Big Sur Marathon this weekend

It has probably been said one too many times, but I think it is safe to say that Zoomzer.com has officially been launched. By "officially" I mean we spammed the 1000+ people in our email list and asked them to check it out. Response so far has been fantastic, except for one small personal debacle. Otherwise, all is grand in Zoomzer land and this weekend we are off to promote the site and cheer on our friends at the world famous Big Sur International Marathon in, you guessed it, Big Sur, California. Only two people have reviewed this race so join the fun and add your comments http://zoomzer.com/races/view/99 It is a great opportunity to brag about your performance and to let the race directors know what you thought about the race.

Big Sur is a race beyond my ability at this point in time. Come on, I have some legit excuses that I refuse to mention here. Although the Zoomzer team has raced a couple of Ironmans, there is something particularly daunting about this race. My mom and uncle have competed in it a few times and said the gravitational pull on some of the tight corners make for one heck of a tough run. Yes, the views are second to none but they both said this race kicks your booty. On the race homepage there is a quote that absolutely resonates with Zoomzer- Finishing a marathon is a life-changing experience…finishing Big Sur will enrich your soul - anything that enriches my soul, sign me up. Oh wait, I didn't train and I think it is sold out. Next year?

Keep an eye out for the "Review THIS Race - Zoomzer.com" signs being held up along the course. Don't just look at the view, look at us! We'll be there at the end cheering for all you amazing finishers. Please let Team Zoomzer know if you see anyone competing in the marathon wearing a pair of Sketchers tennis shoes. We have a bet going that someone - there has to be someone - will run in a pair. Take a picture and let us know!

Happy Zooming all you Racers! Good luck and let's see a PR at Big Sur. And Polly you can go Sub-4, you rock!

  2. Sketchers are not running shoes no matter how many people you ask...this is one bet you are not winning, not that I remember the stakes anyway. I just learned there is a Beer Tent at the finish, I think I just found my motivation for a speedy run.
