Today (Saturday December 3rd, 2005) I ran the 8K race here in Wilmington. Race was good except the mile markers were off in first two miles and no one spotted a mile marker at mile 3. As with last week, I am running these races with little to no taper in attempt to prepare myself for the Jeep Challenge at the Gasparilla race in the end of February.
Results:32:42 12th overall out of 250 and 4th in age group. Masters PR for me at this distance (I have not run many 8K's) , No masters category and they only went 2 deep so no hardware for me today. Still the overall results were okay despite running with tired legs and fighting calf cramps in the end.
Food was great, beer was cold and they had a great goodie bag foreveryone. Not a bad day overall. This will be one of my last races in the 40-44 age group so I am overall fairly pleased with it. Still lots of room for improvementbut it is getting there slowly.

Hi Kurt. Great to read your blog! Hey about your cramps - we're researching running cramps and we've found out about people using pickle juice (!) to treat cramps!! There's a sports trainer at some American Uni who uses it with all his athletes and teams - check out the pickle juice article on our blog: http://runningcramps.blogspot.com/
Happy running!
