My wife stayed home with the kids in lieu of coming to the race. 2 hrs driving each way and three hrs hanging around Hampton probably not the most fun in the world. Though it won’t be easy staying home with two tired and grumpy children. I’m pretty sure I owe her one. Or two.
The walkers are about to start so I’ll go check out that exciting start. And maybe go change.
I’ll update later, hopefully not midrace. Read on for the exciting conclusion.

David and I (Patrik) are planning a century ride… my 2nd ever 100 mile effort, and David’s first. Tentatively we’re plannig to ride the TFCE route sometime next month (October 2009). The goal isn’t really to ride for 100 miles straight. It’s more of a … at our current fitness level, can we ride 100 miles without killing ourselves? I think the plan is to ride about 35-45 miles, have a meal, ride some more, have another meal and then ride some more. You know, since we’ll have to do that every day as we traverse the country, we should start practicing it.
