[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Minimum time to put 26.2 and 70.3 on bumper

Posted: 4/23/2014 12:33:55 PM EDT

Are there minimum times to put 70.3 and 26.2 on your bumper?
26.2 in 5:23 (self supported, water and gu)
70.3 in 7:30 my first no idea what I was doing.

As soon as you cross the finish line is what it seems around here.

ETA: Just to say... Good job!

You ran 'em, stick 'em on!

Marathon is as far as I've ever gone.

Dunno why you'd want to put the marathon on it with that other one. lol

Everyone does marathons these days. Very few go beyond.

I hate just thinking about that.

I don't think it's so much about time, as it is about how into it you are. If you run one marathon and put it on and never run another one I think that's kind of douchey. It's all subjective anyways. I ran three full marathons and would feel kind of weird about it personally.

Your car, your choice. You ran them so slap them on if you want to.

The only weird thing I do is that I will not wear a shirt from a run until after I finish it. Until then I haven't earned it.

My wife and I have shirts from a 5k that we both did. I finished in 22:33 and she finished in ~51:00. She wears her shirt more than I do.

That's not weird. Pretty common actually. It's supposed to be bad luck to wear the shirt/hat/whatever in the race.

I think I'm going to go magnet, I can then replace it with a 140.6 or a little 140.6 symbol (EVENTUALLY).

So, was this a race? I thought most races had aid stations, maybe I am mistaken.

So...that's what those numbers are! I had no idea

They do, Mayors Marathon in Anchorage AK. I sometimes have GI issues when I run

and was going to be taking TP and body glide anyway, so figured that throwing actual water in the camelback, and the gu's seemed like a handy place to carry them, After training with it for 4 months I figured WTH if it works for training it has to work for race day.

Well today I decided I am going to run a Marathon. Next June, so I have plenty of time to train. I'm sure my wife will be thrilled to find out.

It could be that there is more to admire about her achievement than yours.

Eh, probably not. I trained for a month, set a new PR, finished in the top 10%. She didn't train at all and walked the whole thing.

I don't feel the need to put one on my car and I've qualified for Boston, gone sub-3, etc.. If you're really worried about it just get one of these.. The distance of the marathon is the easy part, the time on the other hand...
