<\/a>And after submitting my results, here’s my current ranking… I know that’s not gonna last.<\/p>\r\n
Yeas ago I ran the Lost Dutchman Marathon out in Apache Junction, AZ. It was a beautiful course and a lot of fun as we were met at the finish by the prospector mascot and his burro.
They couldn’t hold an inperson event this year so opted for a virtual race, as so many other events have quite rightly decided. It is not currently safe to do an inperson event. I sincerely hope in the future we can get back to social interactions even if its 6 feet apart still. But in the meantime, I try and stay running when I can.
So it was today that I stumbled out of bed and threw on my Lost Dutchman 2021 shirt and hit the roads… running the same course routes I’ve been doing for close to a year now. I try and vary the number of loops and where to turn off but let’s be honest it’s super boring no matter how you plot it.
Tired and exhausted, I circled about like that aforementioned prospector searching for the Lost Dutchman mine — round and round and round and round. But I eventually found what I was looking for — 26.2 miles of distance.
And thanks to the ADA sidewalk renovation near my house, there was even a portajohn to give me an “I am there at a race event” feel. I did not use the portajohn but for aesthetics purposes it was… how do you say… chef’s kiss?
Anyhoo, here’s my Garmin with the loo in the blurred background.<\/p>\r\n
