certainly appreciate people’s support.So today I received a letter from Jerry Dunn, the race director of the Lean Horse Hundred and Half-Hundred. Inside was a note from him letting me know that I had been randomly selected for a one-year subscription to
Trail Runner magazine! How cool is that! I didn’t even know there was a pre-race prize drawing. The race doesn’t even take place until August 23rd and I’ve already given them my money so it’s not like they have to win me over to anything. What could this be, a race just doing things for the athletes who have registered with them because…why? Maybe because they feel a sense of kinship with their athletes, a kind of “These are our athletes for this year so let’s get this party started.”I had a similar experience with the Oklahoma City Redman Iron-distance triathlon and the Silverman Iron-distance triathlon. These grass roots race organizations are just great!
Maybe you should consider joining me at one.
If all I had to do to get a magaazine subscription was run 100 miles....well mate I think I'll just cough up the cash LOL
ReplyDeleteNo, really, that's lovely :)Next summer I'm going to venture further afield for my races.
That same thing happend to me at...um....well - have a great lean horse. And sorry for experience last race.
ReplyDeletethat is really cool-you desreve it brian!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a case of South Dakota hospitality...you should remember it...or have you been gone too long?
ReplyDeleteYou are a blog SUPERSTAR!
ReplyDeleteIt is like Prada giving Paris Hilton a free pair of shoes, just to be seen wearing them.
Face it, soon you will have blog paparazzi following you and catching you in embarrassing situations with your Zipps, or Desoto, or Litespeed (any brand here).
Just don't get to the point where you are like a race car driver and bring up the name of every single sponsor in every conversation.
Alright already!
ReplyDeleteI'll join you on a race! Sheesh, the constant badgering wasn't enough now you posted it out there for everyone.
Man! Talk about embarrassing.
:)
So....how about Silverman??
I actually like the magazine, and you get a digital version as well.. Pretty cool I think..
ReplyDeleteSo you adding more Iron-distance stuff to the list??
I love these smaller grassroots type of races too. Redman is in my future. Congrats on your prize and, FWIW, you gave it your best shot at your last race and that's all you can do. Best of luck at Lean Horse!
