AM - 4.4 miles, horsepark loop w/ Andrea. I put tracking / webcast info on Wasatch & Beyond.

PM - 4 miles. Around SHP and then 4 x 400m @ race pace (74s). If you just think of a half-marathon as 52x400m w/ zero rest, its a piece of cake, right? :-) 

Fantastic discovery on Google Maps last night - our hotel in Duluth is approximately 600 feet from Dairy Queen. The race organizers really knew what they were doing when it comes to setting us up in a hotel with everything we need (ie. ice cream nearby)...

There is a 1/2 marathon two weeks before the BCC marathon!

Perfect tuneup and cooldown for/after TOU! :-)

Don't forget the fried cheese curds. But I wouldn't eat them before the race!!!

From Jake K on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 10:50:18 from 155.100.226.54

Would you recommend them as a "10 mile mark energy booster"?

From allie on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 10:51:08 from 161.38.218.168

there was a time last summer when the number of new races popping up went from "too many" to "comical". the comical has now become cannibal. i can't see how all of these races can be adequately supported . maybe i just don't realize the size of the running market around here, but this seems waaay excessive.

anyway, i'm dragging your blog off topic. sorry. go duluth!

From Lulu Walls on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 10:56:55 from 155.100.212.98

Not recommended at 10-miles. Cheese curds are the sole reason that most people from Wisconsin look like this...

I think the whole "Bring Back The Mile" campaign is actually gaining a lot of steam just as an unconscious reaction to all the obstacle course events and ridiculous amount of HMs/Marathons. People tend to gravitate towards the absolute extremes with everything, especially in a sport like running where most of us are borderline lunatics to begin with.

I'd be very happy if there was a rule that for every new race longer than 13 miles, there also had to be a new race 10K or shorter created. That would balance things out nicely!

Best of luck tomorrow!

Whats wrong with tons of races!? I mean shouldn't a 3:05 be good enough to win a marathon? ;) Good luck this weekend Jake, you will do great!

Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat. I know you guys will do well anyway. Lots of downhill that last mile. Use it!

Oh, there's a DQ about every 1/4 mile in Minnesota.
