Who all is running BCS next month?

I'm in for my 3rd marathon. Training with two little kids at home has proven to be much harder than I envisioned. I won't PR but I just want to finish and enjoy.

In for the full - coming back for the mile 18 beast that got the better of me on West Campus last year

In for the full. This will be my 6th time to run it. I'm using it as a supported long training run.

I'm staying with my wife and kids in a hotel over behind the new Hopdoddy burger place. I'm going to leave my truck for them to have during the race. However that leaves me with no way to get to the race start in the morning. Does College Station have an uber type service that runs that early? Any suggestions?

CS has Uber. Have you checked about a hotel shuttle?

Are you staying at Cavalry Court? If so, there will be a ton of people (myself included) who will be making their way from the hotel to the race that morning. It being College Station, you are likely to be able to find just about anyone willing to give you a ride. I haven't used Uber in CS in a couple of years now, but it is definitely there and will be available, also. The drivers will probably be happy to pick up a sober adult instead of a drunk college kid, too.

We are staying at a place called The George.

Gotcha, The George and Cavalry Court are only a couple hundred feet apart and are the official hotel partners for the race. Both of them will be full of runners.

I don't mind giving you a ride so long as we can figure out timing and so long as you are cool with me not being much of a conversationalist on most race mornings. Shoot me an email, and we'll get it figured out.

Out due to injury. Starting to get annoyed with the time its taking, but hopefully I'll be back next year. Depending on work, I'd be interested in volunteering

Didn't want to start a new thread, but figured y'all might appreciate this

One week out!

Seems like the perfect time to start analyzing the hell out of the one thing that none of us can control - the weather. Looks like it is going to be a bit windy, but the temperature and precipitation project to be good to go.

T&P to the family, friends, and colleagues of tapering runners this week.

Yep, last night I started watching the weather on my phone for this race. Let's hope we have good weather!

Does the offer still stand for me to bum a ride from you to the rest start from the hotel? I'm flexible on when we'd leave. Earlier the better for me.

If not I might just bring my bike and ride from the hotel to the race start. I don't want to have to rely on an Uber that might not be running that early.

In for the half.
Had the crud and an on/off fever last week.
Still coughing crud up today.
Hopefully I won't be running a fever during the race like I did last year.
It can't be worse than my race last year, right?
Not ready, but whatevs.
Doing this on a prayer.

Rain has passed. About to do a little shakeout. Not looking forward to the cold tomorrow, but at least it will be clear!

3:01:11. The wind did not play fair. Pretty sure it changed directions during the race or the BCS area shifted of its axis with all the rain this week.

Walked the last 4 aid stations. Not sure if that hurt the time or not as the legs were getting tight and that might have been what helped me hold the pace.

Was right on pace for sub three at the half mark but the small sub three pack fell apart and it was hard to hold the pace.

Great job and congrats. That's smoking fast even if you didn't meet your goal.

3:29:56 - could not be more happy right now and not embarrassed to say there were some tears at the end of that one
