Did you know that 2013 will be the Year of Wahoo?You might be thinking, "2013?! It's still only 2011!" or "No silly, 2013 is the year of the Snake and a Wahoo is a fish."
Boston or Bust! See you all in 2013...
You may be right, but 2013 will definitely be the Year of Wahoo -- at least on that 26.2 mile journey from Hopkinton, Massachusetts to the Back Bay of Boston. Three of us at Wahoo Fitness are training and planning (and hoping!) to qualify for the 2013 Boston Marathon. The next few months will be part of the Tour de Wahoo, putting our Wahoo keys, heart rate monitors and stride sensors to good use... and we hope to see some of you out there!
Our first qualifying attempt will be Molly, who will be taking on the BayState Marathon in Lowell, MA in less than two weeks (no pressure, now that I've just announced it to the world). She's been putting in the training and has a great support team up in Mass, but at 3 hours and 35 minutes, her BQ time is a whole 25 minutes faster than her last marathon (Atlanta ING last March).
Our second qualifying attempt will be Chip, who will be racing the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Gulfport, MS. This marathon is famous for a race director who starts the marathon with a starter gun and then runs (and usually wins) the marathon and then sits at the finish line to congratulate all of the finishers. Isn't that awesome?! A great example of the cool people we meet out running!
Our third qualifying attempt will be Mike, who will be racing the Albany Marathon in Albany GA on March 3rd. This was formerly known as the Snickers Marathon, but Mike ate them all.
Hopefully, we will have a live telemetry feature in our app soon so you can all watch us run (which should be as exciting as watching your neighbors paint dry) with real-time location, pace, and heart rate. You know you want to!
We hope to see you somewhere along the Tour de Wahoo or in Boston in 2013!
Wahoo!
-Mike
