Quick Update: 2011 Bataan Memorial Death March!

Just a quick update to note that provided everything goes well, I will be doing the event again this coming March in 2011. I asked for and received permission from the Trappe Fire and Ambulance Company, Station 77/324 to use the company name in a fundraising campaign for the event. Provided all of the legal paperwork turns out okay, I’ll be looking for people to sponsor my run, with the donations going to the coffers of 77/324 for much needed equipment to support my local community.


It will be a few weeks yet before I can solidly determine what kind of completion time I should expect, but my overall goal is still sub 6 hours. As of right now it looks like I’ll be doing run/walk splits, either 4 miles running then 2 walking, or 6 miles running then 2 walking. I’m planning on doing 18 miles next Tuesday (right before Thanksgiving) with a 4/2 interval to see how it goes.

Of course, this will be in the heavy division (35+ lbs. pack) for the full (GREEN) route, 26.2 miles.

We’re on! Hah, I’m so excited.
