This looks more organized and probably safer. My only issue is the long drive to Northport on a Wednesday night. In the past, I did those practice runs very early on weekend mornings. Unlike you though, I have nightmares about James Street.<br /><br />The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-7987413439714545662013-08-19T16:07:56.844-04:002013-08-19T16:07:56.844-04:00Congrats on a great race.

The Northport Running Club organizes them for FREE! I'm not sure if you've ever done them. I did it once last year and I really think it helped me. The course was fresh in my mind race day, and I knew what to expect (I had only run it once before in 2004). I'm not doing it this year, but I wish I was. I love the James Street challenge.<br /><br />http://www.nrcrun.org/Races/CowHarborTraining.aspxShe Is Out Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497517619863017396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-68378345042395176352013-08-19T08:29:39.215-04:002013-08-19T08:29:39.215-04:00Robert.

But ...Dirty Sock is a good introductory trail race. But it is a tough event and good preparation for Cow Harbor (although there's nothing like the James Steet. hill on the course). You'll do well, I suspect.

I want to do that too, but that takes up even more of the morning. So, do I run a race, train or volunteer? I wanted to get down to Oyster Bay on the 24th and watch (take pics, volunteer) at the Tri this year,(since I don't participate in the action) but I'm working until 1:00. It's always something..<br /><br />Not technical? Perhaps I'll try it then next year!<br /><br />As you, I'm looking to run the CH in under an hour. Anything less than 58 min would be a PR for me.ThePetitePacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759681534640480507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-74861812027611683972013-08-18T21:05:03.779-04:002013-08-18T21:05:03.779-04:00Fun race report!

It's a cute idea. This year they provided tube socks, but in prior years, they've been crew length running socks.<br /><br />The Dirty Sock course is mostly dirt trails and not at all technical. The only paved section is the path around the lake and the road that connects to that.<br /><br />The GPS snafu annoyed me briefly, then I decided it would be interesting to run without real-time distance displayed. I was familiar enough with the course (and there were timing clocks at 1, 3 and 5 miles) so it was fine.<br /><br />Time for us to focus on Cow Harbor now! My goal for CH is 58 minutes, give or take. How about you?The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-72262262552687435602013-08-18T18:42:55.524-04:002013-08-18T18:42:55.524-04:00Pew!

Is it very technical?<br />Do you have a goal for the CH?<br />I feel badly for you about the Garmin. It's beyond frustrating.<br />I'm so glad TeamER had a great day!!ThePetitePacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759681534640480507noreply@blogger.com
