SBRR OFF 12/5/2020 through Jan 2nd, 2021 Covid and Holidays and 2021 Yearly Fee

 Hi, 

CONGRATULATIONS to all who raced the Virtual Half Marathon last week! We think it was a huge success with some great performances! Rich Cagley raced to a 1:19:31 PR by over 2minutes! which is also a National Class Age Group performance! Roy McLaughlin raced to a 1:30:31PR BY OVER 4MINUTES! Roy has worked very hard and been extremely consistent which led to his incredible personal best.  Jim Cathcart racing his first half marathon with a time goal of breaking 2 hrs did just that at 1:54! Alejandra Santos ran a great race as well! We are proud of all of you.

After consulting with our resident infectious disease expert, Lynn Fitzgibbons on the status of our community as it relates to Covid, We have decided to postpone practice starting tomorrow through January 1st. In Lynn's words, "The Stakes are too high to continue gathering at this point" We will reconvene for practice (depending on where we are with Covid at that time) on Saturday January 2nd.  This timing works great in terms of rebuilding after our virtual race series. We recommend taking at least 2 weeks and doing only easy mileage and 6-8x100m strides 3xweekly after your easy runs. We will post workouts again for the week of Dec 21st and they will be threshold workouts 85-90% Max HR type with shorter recovery jogs.

Reminders: 

Anyone who wants our incredibly functional yet fashionable SBRR masks, they are $12 each and are easy Stocking stuffers. Send us an email at sbrunrace1@gmail.com and we will arrange delivery and/or pick up.

Don't forget to sign up for 2021 by paying the yearly 2021 $125 fee using the PayPal button in the       righthand column of this blog. By doing so on time (no later than jan 10th), you assure yourself that you will receive our extremely stylish 2021 version SBRR hoodie or similar.

Lastly, We wish you happy, safe and fit holiday season!

Rusty and Mike

Saturday 11/28/2020 SB VIRTUAL HALF MARATHON!

 Hi, We will see you all at Goleta Beach tomorrow at 6:30am! We have our last race in the Virtual Grand Prix Series, the Half Marathon.  Keep in mind the actual course starting and finishing at the same point is over a half marathon distance. Those that are racing, GOOD LUCK!. Those that want to use this as a workout only, thats fine too. We recommend running an easy 30min, then 25min at Threshold effort and the remainder easy. We will be taking everyones water/Carb/Electrolyte solution and putting it on a table  where the Bike Path intersects with the Maria Ignacio trail over the bridge at Patterson. This intersection is  at the 1.5mi mark, 7.25mi mark and 11.8mi mark....so no need to carry your fluids if you choose not to.

Please take a close look at the map as I think we mentioned that after the Foothill School on Ribera the course takes a right on Cath Oaks then Right on Turnpike.....THAT WAS INCORRECT........the course takes a right on Cath Oaks then then very next right on San Marcos....see below. 

Starting time: 

7:10AM: 6:30/mi and faster

7:11AM: 7:30/mi or faster

7:12AM: 8:30/mi or faster

7:13AM:  12min/mi or faster (everyone else)

See you all tomorrow!
