AC's Road To The LPGA

May 09 The Memorial Mile is a real classic. If you are familar with Boardman, the race starts at Chili's and ends at Best Buy. It's best to park in the lot in front of JoAnn Fabrics and use the McDonald's bathroom. Roxy (my standard poodle) didn't run, but she watched me! I didn't really train for the race and ran 6:13. The first 400- 600 meters is pretty easy, but the hill going up towards Panera will make or break your time. Post race pizza and drinks!

April 2009 I decided to do the du and not the bi...if you are a beginner multi-sport athlete, you might want to stick with the bi. It is by far the hilliest course I have ever seen! The du was 3 mi run, 12 mi bike, and 3 mi run. There is one 3 mi loop and it's basically all hills LOL. So..you end up running it twice and cycling it four times haha. There are a couple of porta-pots at the race site. There is not designated area where your bike should be racked. Mine was right in the middle and I had no problems. My chain came off on the third loop, which cost me at least a minute. I'm now writing this in November 09 so i don't remember a time, but I think it was not as good as I expected. If you are ready for a challenge, this is definitely a race you need to check out! Weather was awesome on race day! Oh and you are supposed to see the buzzards somewhere around buzzards roost, but I didn't see any that day!
