I think a group of LRers are meeting 1hr-45min prior to the start at one of the driveway entances/exits of the Gateway movie theater (next to the start). Will probably be the exit/entrance furthest from the start line.
Hope to see you there. Van is in town with no more Letsrun access. If anyone is interested, I think Van and I are driving the course tomorrow morning - 8AM, perhaps?
How many LR's do you think will show?
Somewhere between 2 and 20. Seriously. I have no clue.
Not coming in until tomorrow but I'll look for the group at the Gateway.
Thanks
Did you say group with Galloway or group at the Gatway.- Ha. Kidding aside, The world famous Galloway himself is in Austin today and tomorrow. Anyone want me to get his autograph?
Sure, while he's hooked up to a polygraph machine, ask him for is autograph and then ask him if he thinks he is helping the distance running in the US and then if he has established his method in order to make some $. Then, watch that machine shake!
Dude, you must have all your radars and senses detecting any Galloway post. I post and 6 minutes later you have already "sniffed" out the source and shot Galloway down again.
You got it. It's my life's mission to take that program down.
Our training partner Andrzei Krzysin won again.
Go team Hellebuyck !!
Eddy
How'd the other letsrun folks make out? Anyone who was there?
Eddy how many folks make up team Hellebuyck?
Pete,
There were a few of us there.
I went 2:42:45 for 40th overall. Think I was 10th in the Masters division but haven't gotten official word. PR'd by 6 minutes on a pretty nasty day -- wind was brutal during much of the last half.
One of the guys from Austin was right behind me, and a couple of other guys were in the half marathon but i did not see them afterward.

I ran yesterday at Austin and loved it. I PR by 11mins and ran 2:29:35 for 17. I think that it was great that everyone was able to get groupd to run with. I wasn't able to make to the meeting area in the morning because I got there a little late, but I would like to thank everyone who organized the the group a lot. The race was fast a great course, but was amazed by the little amount of spectators out. Had it not been for the headwind along 6th street and then again for the last two miles I knew that my time would have been at least 1:30 faster and everyone else would have been also. Great Job Austin I will be back again.
Yes, but the wind at ypur back the other 20 miles proabably aided you even more.....I know I was there. Dude, the first 13 miles ll you had to do was pick up your feet and the down hill and wind would do the rest.
yes but the wind at your back for the first 13 helped you out more than it hurt the rest. I know I was there. Dude, the first 13 miles all you had to do was pick up your feet and the wind and downhill would do the rest.
Eddy where does everyone live? Doesn't Kev Collins live in Upstate NY? Interested in your program.
How much did you PR by Windy!?
David - that was me trying to catch you at the end - just couldn't push any harder. thanks for the push, though. yeah, the wind helped the first half (1:17:30), but if you're 120#, you got pummeled the second half (1:24:something). i was 2:42:54, missed my goal by 3 min's. xc7swim - outstanding effort, dude!!! Jay/Hedge - thanks for organizing everything; great job on the half. drop me a line if you want to run on town lake sometime (but gimme a couple weeks - i'm still going down stairs backwards right now).
PR'd by 6 minutes......however.....just kidding with the wind......those last 3 miles fely like I was running in place.
