So I know this is a running blog, but I want to tell you about hubs who is going to be riding 64 miles tomorrow in Metropolis, IL at the 33rd annual Superman Bike Trek. It is his first race but I am sure it won't be his last. He is going to riding with some colleagues and this will be the farthest he has ridden before. I have to say I am pretty excited! It is my turn to watch and cheer as he competes. The kids are here too and I am thrilled they get to watch Daddy as he rides. They got to see me (I got to see them!) as I ran by during the Country Music 1/2 in April and it did my heart such good. Hope we can be and do the same for him.
It is fun to note the differences between this race and the ones that I run in.
- The price difference: $25 vs $85 (for 1/2 marathons) or $20 for local 5Ks
- The packet pick-up was also different: a couple people sitting under beach umbrellas outside a local mexican restaurant.
- The race packet: a t-shirt and a map
Excited to see what differences I find tomorrow but more excited to watch hubs compete. Good luck tomorrow hubs! We'll be cheering and happy riding.
