10k on the 10th Cavepeople Unite: Virtual Club Run Race Results

Bloggy friends have united for a 3rd virtual race and the results are finally in. By most accounts, the race was a success.

There have still been some minor complaints about inappropriate (donuts and coffee) or non-existent race support. We are sorry for any inconvenience the run-your-own-route-at-whatever-time-you-like format has caused. There was also substantially less (maybe no) bribing attempts of the race director this time around. I guess we'll all have to live with the consequences.



Interestingly, I've never had more people fighting over last place and excited to be doing so. Perhaps you'll learn the subtleties of bribery next time? :D
Thanks to everyone who participated and thought about your friends out there running. Thanks also to everyone who said they wouldn't have run if not for this race. There were also many Cavepeople who ran with their club, celebrated positivity and just embraced the Cavishness. To you I say, BRAVO and rock on.

Speaking of rocks, some hairy dude is working on a batch of rocks for medals. Please don't anyone hold your breath.


And to all our friends who could not participate, be it injury recovery, taper time, race recovery time, whatever, please keep the club handy and know that we were thinking of you!! I'm sure there will be a next time.


We had some great pictures and inspiring reports, with many PR's to boot. Hope you enjoy a sampling of the pictures and the results with reports linked. Two lucky folks are actually getting a real prize compliments of Brianna K. Grant!! She has given me 2 copies of We Are Girls Who Love to Run. I've given these to Pokey and Lisa - Slow and Steady for their determination and grit and celebration of running. Please email me your addresses, Lucky Ladies. And big big thanks to Brianna - her book would make a great gift!

How much do we love our awesome virtual race director?

She is the bestest RD ever (as one of my tiny patients would say!) You rock Nancy! Woohoo!

Hi Nancy...

My evil twin strikes again. That "leslie" guy was me, under a different alias! (Apparently, that's who I turn into when I stay up past my bedtime!) Either way, thanks again for a great race!

You are so awesome, it's beyond words.

You are good, Nancy. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Actually, looks like there was no need for bribery. Without a bribe, you knocked 5 minutes off my time giving me a big time PR! It doesn't change my placement, but my time was actually 47:27 rather than 42:27 (I wish I could run that fast).

First off thanks Nanc!! I had insomnia last night and peeped while you were working your tail off to bring us such a great report. You are the BEST!!

Congrats to all the cave runners out there!

I can't believe we even had a runner from Thailand. These races will be worldwide known soon. Gatorade will send the RD truckloads of G2 trying to be a sponsor :-)

Whoa Bob, That was cool. Just like that, 5 minutes lopped off. Thanks for letting me know. It was correct in my spreadsheet but must have transposed it incorrectly.

Please let me know of other errors or omissions!!

Thanks, All!!

Nancy - you are the best! You do such a great job with these race reports. I am definitely one of those runners that would have been parked on the couch had it not been for your fun races. Thanks again for getting me out there!

I didn't get to write a "real" race report, but I was out there with everyone running my 10K. I just did it a day late. :) http://k80k.zosis.com/?p=630

Can you please apply to be race director for Boston? You're SOOO forgiving, I'm thinking I can run a 4:20 marathon and you'll still say I qualified!

Thank you again for such a wonderful race.

Hi Nanc

Just getting caught up with all my bloggy friends.. and still in a bit of a post Disney haze. What is up with the PR??? Could it be that you are getting so fast that we will have to revisit the whole "NON RUNNER?" thing again. A great job and sub 11:30 for the 10k is definitely not anything to sneeze at. Congrats on both running and running a great race.. from what I have read most everybody was happy with the organization and the race amenities. Wish I could have been there, but I believe at the time I may have been on the Dumbo Ride:-)

Congrats everybody! And thanks Nancy for organizing this, which is always fun =)

I was so pumped on Saturday to run 10K instead of my double Sat/sun 5Ks. And I did it! In 1:10:40 but completely forgot to came back and post here hahaha I think I'm starting to really feel on vacay!
