Talladega Half Marathon
September 16, 2012
You might want to put this race on your radar for next fall. Chuck Rainbow ran it and found it to be a delightful small race. There were between 800-900 runners. The route was on and around the track. Very well supported. Enough water and Gatorade was available on the course as well as GU. It was a very fast field. At 2:02:00, Chuck was 300 in the entire field, 17/45 for his age group. It was one of the best post race experiences: They had Nick ‘N Jim’s with a couple of choices of the sandwich. Lots of free beer. But the best part is they printed out your results shortly after you finished the race. It was on a sticky name badge that you could paste on the back of your bib. A third party had set up a tent on curve two and was handing out small cups of beer. Rather humorous.
The night before they had a dinner for a small charge. Bill Rodgers was there. Chuck got really lucky and he sat down at the table Chuck was at and chatted for about an hour and a half. What a great guy. Bill is still fast. He won the Masters with a 1:40 something.

Chattahoochee Challenge 10k
February 7, 2009 In his 3rd year for this logistically challenging race (parking over a mile away), but fun course to run, Dennis Kelly started out on the front line. The 5th mile was mentally tough for him because he knew me had to reach the mile 5 marker in under 32 minutes to have a good chance of breaking 40 minutes. At mile 5 in 31:27 he knew he had some time to spare if he wanted to slow a little. Plus mile 6 would be slower with the two hills to climb. Dennis was following the Garmin distance reading in the last half mile, but when it hit 6 miles he realized that he was much further than 0.2 from the finish line. Luckily he didn't slow too much and still reached the finish line in under 40 minutes. Final time was 39:35 for a PR. Mile splits are 6:00, 6:07, 6:20, 6:22, 6:38, and 6:46. However, several other runners also measured the course at 6.34 miles. Dennis’ adjusted time is 38:35, a 613 pace.
Holly Donaldson was also at the Challenge in 58.28. Her 1st mile was a bear trying to get thru the crowd. So much more than last time. Her splits were 10.02, 9.20, 9.05, 9.07, 9.09, 9.46, and 1.54. Holly was shooting for a 56/57 considering she has been on sabbatical in Dec and Jan. She was a little shocked because she thought she hit it right up to the end. Well, 3 guys behind her with Garmins were debating the course and 2 clocked it at 6.35m. Her adjusted time is 57:00, a 912 pace.
Joe Dollar was also at the race and warmed up with Dennis. Joe finished in a respectable 43:26, with an adjust time of 42:41 a 649 pace.

Bill Leahy ran this theme park race in 2:28:06
Cori and Rebecca at the Red Nose Run 10 Miler Jan 10, 2009. Birmhingham, Al.
It was cool and rainy. Rebecca and I went out on 9:15's. The start was slow and uphill the first 3 miles. We got to mile 3 around 28 minutes...so we averaged closer to 10's. My hip started bothering me really bad at mile 3.5 and Rebeccas slowed down with me to 10:20's. At mile 4.5, we stopped so I could do some stretching. I had a lot of pain until mile 7, and then the last 3 miles were decent. Rebecca didn't run ahead of me at all, but I could tell she was itching to go and at mile 8, I told her to take off and try to pass as many people as she could. We were originally running for a sub 1:30, but my hip issues prevented me from doing that. And Rebecca is so nice....she didn't leave me in her dust. My watch time was 1:39:02. So if you take off the 2 minute stop, that isn't too shabby considering my aches and pains. Rebecca's time was 1:37:42. She gained 1.5 minutes on me during the last 2 miles. That chick is getting fast! She's been training at 9-9:20's!
2nd annual Mississippi Blues Half Marathon, Jackson, MS, Jan 3, 2009 I decided to go for it and run simply to complete it. I got to mile 10 around 1:35, and I was hoping for a strong finish, but my sore hip slowed me down. I wound up having to walk the rest of the way. :( Oh well! I still got a medal! Here are my results: Cori Watts 2:23:10.
Dave Johnson 1:57:06
The course was HILLY, and the weather was HOT -- 94% humidity and 65 degrees at the start of the race. Not very ideal conditions. But the town support was AWESOME, the volunteers were great, and the food/drink was plentiful at the end. My only complaint was there weren't enough port-o-potties on the course. Overall - I'd give the event a 95/100!

After a quick run through Queens, the long ramp up the 59th St bridge is like hitting the first wall of the marathon, however, on the downhill section of the bridge Holly turned out an 840 mile into Manhattan. At the 'Wall" around the Bronx, mile 20 the point; at which the body reaches its limit, Holly slowed down a bit; 3:27:34 for 20 miles, but recovered nicely in Central Park and turning out a 10:53 and 10:09 in the last two miles to finish in 4:36:01.
