I got a call Friday from Steve at the Fort Collins Geico office telling me I had won a free entry into the Colorado Marathon next weekend!!! I'm very excited about this, as the race has been closed since December and I really wanted a shot at the downhill/flat course after last weekend's suffering in the hills at the Horsetooth Half Marathon.
As I was sitting at work last Monday lamenting my disappointment at my HT time, I got an email from the Colorado Marathon folks telling everyone on their email list how to enter for a free sponsor entry. One option was to go to Whole Foods and enter a drawing. Another was to go get a rate quote at Geico and get entered in another drawing. I actually did both. At Geico I sat down with Melissa Maliki and she got us better coverage than we had with Progressive for $25 less a month. AND I got entered into the drawing. So feeling lucky, I started planning out how I'd run the CO course. Friday came and bingo....I won one of the 2 entries!
The CO Marathon has a full marathon, half, 10k and 5k. I am not trained for a full so I entered the Half. Now the pressure is on, since I've been telling everyone who would listen that I can break 2 hours on a flat course. It will be my second Half Marathon, and I'll keep you posted on the results.
Email Melissa @ Geico for a quote!
