Flying Piggy Weekend, WISH Team Goes Hog Wild!!!

[windwalker]

Hey guys the Flying Pig races are going to a new level for 2008, first weekend in May.

They are supposed to be offering a Pig 3 Way in addition to the 5K, 10K, Half and Full Marathons. The 3 way will be doing the 5K and 10K on saturday and the Full Piggy on Sunday. (Is this like the full monte)?

The race is a good one but there is some serious hills. But it has all the goodies, from a great Expo to good eats at the end.

This is the 10th anniversery year also so they have already opened the registration for next years races. The 3 way is not listed to register yet but as soon as it is Erica and I are signing up.

We had a good WISH turnout this last time. We met some world class people.

See y'all there guys.

I'd love to be able to plan on this, but until we know when "Minnie" weekend is going to be, it is hard to make any plans for late spring races next year. Also, Howard will be in his last semester of his MBA program and heading into finals, so as much as I wanted him to go this year to the Pig, the timing was bad, as it will be for one more year. After that, it will be a matter of work schedules and vacation time, rather than class and finals schedules.

Sounds great, though, Dave!

I'm with Cam on this one. I'd sure like to have the dates available.

I'm waiting to hear about Minnie, but if that is a no go I'll be debating between the BMO Vancouver Half and the Piggy Half (since my cousin lives in Florence). I for sure won't be doing the 3 way though!!

I'd like to participate again. It was a great race and a great time. Thanks for setting up the thread Dave.

Mouse, buddy, we need to plan on more WISH team fun for next time. Like a field trip to the NewPort Aquarium or something after the 5 and 10K races, then dinner and a late lunch gathering after the sunday race.

I love the Pig, Dave. Hey, there is also a marathon relay offered, so no one has to feel like they must be a "marathoner" to participate.

If the three-way does come to fruition, I'll be up for it. I've got to get better at hills (and at controlling my portion sizes!) in the meantime.

Wendy, I have some sort of rare physical defect that makes me incapable of eating only a normal size portion of food.

See it's like this I'm 5'9" tall and weigh 170 lbs. But I think I'm 6'5" tall and weigh 250. So it's a problem. Don't tell anyone this, it's weird and people will think I'm not right, oh that's right they allready do.
