Nutella lovers rejoice, this race is your dream come true!! There were so many snacks...more snacks…read morethan you can imagine and jars of nutella were everywhere to add to your banana, cake or nutella sandwiches. Best. race. food. ever!! This was such a fun and well-planned event, we really enjoyed ourselves! I am always happy to see a course that isn't overcrowded and a start without long lines and sufficient port-a-potties (essential!). There were so many helpful volunteers around and so many people trying to feed you cake, much appreciated. The race shirts/medals/photo booths/signs all had lovely oatmeal artwork which alone is worth the price of admission. There were so many fun costumes and the blerches and couches along the course give you a nice chuckle. The only downside is that the course has lots or gravel which makes for some discomfort at times, but I would still do this race again for sure. One tip: purchase the parking pass, it is well worth it and you get to park right next to the start. I heart Beat the Blerch!! Thanks for a fun run!!

My running group tries to do a "destination" race every year & we decided to make it Beat the…read moreBlerch this year. There was nine of us from AZ (one was actually from Iowa). A couple people in our group were originally from Seattle & a few were familiar with The Oatmeal (I wasn't) so it seemed like a good fit. It was so fun! Most people in our group are generally pretty competitive runners, but given the nature of this race all but one decided to run for "fun." Most of us (including me) did the half marathon along withe a couple of 10K'ers (they also do have a full marathon option). Before I get into the fun stuff I'll just point out some race logistics. The half marathon (as well as 10K) is an out and back. It's a gradual up hill along a trail, so coming back it's a gradual down hill. The setting is gorgeous (Carnation is about 45 minutes outside of Seattle) with lots of greenery. I would say the race itself is a less competitive than most big organized races like this (which totally makes sense) with people of all different abilities. The one woman in our group who did take it seriously was the 2nd overall female and in the top 20 overall (there was over 800 people who did the half). She said she's never finished so high in a race that big. Okay...now for the fun! -BURRIDONUT (sp?): I had one before the race (they were also available after). Get in line, take a flour tortilla, get a grilled donut from a local bakery (chocolate or coconut), and then your toppings. They had bacon bits, ranch, gummy bears, marshmallows, and other toppings that I can't remember. Wrap it all together and enjoy! It's a good thing I wasn't taking the race seriously because I DEFINITELY felt this rumbling in my belly as a jogged. Also, the grill they were using for the donuts was nice to stand by to keep warm. -Cake!: Yep, there's cake at the aid stations! And not just store bought grocery cake. I can't remember the name of the local bakery who provided a TON of sheet cake, but it was really delicious & moist. The bakery also provided the donuts for the burridonuts -Nutella sandwiches: Also available at aid stations. I had to have one to say I ran while eating nutella sandwich, but like the burridonut it did a number on my stomach and I only had one at the the first aid station -Blerches (and a Sasquatch!): These guys jumped out every now and then to lighten the mood and make for a fun experience. The location for this race is nice! There's a large barn in Tolt Macdonald park where lots of goodies were available after the race. Also, the swag bags were pretty nice. In addition to a foam blerch & candy, all half marathoners get a really nice long sleeve half-zip tech running shirt w/the race logo. I'd totally do this race again!

Food trucks for days, stands and even more food! If you're a big foodie, want to sample awesome…read morelocal eats or just hungry then you've found yourself in the right place. Finding parking will probably take forever to find unless you come early or Uber over here. The lines get long fast so if you come anytime after 12, it might be too late (unless you don't mind waiting of course). The Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade line and a couple desserts trucks were the longest, gotta be that summer heat. So good if you're lucky to try it tho! Oh and there's a beer garden if you're just tryna chill out. Tacos = amazing! Sandwiches = amazing! Poke = amazing! Raclette = amazing! Mangonada = amazing! Basically everything I ate at the food festival was bomb! Come hungry, leave with a food coma and maybe a couple extra pounds.

The lines were mostly reasonable being in the middle of the day. There is a map set up in the intersections. Even though there are only 4 blocks of space, there are PLENTY to choose from. For reasons unknown, Block 1 is the most packed, side-by-side, with food tracks. Coincidentally, I also think this block easily had the best food. Based on the crowded foot traffic, others agreed. The organizers need to spread things out better considering there are space in the other blocks. For the food, we chose: 12 Spice or Indonesian Rendang The mushroom topping over turmeric rice was AMAZING!! For such a seemingly simple dish, the flavor is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend. Cost is $8 Alaska Weathervane Scallops We chose two options - mushroom sauce over rice pilaf and over coleslaw, their salad. They also have a taco option. Rice pilaf is the better option by far. Their coleslaw is not remotely refined enough. The scallops are amazing, though! The entrées at $14 are very reasonable. Taco Bahia We had the Nellie - Grilled Salmon tacos at $14. You can request grilled instead of fried. Definitely a better, healthier option. Took pictures but didn't buy Character Cotton Candy - a bunny! Many people paid $8 for the Instagram photo. I just asked to take the picture. LOL

It was like we had all been friends for years and worked together to do something incredible - complete a 24 (almost) hour endurance race that would break most ordinary men, their cars, and their spirits. Congratulations to the Zoo Racing Team and Mr. Paul for everything - I will never forget it!

Don't be intimidated by triathlons. You can easily become a triathlete, regardless of prior…read moreexperience! GOOD NEWS The Danskin race itself is fun. It's all women and great for any skill level, age, ability, or size. It's empowering! It's exciting, especially because of its size! And they give great medals and shirts and other swag! BAD NEWS Danskin fills up quickly, often on the first day of registration, which is in February. If you do get in, there will be about 5500 women racing with you. It's crowded. Last year's expo (my first) was a long mess. Allow lots of time to register on the day before the race. If you don't get in, don't worry. The Trek Tri is the same route and also women-only, run by the women who used to run Danskin; it's better anyway and not as full. It's commercial--you will be innundated with advertising for Danskin everyime you turn around. And they love to promote straight, pink femininity. Sometimes it feels like women's triathlon organizers and those who market to us are trying to compensate for the fact that we're athletic by dressing us in pink flowers. Yuck. TIPS Find a good training program online or in book and follow it. Check out some of the great workshops offered by the Lunachix (all money goes to charity). http://www.seattletrilunachix.com/ Get out and swim in a lake, ride a bike, run outside. And ask other people for tips--you don't have to be an expert or have lots of fancy stuff to do a tri. Most of all, have fun!

Answers: yup, yup, and nope. The Danskin Triathlon is open to all women, regardless of age, weight, and disability. Throughout the training process and actual triathlon, coaches are always on-site to encourage, support and cheer the participants. My BFF quit smoking and wore a patch through most of the training. Today, as I got up at 5:45 so I could make it to her start time of 7:52, I watched a triathlete swim, bike and run with nary a nicotine patch. The energy present at the triathlon was incredible. Woman after woman crossed the finish line to the sounds of cheers and excited friends and family members. Greeting her at the finish line and giving her a big congratulatory hug almost brought me to tears.
