Team Mooch: Santa Cruz 1/2 Marathon

I will be running the Santa Cruz Half Marathon this Sunday 4/13 in memory of Joel.

Will be wearing my Team Mooch jersey and thinking about Joel as I shuffle through the miles. 

If anyone is in the SC area and not surfing or fishing or diving, any cheers, high fives, hugs and/or running company welcome...very easy to just jump in and run along with me. 

The race starts at 830am in front of the boardwalk, goes along west cliff to Natural Bridges, out onto the Wilder Bluffs and back for a finish at Cowells Beach.

Attached are some pics of me and my Team Mooch jersey...I'll be the big tall, slow guy. 

I will also be running with my friend Tracy Cockerham whose son Connor passed away from Stage 4 Melanoma earlier this year...Tracy will be running in Connor's memory and will also be running the Boston Marathon next weekend for him and to raise $ for Melanoma research...she has raised an amazing $28k+ already for the Boston race...if you see her running with me please yell out Go Tracy!

There are two ways to register: Online with Active.com or online with Racemine.com. We will not have registration on Race day!!

Race Bibs/Packet Pick-up
The Santa Cruz ½ Marathon and 10K / 5K will be using timing chips again this year and will not be mailing out any of the pre-race materials (bibs, chips, etc). We will be offering various times and locations prior to the race for you to pick up all of your pre-race materials so as to make race day worry-free.

If you aren’t able to make one of the pre-race registrations, rest-assured but come early. We will NOT be offering race registration on race day

It's a beautfiul course Martin...you should come out!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Nice!!!!

About to get ready to go!

Usually the day before a race I rest, hydrate and stay off my feet...

Yesterday I decided to do the exact opposite...put in a solid paddling/exploring/diving day and shot a mess of blues (including a 3/4 inch DOTY upgrade and tie for my PB), 2 olives, 2 lings, cab and monkey.

Pretty sure Mooch would approve of me taking advantage of the beautiful ocean conditions...even if it means I am starting the day sore and will take a little longer on the race.

Live life!

 

Sincerely,

Jim
