| Darn, I've gotten too skinny!! |
Yesterday, I completed the Space Coast 13.1. This is always a great race. If you are looking for a Boston qualifying race
this is a great one for you. It is
pretty dare flat and a fast course.

I’m not going to bore you with all the details of the
race. You can see the previous year’s
reviews (see above) for all the details.

Looks like I am about to rob a
bank but it kept me warm |
This year’s race was a little cold in the morning then
warmed up pretty good. I found myself
starting to sweet at mile 3 and had to start dropping layers.

| Proof I am a Star Wars nerd. |
The one disappointment was the lack of real themed water stops.
It seems like every year they get less
and less themed. This year they barely tried. This was a cool feature of previous years.
The other annoying thing about this race is it starts too
early. The race start time is 6:15 AM. This is way too early for a race.

| Pretty water and palms |
 |
| Very pretty race start |
Overall this is always a great and fun race. I recommend it to everyone.
My finishing time was 1:53:39 with a 8:41 pace.

That's some pretty nice bling! And I hear ya' on the start time. I'm running Disney this January and it starts at 5:30am. I think the rest of my 2013 race calendar will be picked based on race start times! haha
