Tony Brickel's Race Listing

Haven't posted anything in a long time. But I am still out there running.

Had nice ran with my friend Chris today. I like running with Chris he is fast and pushes me. We were running the last mile at 6:05 pace which is fast for me couldn't of done it without Chris running on my heals.

Frank and I did 16.5 on the western States trail today to look for my keys I lost there month ago. Got back to the car and no key a bit embarrassing. We did fine the keys right where I thought they should be. Ya hoo!!

9 miles with frank today.

Back at it after a week off traveling went to see my nice graduate from Oregon State. Ate way too much junk so not felling to great today. I am sure I will be back to normal by the end of the week.

A quick 5 this morning.

After three days off got out today and had a great run with friends Frank, Randall, Diann, Carrie,my wife Debbie and dogs Porter and Jade. What a great day.

Took it pretty easy today legs still tired from Sat. So after the gym walked the 4.5 home.

Did the Auburn Trail run today. Did the 25K which was supposed to be 15 miles turned out to be 16. Had a great time was in second place most of the day until the last 2 miles. Two girls racing for first woman passed me thought about burying myself to keep up with them. Then had second thoughts decided it wasn't worth it. I was second man a few min behind the winner. Both of us would of been further back but the front runners missed a turn and did an extra 4 miles. Great day well put on run got a bit hot at the end.

Easy 4 with Frank this morning have a tough 25K Sat.

The GPS watches are great. They give you all sorts of information, probably more than you need. My only problem is that I wear reading glasses and I don't run with them. I can not read the numbers. Are their any models out there with bigger numbers?
Bob Anderson 12/2/11 1:48 pmThe Numbers are small But I run with my Glasses on so it works for me. The One I have is a Timex bucause it was the only one that was water proof. I don't know if Garmins are easer to read.
Tony Brickel 12/2/11 5:59 pm I can't read anything without reading glasses including my cellphone, but I don't have any problems reading the information on my Garmin 210. I also had the 305 and could read that as well.
Roger Wright 12/2/11 9:29 pm I saw the Nike Sportswatch GPS and it looks to have a very big display. Might wannt to consider it. Here is a review: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/04/nike-sportwatch-gps-in-depth-review.html
Roger Wright 12/3/11 7:37 pm On the Garmin 910xt, if you go to Settings->Run Settings->Data Fields you can select 4 different "pages". On each page, you can select 3, 2, or 1 fields to display. If you select one field to display, it fills up the full watch display, which is quite visible. Combine this with increased contrast (Settings->Display->Contrast) and the visibility is good. I set the "auto scroll" (Settings->Run Settings->Auto Scroll) to "fast", and I have Auto Lap set to 1K. For races, I have "Lap Pace", "Elapsed Time", "Time of Day" (for race start), and "Max HR%" set. Some blogs that I've read said that "Pace" (real-time pace) is too inaccurate, and recommended "Lap pace" instead. They also recommended setting the auto-laps to be very small, like 0.1 mile, to help get a better current reading on pace. I went with 1K, because it made more sense to me, but YMMV.

Really like your profile image of you and Jade. Does he do long runs with you? I used to run with my dog...
Bob Anderson 11/16/11 10:53 amI've taken her up to 10 miles which means she did 20. I love running with my dog. They are such great company and their enthusiasm is catching.
Tony Brickel 11/16/11 11:22 am Wow 20 miles...do you have to ever wait for Jade? I wonder who else is running with their dog? I have two cats now (have not had a dog for nearly 20 years) and that doesn't work...
Bob Anderson 11/17/11 8:34 am No I never Have to wait for her she does wait for me though. She never leveas the trail. And never gets out of site.
Tony Brickel 11/18/11 2:39 pm Just got off the phone with Frank. I can't wait to read his book. We need to set up a run sometime as he suggested.
Bob Anderson 11/29/11 10:47 am That would be fun. I posted a link on our blog to your site Take a look I hope it is ok. http://ithasnothingtodowithage.blogspot.com/

Welcome Tony to our Ujena Fit Club. So, you love the hills? I love runnng down hills but I just don't do well on the up hills. Have you always liked hills?
Daniela Raldirez 11/11/11 1:01 pmHi Daniela It all came about from my endurance rideing. I wanted to be compitive so being 6"1 190 pounds. I needed to be able to get off my horse and run up the hills with him. I am not rideing any more but I still like to run. And I must say to be able pass people uphill ois a good filling. I am not too good downhill though. I tray to take it easy down hill to save my knees.
