RE: The Triple Peaks Challenge 2018 race report
Tremendous race and report @trevor.george! I especially liked the details like a coffee flavored good luck kiss and Strava thinking it took six minutes longer — ha! Right, we’ve all tried that one buddy :). But seriously, this made for an enjoyable train ride to work.
hehe But it's TRUE I tell you! hehehe
This was the best race I've had so far and it is really encouraging that I can have a good day out on the trails now.
There is more about my wife's day that I didn't put in because the post was already quite long. She took on her own challenge for the day and also succeeded. ;-)
Someone needs to do a better job of chronicling and praising the family members who support their runners. I have been on both sides. My wife's family is full of wacky runners and we have made many family trips around the country to cheer on various members. On a dark note, we were waiting for my father-in-law when the terrible bombing happened in Boston. Luckily he was okay, but he had to stop running a mile from the finish and spent several hours trying to find my mother-in-law. And of course there are much happier stories too :/
I am thinking of writing a post about my wife's 'challenging' time waiting for me to finish the race.
It involves coffees, pedicures, facials, and massages at a day spa.... oh, how she suffers for me :-)
This is a must. Hard luck on not getting fed for a week, these stories must be told about the suffering the support staff have to go through.
