Mark Your Calendars for February 7th at 8:30am!

Yes, you read that right!  Go time on February 7th is 8:30am for the Bonk Republic team.

So what does that mean for yours truly?  Good question!  I'm in the second van, so I won't be starting for a while, but that's ok.  Maybe we'll get to cheer on the first set of six runners.  The first set will cover 22.8 miles.  Being a bit generous (maybe), if each mile was at a 9 minute pace, that's going work out to be 205 minutes.  In case you don't want to break it down, that's about 3.5 hours.  In my van, runners 7 and 8 will go before me, so that'll mean another 12.1 miles.  Estimating, again, at a 9 minute pace, that's about 108 minutes or an hour and 50 minutes.  Let's round up to 2 hours.  So somewhere about 5.5 hours after 8:30am, I should be hitting the road!  Woo hoo!

I like that!  Why?  Refer back to my blog post about being a "princess" and not enjoying cold weather running!   Even if it's chilly (or downright cold that day), it should hopefully be warmer by 2pm!
