New BARC Ironfoot Series, Guess They Won't Let Me Bike It

To encourage participation in local and HARRA events, and to provide motivation for consistent training and competing, we are introducing a BARC Ironfoot Series.

Any BARC member who is also a HARRA member and finishes all of the following races earns the prestigious BARC Ironfoot Gold award.

9/22 HARRA Cross Country Relay

9/29 R.O.C. 5K/10K Kemah Boardwalk

10/14 USA Space City 10 Miler

10/28 Koala/Luke’s Locker Half Marathon or Relay

11/11 HMSA Classical 25K or Relay

12/8 Sugar Land 30K, OR any other December race!

1/13 Chevron Houston Marathon, Half Marathon or 5K.

Complete six out of seven for a Silver Ironfoot and five out of seven for a Bronze Ironfoot. Volunteering at the ROC 5k/10k or USA Space City 10 miler can count for one race.

So set your goals high for this fall, join HARRA and run for BARC.

If you have any questions about the competition, please email Carwyn Sharp, BARC President at csharp@wylehou.com.

Too bad I won't be running this fall, otherwise I'd get me both the HARRA and the BARC Ironfoot, one for each foot.

In the meantime, I did do a nice 22 mile peloton ride at 19.6mph average tonight. Feeling strong.

Also made the HARRA Board meeting last night and finally met Jon's good buddy Bill Dwyer. You can take him at TIR Jon, no problem.

Woohoo! I think I might actually be able to do this, i.e. I won't be out of town and miss a race!

Any December race will work instead of the 30K?
