The expo Friday & Saturday was very windy, a sign of what Sunday's event would entail. The Pacer tent was positioned next to our PBRR tent which was nice, I tended to both most of each day with help on each side from club members and pacers. Sunday I arrived at 4:15 am to move … Continue reading Palm Beaches Marathon 2024

26.56 milesI came back to do the pacing duties at this race after several years of skipping it. The expo is a big deal - It's at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the proper place for this function. Parking was easy in the nearby garage for $2 per hour. My drive down to the Miami … Continue reading 2024 Miami Marathon
2023 Nuun Pace Team This year we knew ahead of time - despite the cooler weather in the days leading up to the Sunday morning race, that we'd be having a warm day. Temps were set to be in the mid 70s for the 6 am start and rise to 82 degrees by the time … Continue reading Palm Beaches Marathon 2023
Pacing for the 3:50 group this year... Year #14 of the race out of 15 previous years with #13 skipped due to change in ownership. I set up and worked at the Expo on Friday. It was small, but in a great location – right in the pavilion next to the start and finish line … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon 2018
I arrived mid-afternoon and went directly to the Expo for my one hour shift. Since the race this year was now two half marathons plus a full marathon, there were many more people in the Expo and in the surrounding parking lots. Crowded! I found my pacing shirt and stick easily, and began to speak … Continue reading Space Coast Half Marathon 2018
8mi. It's not often I'm first at Blue Heon Bridge, but however, the traffic lights aligned - I was alone at 4:46 am in the parking lot. I ran a warmup lap by myself. My car said 69 degrees, leaving my house the weather app said 64 degrees. This is common, it's warmer by the … Continue reading Breeze minus 10
We had great weather conditions for this event, we had 60 degrees at the start and 63 degrees at the finish line two hours later. The team dinner was good reconnecting with the group that comes to this race each year. Only Miami Marathon has more pacer people! My morning started early as I woke … Continue reading 2017 Space Coast Half Marathon
Our morning started out uneventful. The Hilton is a good place for us to stay, I was rooming with Jeff Zern from Arkansas. A few other pacers were waiting for us in the lobby, they knew I was local and could lead them to a good parking spot under the American Airlines Arena. Seriously, how … Continue reading 2017 Miami Marathon
5mi. I always run the final interval workout prior to a marathon at my own "stay in the middle of the group" pace. Today was in the 50s, good practice for what I could wear in Miami. I stayed in the middle, never ahead of Attila and never behind Perry. Lilia and a few others … Continue reading Aboard but on my own plan
A chilly start - but very successful day! My time was 3:49:34, very close to a perfect pacing day. Let's start with the expo... The expo was in a new location this year, Mana Wynwood, the artist's community of Miami. Parking wasn't difficult since I was on for the first shift. I'm glad I left … Continue reading Miami Marathon 2016
