Title: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Nathan Bundy on January 05, 2009, 05:29:03 pm I was thinking of running the half marathon course on Saturday the 10th.
Anyone interested in joining? Maybe the running club here in St. George would like to meet there and do that this Saturday? Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Dave Holt on January 06, 2009, 11:18:46 am I'll jump in with you Nate - James probably wouldn't mind either. Time? 7:00 AM?
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Nathan Bundy on January 07, 2009, 06:11:23 am 7 sounds great
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Superfly on January 07, 2009, 09:31:07 am Oh for the good ol' days of planning a run. One of these days I'll be able to go out and run again, maybe. I feel like I'm going to die an old man with a sore left hamstring.
Anyways it sounds fun! But cold too- down by the river (7 a.m) burr! Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Marion McClellan on January 07, 2009, 03:37:08 pm Hey- for those of us coming in for Painters 1/2- what kind of temps can we expect? Any ideas?
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Scott Hughes on January 07, 2009, 04:32:32 pm You may want to talk to Steve @ St. George Running Center. We were talking about running this saturday as well. I know I was hoping for something a little later..more like 8:00 or 9:00. The race begins @ 9:00.......I am hoping to do the run. I messed up my calf yesterday running the course and had to bail out after 11.00 miles. I am hoping it is feeling better so that I can have a good go at it on Saturday!
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Marion McClellan on January 07, 2009, 04:36:04 pm Sorry about the calf :(. I will call Steve, say like next Thursday to get an idea of the probable temp for the race. See you there.
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Scott Hughes on January 08, 2009, 09:15:15 am Temperature for the race. Based on today, the high is supposed to be around 50-52. The average temp this time of year is 55. At 9:00am this morning the temp was 28 and sunny. I would be hoping for a little warmer than that for the race!
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Marion McClellan on January 08, 2009, 09:20:49 am Thanks Scott! Please post again next week if you can :) THANKS!!!!
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Nathan Bundy on January 08, 2009, 09:34:53 am 7 am was Dave's idea, so blame him on the starting time. Maybe we could do 8 and compromise? I think 9 am is just too late for me. Got a lot to get done on Saturday. We could do more than one group as well. Could do a 7, 8 and 9 group...
Maybe if we all post on our blogs then the word will get out a bit quicker... Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Logan Fielding on January 09, 2009, 12:10:46 am I am willing to come over and carry water and gels in a backpack while I ride my bike since I am out of commission for running for at least the next little while. Let me know what time you guys would need me.
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Dave Holt on January 09, 2009, 07:45:01 am Log, your more than welcome to come and do a little x-training. Maybe Clydie will be up for a ride too.
I would like to still stick with 7:00 just to get it done, but if others are up for a different time go with it...! Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Superfly on January 09, 2009, 08:50:26 am I could do that too... figure out what time your going for sure and I'll see if I can be there.
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Scott Hughes on January 09, 2009, 03:35:24 pm Hey guys. I just stopped by and talked with Steve. He said that he has a group going out to run the course @ 8:00am. It sounded like around 6 or so were going to go out @ 8......for whatever it is worth. ;D
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Logan Fielding on January 09, 2009, 04:26:39 pm I will be there at 7am primed and ready to go for a nice fun bike ride while I watch people not injured enjoy the run on a beautful Saturday morning. I am not bitter :) Seriously, I will be there!
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Superfly on January 09, 2009, 06:37:44 pm See you at 7
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Nathan Bundy on January 09, 2009, 08:54:40 pm I'll be there... and I'll ride your bike the last 2 miles so you can run... ok, not really, but it will be good to have you and logan along to make us remember how much easier riding the bike would be!
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Dave Holt on January 10, 2009, 03:06:48 pm Weather update for you interested folks...
This morning as we finished our run on the Painter's course (finishing at 9:00AM - race start time), it was a balmy 28 degrees. Actually pretty nice. The river always makes it a little colder than the predicted temp so plan for that. And it has warmed up nicely throughout the day. Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Michelle Lowry on January 11, 2009, 09:06:07 am Marion - Last year I brought lots of types of clothes because for a race, a couple of degrees can change what you want to wear. The decision came down to the last couple of minutes before jumping in the car, and if in doubt, bring options in the car so you can change your mind after warming up. Some people ended up wearing shorts, some pants, I wore my thinnest (also geekiest and now thrown away) tights under shorts, one long sleeve and gloves, which I tossed at 6 miles
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Superfly on January 11, 2009, 01:21:37 pm It will also be warmer this coming Saturday than yesterday. The temps next week look really nice.
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Scott Hughes on January 16, 2009, 09:01:56 am Marion,
Today, Friday it is 34 @ 9am the high is supposed to be 58 today and Saturday. It is projected to be 44 @ 11am I would mention that at the start it could be a bit cooler than 34 because it is close to the river and that ussually drops a few degrees. As you head out the sun will be at your back and right side. After a little over a mile you turn and get sun more on your front and side for a 1/2 mile or so then another 1/4 at your back. After that the course seems to warm up. There is a spot aroun mile 5-6 that you will hit some shade and it gets cooler but that is only 1/4 or so mile long. I ran the that first 6 miles of the course yesterday it was very pleasant, just a little cool to start off but not bad and this morning it is about 3 degrees warmer than it was yesterday at this time. Good luck to you in the race! Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Craig Green on January 18, 2009, 12:19:23 pm I'm looking for results posted online, but I can only find last year's results on runnercard. Does anyone know where the online results are located?
Title: Re: Painters Half Marathon course practice Post by: Scott Hughes on January 18, 2009, 03:40:39 pm I have been looking as well and can't find them.
