You may have already seen it, but Disney opened a Star Wars virtual race if you want the Kessel challenge medal to pair with the April race...if you're into those kind of things and giving Disney more money!

This sounds awesome. We'll expect pics and a full report.wangus12 said:
Adding Midnight Sun Half Marathon in Iceland in June
Me neither. I'll go run 13 miles for a long weekend run, but I'm not gonna pay for it. I'm not paying for the medal. I'm paying for the experience when it comes to races.JoeOlson said:
Thanks for the heads up! It's kind of funny, but I just can't get into the idea of a virtual race. I actually enjoy the stress of race day
I never sign up for a race just as a training day. Why pay $$$ just to train?wangus12 said:
Why I try to avoid running a race as a training day. I'll have every intention in the world to take it slow, but the moment I toe the line, my competitiveness takes over and I go balls to the wall.

The Heavy Half is on my bucket list. Had planned to do it last year, but we ended up moving back to Texas.mtnrunner said:
Coming off of an injury, I'm running a few half marathons before working back to ultras.
Mt Evans Ascent (June, road)
Leadville Heavy Half (June, trail)
Barr Trail Mountain Race (July, trail)
Pikes Peak Ascent (August, trail)
Any other Ags running any of these?
Old mining roads, loose scree, congestion on the narrow trails up on the mountain vs Iceland? Sounds like you had an easy choice provided you are getting in some running there.wangus12 said:
Was planning on running the Heavy Half this year, but we're running in Iceland instead. I'll call it an even trade from that to running at sea level
If you end up running it, LMK. I'll proudly be wearing my A&M cap there so I shouldn't be hard to find.Quote:
I did the Heavy Half a couple years ago on a whim with no real training and it absolutely killed me.
Was not prepared for the rocky up and down at the top and was not confident at all on it. Also, was not prepared for the heat that day and used water to douse myself and took away from my hydration.
I may do it again this year but it's close to another marathon and not sure I want to risk getting hurt on the rocks.
