Dave wrapped up his summer racing season today with the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half-Marathon. This is his 3rd year racing this course and he's improved every year. He felt horribly unprepared for this years race (been more focused on his swimming and biking), but he pulled off an impressive 1:33 time over the 13.2 miles. That's a 7:08/mi pace for those of you who are counting!
While it was tough getting myself up at 5 am to go watch, I always enjoy being Dave's cheerleader. The girls joined me this year as well. I think they enjoyed the 7 hours in the car with us rather than spending the equivalent in the kennel. I still think this race is a parking and traffic nightmare, but this year I was able to see him at the start, mile 2, and mile 13. I'll call it a success, even though I find it pretty pathetic that I can barely drive 12 miles on I-70 and find a parking spot before the 1st place runner has completed the entire 13 mile run.
