For a friend’s 40th we headed to south to Savannah. As has happened with a number of my
races, this one became as much about the trip and people I traveled with as the
race itself. In honor of my his 40th, here’s a brief overview (identifying the 40 most
important words):
Tugboat-Yes, we took a
tugboat to the race start.
Cobblestones-They’re great on
the ankles and motivation to watch your every step.
Savannah Pedals-The night after
the race we enjoyed the “pub with pedals” as a fun way to see the city. What better way to recover from a half
than pedaling around town for 2 hours.
Town Squares-Savannah is filled
with town squares and monuments. I quickly became accustomed to orienting myself based on proximity to a given
square. Or statue. My favorite was John Wesley, a shout out to my Methodist heritage.
Open
Containers=Legal-Within the historic district.
Which made the town squares, pedaling trip, and down time generally more
entertaining.
Funky Brunch-A great little
brunch spot that includes an electric
griddle in the middle of tables
allowing you to make your own pancakes. Yum.
Phillip Phillips-He was the
headliner for the postrace concert.
I discovered that I know more of his music than I thought.
Longest wait for food in a restaurant ever-We finally gave up, left, and were very thankful
for Subway
Forrest Gump-A running movie,
right? After spending some time
searching for it, we found the original Forrest
Gump park bench has been moved from Chippewa
Square to the Savannah History
Museum.
