Race Reports
Race reports are stories, frequently humorous, sometimes tragic, of what happens during the course of a race. I certainly didn't invent this concept -- there are lots of them out on the Internet. However, the others don't apply to me, so here is MY collection of race reports.
Traditionally, race reports are long-ish narratives, which describes my marathon and Ironman reports. However, it seems a waste to spend all that effort to write (and especially read!) all that stuff for shorter races. To that end, I've decided add a few other literary categories to my race reports. The following types of races end up in these categories:
|
Race Format
|
Type of Report
|
|---|---|
| 5K | Haiku |
| 10K | Sonnet |
| 1/2 Marathon | Epic Poem |
| Marathon | Traditional narrative |
| Sprint Triathlon | Hack Poetry |
| Olympic Triathlon | Free Poetry |
| Ironman | Traditional narrative |
Don't for a moment mistake me for an actual poet (or narrative author for that matter). This is just a fun way to report about the races without boring everyone to tears.
