The Hyannis, MA Marathon - 26.2 Miles - How Long Can I Wear The Medal?

Way back in November I was out for a friendly jog with my best friends Amy and Erica when the "M-word" was somewhat casually mentioned. Amy said, "I'm kinda thinking about a winter Marathon". What? No way. Been there, done that...x4. I'm out.

But...I'm a Type-A. I mulled it over for a while, didn't mention it to anyone. Was I up for it? Were my knees up for it? Maaayyyybbbeeee....

It could't hurt to be a training partner right? All caveats in place, I decided to join my friends on weekend training runs - it was the right thing to do for my friend. No race registration, no commitments...just supporting my friend.

There was the 13 mile run; then the 15, the 17 and the 20.

Then the race registration deadline approached (Jaws music here). Ok, I registered...and got a hotel room. It was just registration, no commitment.

With a week to go, the sinus infection showed up. I took the meds and ate enough vitamin C tablets to turn orange. 1 Day to go...race expo and packet pickup. There were.....

4,200 Registered Half-Marathoners but just 600 Registered Full-Marathoners - 2 times around a 13.1 mile loop. Doing the math here....we were going to be the lone rangers on the back part of the course. Double Dang! Whose idea was this anyway?

Race Day - 2/26 (ironic that we had to run 26.2 on 2/26). Gorgeous blue sky, sun, 30 degrees.....30 MPH wind. LOL

If you're considering a winter marathon location, Hyannis isn't a bad pick. The course is nice....not flat as you may imagine, several rolling hills. The organizers had things under control which is key. The only thing that was extremely difficult was the ratio of half-to-full race participants. Most of the race volunteers tried to be encouraging shouting support toward the runners. Most didn't understand that there were a few of us lost souls running the full 26.2 miles. At the 12 mile marker we kept hearing, "You look great! Only 1 mile to go!". That killed me....I had 14 more to go! There were no bands, almost no crowd support. Smaller races can play mind-games....big races like NYC have bands, 100k cheering folks all the way through the course. It helps. This race....not so much. But, we're friends and...

We did it!

Chalk up another win for the 40-something gals! My 5th full marathon and OFFICIALLY my last one. No kidding this time...........now, how long can I wear the medal???

Falmouth Soccer Club to Host 4^th Annual Indoor Tournament

The Falmouth Soccer Club (FSC) will host its Fourth Annual Joe Kirk Memorial Tournament on Saturday, March 24 at the Gus Canty Community Center. Last year about 140 players from ages eight to 18 participated, dozens of high school students and adults volunteered, and 35 local businesses and individuals sponsored the event and donated raffle prizes.

This year the all-day tournament will include small-sided games, raffle prizes, free tournament t-shirts, and snacks. The team mascot and staff from the New England Revolution will have a booth and be selling tickets for our 3^rd Annual Falmouth Soccer Club Night at a Revolution home game this season.

As always, all the funds raised during this event will be donated to help a family within the greater Falmouth Soccer Community who is in need of financial assistance as they deal with a financial, medical or other hardship.

There is a suggested $5 donation per player. Players can register in advance online at www.falmouthsc.org by clicking on “Online Registration.” Donations and sponsorships can be paid there as well, or checks can be made payable to Falmouth Soccer Club and mailed to FSC Treasurer Barbara Almeida at 26 Paddock Circle East Falmouth, MA 02536.

FSC is seeking raffle prizes, sponsors starting at $25, and volunteers to help at the event. To contribute or volunteer, please contact Tournament Director Derek Silcox (dsilcox@foodmarketinggroup.com). For more information visit www.falmouthsc.org.

FSC was established in 1992 as a travel soccer organization in Falmouth and has since grown tremendously. This spring season we have a record number of nearly 400 boys and girls ages 8 to 18 playing on 28 different teams led by nearly 50 volunteer coaches. The Kirk Tournament will help us kick off our 2012 spring season which begins the following weekend.
