El Pirata Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the Flyin Pirate event in NC April 9 & 10? From what I have researched it's a run event and I entered the 1/2 marathon on the 10th but that's about all I know. I will wear a little pirate garb, well progably just a pirate for hire ball cap because running 13.1 miles in pirate garb would be bordering on the nigh in possible. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
El Pirata Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Guess no one else is doing this. I have a "One Eyed Willie" biking jersey I am planning on wearing for the event. I thought about wearing my regular pirate garb but 13.1 miles is a heck of a long way to wear that while running. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
Jas. Hook Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 There's always a head scarf and neckerchief. 13.1 Harrrump! That's 13 more than I could do. I guess I'll have to stand and fight.

hurricane Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I'm with ya Jas. Unless there is a bar at the end with free drinks, I would see little point.

Hurricane - Bar and drinks??? I doubt it, they're never that civilized. It's usually just a tape and gatorade at the finish. Hardly worth haulin' anchor for.
