Tombstone Mountain Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Our distinguished member, Rod in Rio, is running a marathon tomorrow in Rio. I couldn't imagine doing it myself, but I know it's a huge passion for this man we all love. Let us know how you do. I wish you luck big guy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 You go, Rod!!! We are all rooting for you! After you win, we will have a huge TRF bash to celebrate! But, bring your own potato salad if you are smart. LABT might still be trying to unload the moldy stuff from eons ago on unsuspecting victims. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thank you all for the support!!! The race is 12 hours from now, but I'm so anxious that I could start running immediately!!!! After a few tweaks in the setlist, here are the five albums I'll listen to during the run: Van Halen - 1984;Dream Theater - Awake;The Number of the Beast;A Show of Hands;Back in Back. The goal is to finish in less than 04 hours, but just getting to the finish line will be awesome!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks, Babycat!!! It's nice to know that you all care about me, and a shame how unlikely it is that I'll be able to meet any of you in person... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Four hours to start...and I can't sleep anymore!!! Since yesterday morning I have this pain on my back from chasing my daughter around the house and carrying her, and this is bothering me A LOT! I think it has to do with anxiety as we'll, so I'm hoping that once I start to run this will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Rod beat his 4 hour goal...awesome! 3 hours and 56 minutesCongratulations to you amigo Edited July 26, 2015 by Tombstone Mountain 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I did it!!!! Finished the race in 03h56min. My best marathon never, and the one I felt I had more control of my pace, hidration, etc. At some point I thought I wasn't gonna make it - more or less on km 32 - but seeing my parents, my wife and my daughter along the way gave me that extra boost. The soundtrack worked quite well, aside from the last track of Awake, which is VERY low-paced. ASOH helped a lot, especially Marathon, Turn The Page and Subdivisions. Maiden's Run to the Hills was quite a boost too, and I finished the race with an ominous one-two punch: Hallowed be thy name and AC/DC' Hells Bells. I have a picture of me on km 35 which I'll post here later on. Once again, thanks for the support, guys!!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
