2016/03/14 - Shamrock Marathon, Pikes Peak Cycling Hill Climb

Exactly 35 years ago today, my good friend George and I ran the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach, VA.

This was my second of five marathons, and proved to be my fastest time: 3:32:41.

In retrospect, this was the height of my 13 years of running races. I never again trained as hard as I did for this marathon and my next three finish times showed it.

I just signed up for the Pikes Peak Cycling Hill Climb Gran Fondo. The ride to the top is 12.42 miles with 4,725 ft elevation gain. Now all members of the Badass Redneck Cycle Club (Mike & myself) are registered. Let the training begin!
