Rhett's 2020 Adventures: The Lost Year?

04/08/2020

With Mountains 2 Beach marathon cancelled (was to be Memorial Day weekend) and uncertainty surrounding Ironman events later this year, I have been struggling with motivation to get out and run or bike (swimming is pretty much off limits, even in open water). I need to reset and get back in gear -- I need to destress in general, but especially so I can go back to sleeping through the night!

So this is from the finish line on Sunday. Good thing I’m so stoic, or you might be able to tell how uncomfortable I was feeling. (In the first photo I’m the one wearing the hat . . . .)

I try not to take this personally, but my Garmin is a cruel taskmaster . . . .

Golden Demons Class of 78 finishes the California International Marathon! Tough run for sure, but Dean Galland and David Williams and I got ‘er done. And Dean set a PR and cracked 4 hours!

I have a rule against speaking to media, but if I could give an interview like this one, I would do it every single day. . . .

My Garmin is a total jerk . . . .

Denied by the fire in Geyserville last week, Tony and I ran the unofficial Occasional Walnut Creek Wannabe Wine Country Half Marathon today. We might be getting too old for this nonsense . . . !

Rode from Deadwood to Hill City today, about 50 miles and 3000 ft of elevation gain. Incredibly beautiful ride — great weather, hard to describe the natural splendor though. Looks like cold and rain tomorrow and Saturday, which might scuttle the remainder of our plan to finish off the Mickelson Trail (109 total miles from Deadwood to Edgemont). Even so, we’ll still have today.

I’m a little worried about making it to the bike . . . .

More evidence that it's never too late. . . .

People who start running competitively in their 50s can become as swift and well-muscled as older runners who have trained lifelong.
