Good (Almost) Team Run

Unfortunately Mr. Jared Stitz couldn't make the run on Sunday, but oh what a run it was.  Although we didn't get an accurate Garmin pace, it took us over an hour to complete the 6 mile run.  Not to mention the exhaustion push-ups we cranked out half-way through.  Good work gents.

Thanks to Denny and Dave for coming down to my neck of the woods.  From our conversation, it sounded like at least one more team workout/run will be possible in November before the event.  I have a 10 mile run on my training calendar scheduled for the weekend of November 19th.  Any takers?  We can replicate our run from Sunday and extend it out into Key Biscayne a bit more, or we can continue down Bayshore Drive into the Grove.  So, a few options.

A couple of other points to discuss are what we are doing regarding transportation / accommodations.  Denny, I'm guessing you will probably drive from your place the morning of.  I think Jared and I will have to find someplace to spend the night up in Tampa.  Dave, you're welcome to join although I know you've crashed at Denny's before so perhaps that's an option.  Second point is regarding team attire.  Something simple like all of us wearing the same Under Armor shirt.  There are some older posts on this blog if you go back to the very beginning of it (before Dave or Jared joined the blog) where Denny and I were posting ideas on gear.  I'll try and repost those this weekend.

Also, some other things to think about with respect to gear are gloves (see older posts since Denny and I did a good amount of research into gear early on) and whether we want to carry camel packs.  I already bought the gloves I'm going to use for the event and I was reading on Facebook that there are limited water stations throughout the course, so many people carry camel packs with water, gel packs, etc.

Please post comments or thoughts.

TM!

  1. I've probably got space for one, so dave is more than welcome to stay over the night before... dont think there will be much sleep the night before the big event, but at least its a place to crash.

    Im down for the team shirts. Personally, i like the long sleeve, pompas into the short sleeve. What do you guys think?

    Gloves I would say are def a must. Thinking about going harbinger workout gloves with the finger tips cutout.

    Not sure if im gonna go with the camel pack, but Max and i bought some Gu packs and they were like 1.40 each.
