At long last, it is my turn to host the giveaway for free entry into the 2014 Blue Ridge Marathon.
For those not privy, here are some of the details about the race:
The race takes place on Saturday, April 26, 2014. There is a total of 7,234 feet of elevation change. The course starts and finishes in Roanoke, Virginia. The course goes over three mountains, as well as many other hills that are small by comparison, but would be considered enormous if they were part of any other course. Thus, the tagline for this race is, "America's Toughest Road Marathon." The course records are 2:39:48 (male, full), 3:19:27 (female, full), 1:20:06 (male, half), and 1:29:17 (female, half).
HOW TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY FOR FREE ENTRY:
For additional entries, you may share this contest on Twitter, making sure to include the link to this post, my Twitter handle (@bubbicus), and the hashtag #RunBlueRidge. Each day on which you do this will be counted as a separate entry.
All entries must be in by 11:59pm on Sunday, November 17, 2013, and the winner will be announced early next week.
Alright, go forth! I hope to see you next year at the finish line!

ReplyDeleteWon't get fooled again, by The Who. It gets you pumped up to start, then when you see the hills, "Smile and grin at the change all around me"

ReplyDelete"Run, Then See Waverly At Liberty".
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a freshman at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. A couple of weeks ago, I flew into RDU, drove to see her for about 24 hours and ran the City of Oaks for state #33 in Raleigh.
Queen's "Another one bites the Dust" would play as I ascend up each of the three mountains and conquer the most difficult thing I have attempted!
ReplyDeleteSong Title = H.R.E.A.M. [Hills Rule Everything Around Me]
ReplyDeleteThis is a hill repeat training montage starting off with Peter pulling up compression shorts, putting on socks, tying shoe laces, strapping on the hamstring compression band, then the shin compression band [these shots start off on Peter with a quick zoom to the action at the specific body part]. Next shot in montage is a quick succession of shots showing the measuring of the Gatorade powder, the door to the bathroom shutting, adding the water to the Gatorade bottle, the sound of the toilet flushing, the shaking of the Gatorade bottle, the door to the bathroom shutting with the sound of the fan turning on, a quick drink of the freshly made Gatorade, with some dripping off the chin, pause in the music, a flush and Peter immerges from the bathroom adjusting his shorts turning of the light but leaving the fan on. Music starts again with the refrain H.R.E.A.M., hills rule everything around me and montage mixes shots of Peter starting up a hill, running down a hill, each with different expressions on his face, various outpouring levels of sweat, at one point Peter stops to listen to a bird call which is quickly followed by Peter running down the hill trying to imitate the bird call. High knees up, high knees down. Peter peeing off in the woods somewhere. The montage ends with Peter running up the driveway, drinking by Gatorade, the dog licking his legs, Peter inside, dog licking his legs, Peter opening a beer, the dog licking his legs, Peter chugging his beer, the dog licking his legs, Peter walking up the stairs to shower, the dog licking his legs. Final shot, Peter in the shower, the curtain is drawn (this is a family program) and you see Peter throwing his running clothes up and over the shower curtain rod, and we zoom in on Peter’s hand as he grabs his beer that is within reaching distance and he pulls the beer into the shower, fade to black. The end.
or...
ReplyDeleteSong Title = Peter Morgan Ain’t Nothing to F@#$ With!
The montage starts off with Peter smacking his wife in the ass, followed by various shots passing runners, high-fiving spectators, taking cups of Gatorade at aid stations, more shots passing other runners, then the big finish crossing the finish line.
Looks like i missed this!
