Pick a Time - Win A Prize
I am running my first marathon in 5 years on 10-10-2010. I am really lost on what I can accomplish. So here is your chance to tell me what final time I am going to run. You can check the race results in the members area or via sportstats for an idea of what pace I have been running lately and how that may or may not correlate to a full marathon distance.
If needed, you can use a race predictor such as McMillan Running. My last marathon (3rd) was in Ottawa in 2005 and I finished that one in 3:37:24
Rules
1) 1 guess per person
2) Your full name must be included with the estimate
3) Your guessed time is to the second and must not be a duplicate of an earlier time. If there is a duplicate the first time posted is recognized.
4) Closest to the finishing net time (over or under) is the winner. If there is a tie, ie. one over and one under by the same number of seconds, the guess with the lower estimated time is the winner.
5) Guesses will only be considered as a reply to this post.
6) Contest closes on October 7th at midnight.
Don't worry about hurting my feelings with a slow time - there is always a chance I blow up and walk!
The prize will be something from Chicago. Don't expect extravagance. Maybe leftover pizza.
