Welcome to Tighurt Running -- a running club with only one member!

My name is R. Andrew Strickland. I am a recreational runner who LOVES running races -- although I only win the occasional age group award.

The name Tighurt is derived from the words I used to say always before going out running: This Is Gonna HURT

The phrase was never meant as a complaint -- merely a mantra to keep me amused before I went out and tested my physical and mental endurance!

Dogwood Festival 5K

Dogwood Festival 5K
April 10, 2010
Perry, GA
Time: 21:59
Age Group: 5/13
Overall: 32/388

Comments: Pleasant race at the Dogwood Festival. Lots of Macon Tracks present. I like the course - it is largely a residential tour of Perry, Georgia, with plenty of dogwoods to back up the theme. The course is fairly rolling, but nothing too difficult. I had a solid run, one of my faster times, but could have done better. I did manage to out sprint another gentleman to the line after a 100-yard battle. That was lots of fun, but I sure felt the effort as I tried to fill out my finisher's card. The amenities were okay, not amazing. The t-shirt was a disappointment - nearly identical to the one from 2 years ago.
