Avenue of the Giants 1/2, Humboldt Redwoods State Park, May 6
This morning I joined Team in Training with the goal of running the Avenue of the Giants 1/2 on May 6. It'll be my first half; up until now the longest races I've run have been 5Ks (Warrior Dash twice, Santa Cruz once).
Anyone else planning to run this one?

I've thought about doing this race in the past after reading about it in Runner's World magazine. I'm tempted to give it a try. How quickly does the registration fill up?

I'm intrigued. I'm looking for a race late spring that I don't have to get on a plane to do, but that isn't necessarily in Southern Ca. That would be a decent weekend getaway. I'd have to do it alone though since DH will be running the La Jolla the weekend before that. I'll have to do some investigating.

I think Santa Cruz has one in May too. Maybe it's late in the month though.

Two week countdown! I'm excited. Was thinking of getting a GoPro camera so I can film this and other races, but I'm not sure. Long range weather looks good!

I got a GoPro for my birthday, but I hadn't considered wearing it during a race. Hmmm...

The race was fantastic! Beautiful weather and scenery. We waded into the Eel River afterward to cool down our tired legs. I had my best time ever: 2:17:53!
Big congratulations Andrew for finishing your first half in excellent time! And a big congratulations Steph for PRing! Hmmm.. my friends are moving up there soon. I may have to consider this race in the future, betting I can stay with them.
