Finish Line Productions

My son just participated in his first triathlon. SuperKids by Finishline in Santa Cruz. It was my first experience with the sport as well. That being said I thought it was a good production. Ran smoothly, parking should have better logistics, I’m not sure how, but they did a good job informing us about the situation. They may be 5 stars I’ll update after the next couple of events!

I recently ran the Dirt Inspires 5-​Miler at Laguna Seca Recreation Area and it was the most challenging and therefore most satisfying event yet. See, I’m not a real runner; don’t let the dozen half-​marathon medals fool you. I jog for fun, peace of mind, some me time. I run in the East Bay flatlands, mostly San Leandro Marina with most of my races being urban flat races though I love the occasional Wine Country race. Hills can’t be avoided if you do a San Francisco event. However, I was not prepared for the steep dirt paths this race throws at you.
I had originally signed up for the 2012 Livermore Grape Stomp, another Finish Line race, but deferred my entry for a year due to tendonitis. That race got canceled and I couldn’t pass up a free race in the Monterey Area. I originally planned to do the half-​marathon but my recovery from surgery was extensive. Again, I had to change my race entry and Penny at Finish Line was awesome.
What a beautiful area for my first event post-​surgery. Pretty but I cursed for at least half the race. Still, I felt like the Bionic Woman when I was done.
The folks at Finish Line are wonderful. Friendly, supportive, especially the poor woman at bib pick-​up who had to deal with extra paperwork because of all the changes I had requested. I was weirded out by the porta-​showers and was too starved to grab a free Heineken and sandwich. Overall, a well-​run event.
