Martian Half Marathon April 2009

Posted on by

My first half marathon is now history and in the books.

The race flyer from Running Fit.

The weather was great for a race, cool enough to be comfortable (34), but not so cool as to be frosty either. They said it was a slightly revised course this year, but since I had never run the half before (did the 10K in 2008) it was all new to me except a few parts both races share.

They always play up the Martian UFO angle putting out a lot of advertising like this full size poster.

The shirt is always unique and has won awards for design of running shirts.

The front side shows the hairy alien inside.

The Martian Marathon Technical Tee - Front.

While the back has the “friendly” alien coming out.

The finishers get a medal, along with the free sore legs, for their effort.

And the stats associated with the run.

The Martian Marathon Final Results.

    Some stats for the race:
    a) 13.1 Miles (Half Marathon)
    b) Finished 1053 out of 1762 overall
    c) Finished 31 out of 58 in my age group.
    d) Had a 9:35 pace (2:05:26.2 total time)
    e) Had a great time, even got a new 13.1 M PR (Ok, it had to be a PR!)

Until the final UFO is sighted,

The count down has begun to the Martian Marathon, well in my case the Martian 10K, which is pretty much a marathon for me!
For the curious, it shows that I am officially signed up for the 10K race.

The race is less than two weeks away on Saturday April 5, 2008. ???? like ????? I think I can go the distance, probably not non-stop, but a short enough “breather” to still keep the time pretty reasonable. ???? ????? ???? 777 ???? ?????

Should be a fun race! I am hoping the weather does not decide to dump more snow the night before – or during the race! ????? ?? ?????? After the latest round on Friday the 21st, Ann Arbor broke all annual snowfall records that went back to 1880 when the first records were kept, so it would not surprise me since we sometimes get snow that late! Better get out and buy those YakTraxs to have on hand foot feet!

Until the last alien abduction is solved,
