I'm still considering running.  A half marathon seems pretty scary to me.  But I agree with Karen it's awesome to see so many TRIDEXXers on the roster!

Hi Paula, glad to have you join us!  Welcome to the group and we'll look forward to seeing you out there!  


Kristen, have you thought more about this?   It may be intimidating, but with all of us signed up and able to support each other during training and on race day there may not be a better time to tackle this distance!  

There's also the "bosom buddy relay" option if you or anyone else just wants to run the quarter (half of the half, haha) with another person.

how is the running going?  We've had a great fall to get a good base going.

Everyone, I renamed and edited this thread so it is more clear that this will be where we discuss the Maine Coast Half.

OK - I was dragging my feet on registering for this one because I am also doing the Trek Across Maine just a few weeks afterward (which requires a fair amount of time in the saddle for prep) but I bit the bullet and officially registered today!  There are limited spots left and registration fees increase tomorrow!

Event is just under 13 weeks away.  I am using a Hal Higdon training plan but I am also sure the IDEXX gym can set you up with a training plan as well. 13 miles in 13 works prep time?  No problem!  Are there any other late joiners out there?

Copying this update here from Karen (note images didn't paste over): --Brian

OMG…..it’s time!!!!  Is everyone ready to run 13.1 this Saturday?  Race starts at 8:00 am, so I plan to be there around 6:45.  Mainly to get a decent parking spot and to get a little pre-run in.  I’m missing a lot of people that signed up….I cannot find my list…I’m guessing I have it at home.  Please forward this to anyone that you know of that will be running this race.

I plan to wear my Tridexx shirt, unless it calls for rain, then I’ll be wearing something more form fitting.

 

Bib Pickups:

Preregistered runners may pick up their registration materials and merchandise for themselves only. For security reasons each person must pick up their own bib.   ID must be presented in order to receive a beer garden bracelet.

Friday, May 13th, 2016 – Finish Area Tents at UNE

  • 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm
  • In conjunction with the Health & Fitness Exposition

Saturday, May 14th, 2016 — Finish Area Tents at UNE

  • 6:00 am to 7:45 am

I’d like to get a group picture, if at all possible….I’m thinking around 7:15, we could meet, I’m just not sure of where….I will bring our TRIDEXX swooper flag, so be on the lookout.

 

Weather forecast, as of today:


 

It is looking better every day!!!!  Temps in the mid 50’s!!

 

Drink lots of water this week,

Looking forward to the race, but somehow I managed to get a blister on my toe during my run yesterday from my new shoes!  Arrggh!  :) :)
Weather looks like it will be beautiful!  Sunny and mid 60-65F!

See everyone in the morning!

Great race everyone!!   Once again it was so much more fun to have such a big group out there together and the high-fives on the course gave such a boost!!    

It was hard to find, but I finally found the one early morning one of Karen, Theresa, Scott and me in front of the swooper:
