Colonial Half Marathon 2014 - Never Again !

My race experience - 1.5/5  

This race had an afternoon start and Williamsburg was just one hour away. No hotels required, just go, run and come back. Corey already signed up for the race so I had company too. Williamsburg is a beautiful place and I heard that the start at William and Mary is beautiful too, so I signed up for the race after Charleston marathon. I knew the race is just a week after my 50K, so I just wanted to have a good time with no target in mind.

Colonial 200 Relay - Run, Eat, Sleep, Run...!

My Experience - 3.5 / 5

No more races. I thought after Virginia Beach, time to focus on longer practice runs. And I was firm at it for next 5 days till I saw a post from Alex Shelton about an open slot for Colonial 200. A 200 mile relay race, that's new. I thought about the new challenge of running with a team for 36 hrs, and I decided to talk with Alex. Next day Alex got me setup with Steve, and long story short I was in the team 'Old Chuggers', which has slots open because of last minute withdrawals from their group.  We met for the planning at Ron's house and decided on how to manage the 36 legs on the course. I knew Mark Buckland from training team, all others I met for the first time.
