Age: 38
Town: Northeast Washington
Previous participation: This will be my second.
Goals: I’ll be happy if I run faster than I did at the SunTrust National Marathon in the spring (3 hours, 10 minutes). If I do that, then lots of other good things (overall time, overall place, personal best at the Ironman distance, perhaps even an age group podium) will fall into place. And it’s also a goal that I can control with good pacing and nutrition.
What are you dreading? I’m not really dreading anything; I’m looking forward to it. I feel ready.
What are you looking forward to after the race? Two or three weeks off training to catch up at my job, on laundry and on lawn maintenance!
