As am I this year...I did the first half in 2 hours and 15 min last year, but that is at a pace where I knew I had another 13.1 miles to go.

Rock and Roll series races spoil you as a runner. Are you going to the speghetti dinner the night before?

didn't run today, but I did some serious non impact cardio. 1000 ft on the versa climber, 1000 ft on Jacob's ladder and a 5000m row on the rower. Sweat my butt off.

yeah, when you do the 1000 ft on the versa climber first, it really kills you on Jacobs Ladder.

I have no doubt in that. I don't know if anyone watched/watches Biggest Loser, but one of the challenges was to climb 5 miles on Jacobs Ladder!! That's hard core right there.

geesh, that would take me forever, and according to the Army, I'm at least somewhat fit.

I can't remember how long it took the winner but those guys were troopers and all three of the contestants finished the challege. For some reason I want to say it took over an hour but I am not sure

I'd imagine it would take them nearly an hour to run it...this seems much slower.

Gotta have money to have free time generally, and entry fee's are not cheap. Most races skew towards higher earners.

Most races(half marathons) I've done are in the $40-$50 range. The Rock n Roll series is obviously going to be higher when they have artists and an after race concert.

I generally only run rock and roll, but I am doing a 10K in September that is only $10. You get a goody bag
