New on iExercise - Texas Independence Relay



Just posting online and also at iTunes will be a double episode of iExercise recounting the 203 mile Texas Independence Relay (TIR). The episodes should be up by October 12th, or so. The two TIRs run so far by my running team, which represents the Mid-Texas Symphony, have been highlights of my running career. If you are a runner who knows other runners, perhaps you have run the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon in Corpus Christi, consider taking a quantum leap to an ultra-relay. Find more information at the TIR website or try to meet Jay and Joy Hilscher, the race directors, at the Rock'n'Roll San Antonio Marathon Expo. They had a table there last year and I assume will do the same this year.

San Antonio Runners Rule @ B2B 2010

San Antonio teams swept 4 of the top 5 places at this year's Beach to Bay Marathon Relay in Corpus. Two of those 4 SA teams were running for Fleet Feet San Antonio. Congratulations to those competitors: Fleet Feet Sports Mambas, Fleet Feet Juniors, Los Borrachos and GMTC.

Texas Independence Relay Results

The results are in for the 2010 running of the Texas Independence Relay, one of the coolest races to be found in Texas or elsewhere, for that matter. Congratulations to all the participants, to the numerous volunteers, and to race organizers Joy and Jay Hilscher.

Several San Antonio based teams ran the event. Kudos to Dr. Mitchell Finnie, a runner with Los Paisanos, the top finishing SA team. They covered the 203+ miles in 24 hours 53 minutes 30 seconds. The team from the Mid-Texas Symphony, which I led, finished in 29 hours 42 minutes 48 seconds.

Need a Lift?

I just ran across this inspiring blog and highly recommend it. It lifts my spirit to see so many people applying their passion and commitment to running to such great causes.
