2017: A Year In Race Weekend Pictures

Posted

This is a hastily put together photo collage of some of the race weekend photos I had “favorited” over the last 352 days. It’ll eventually go up as a backdrop for the website scrolling banner… and it will be the SECOND inaugural photo on my instagram feed (“second inaugural” — bah, harrumph!).

A Year In Bibs

I’m off Facebook for the time being as I endeavor to avoid any Star Wars Episode VII: The Last Jedi spoilers. I’m planning on seeing it Tuesday so only a few more days. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out how this instagram thing works. I’m only five or six years late to that […]

Jacksonville Marathon – A Threepeat?

Posted

A few years ago I was at a Pub Trivia Night and one of the categories was “Dead or Alive?”  The quizmaster gave a list of 10 celebrities and all we had to do was say if the person was dead or still alive.  Sounds simple… except our team (and many teams around us) had […]

Turnarounds

Somewhere over the continental USA… It’s a good thing I double checked my dates. Turns out my last marathon of 2017 is Saturday and not Sunday like I’d been thinking. It’s another repeated event, this time in Jacksonville. They claim to have one of the fastest courses in the USA. We will see if I […]

December 11, 2017 – Last Day in Paradise

Posted

A red-eye flight back to the mainland beckons tonight. But in the meantime, here are a series of photos that I never quite figured out where to put in the previous blog posts. Most are from the past 24-48 hours but there are a few earlier ones too. Some are even animated… rendered in my […]
