Mt Washington Road Race 6-18-11

May 15, 2011

I was selected to run the Mt. Washington Road Race this year.  This was the third time I have entered in the last 4 years and the first time I was chosen.  It is a 7.6 mile race up Mt. Washington's toll road.  The average grade is 12% and I hope to finish in a bit over two hours.  I have done 4 marathons and a couple Goofy Challanges and I expect this to be my most rewarding experience.  I won't know until the end though.  As a fat person (still 260) going up was always the hardest thing.  Even as a pre-op, I believe that I could have finished a marathon in a reasonable amount of time.  I could have never gotten up Mt. Washington.  At the same time that I dread the race as it's the only race I have ever gotten nervous for, I am terribly excited about it!
