SURF CITY MARATHON AND HALF SUNDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2010
A bunch of us ran the sold out Huntington Beach Surf City Marathon and Half. The race filled up and sold out in late December. There were 20000 registered runners for this race.
The expo was not all that, we got a cool Surf City tote bag but nothing inside. Some of us finished the California Dreamin’ Challenge and picked up our jackets at the expo. This years jacket is more breathable than the first generation jacket. A few of us got suckered into buying the power balance watch, I would had bought one but they ran out of the black ones.
PRE RACE DINNER BUCCA DI BEPPO
We had a great pre race dinner at Bucca Di Beppo, Deb organized a great meal with more than enough food for everyone and a awesome desert platter.
THE SURF CITY MARATHON AND HALF
This was my second Surf City race, last year I ran the marathon. This year I ran the half, I liked the half better than the marathon. The course is flat and fast, the marathon is a good flat course but I didn’t like all the turns on the marathon course. The weather was great once again. I finished the half marathon in 1:48:57. Some of our runners that finished this race, registered for the Napa Valley Marathon the day after this race.

Linh coming off an injury broke the 4 hour mark and finished in 3:58 and he was not 100%. Michele ran her best marathon time finishing in 4:55. Nghi running her second marathon of 2010 finished in 4:56. Deb finishing up her California Dreamin’ Challenge, finished the marathon in 5:18.

YMCA CHINESE NEW YEAR 10K SUNDAY FEBRUARY 21, 2010
Over 1200 runners participated in this years race. This was my third consecutive Chinese New Year 10K. The weather this year held up and we didn’t run in the rain like last year. I did this race for the cool year of tiger t-shirt, I tried to hang with the top female runner but she kicked my ass, she finished in 38 minutes, I finished in 41 minutes. Felix running his second consectutive Chinese New Year 5K didn’t get beat by a 12 year old this year, he even passed a few of them up. He had a great race with each mile of the 5K faster than the other. I don’t know what happened to his official results but his Garmin got him finishing in 23 minutes.
