What a magnificent Father’s Day 2024 weekend I had in sunny California! It was a perfect blend of nostalgia, athletic achievement, and outright hilarity. Let me tell you, reconnecting with my high school Brochachos in the California Desert Heat was like stepping into a time machine, only this time, we were less concerned with acne and more focused on avoiding cramps and nipple chafing.
The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the Sugar Daddy 1/2 Marathon. Our team, the Wheezy Racers, came out in full force, with members traveling from as far as Pueblo, Colorado, and Olympia, Washington. When I say ” The Wheezy Racers were everywhere,” I mean it. We were like a swarm of well-intentioned, slightly out-of-shape bees, with some youngsters joing the mix. Our primary strategy? Win the race with the biggest team. I’m happy to report that we nailed it! And by “it,” I mean both the recognition of having the Biggest team , the most fun, and a bunch of free snacks.
The race itself was an epic saga. Picture this: a throng of middle-aged men and women in brightly colored Lycra, wheezing their way through 13.1 miles of California sunshine, where there was absolutely no where to hide from the burning sun. But, oh, the camaraderie! The laughs! The mutual encouragement! There’s nothing like hearing your Team shout, “Wheezy Racer, It’s Time2Grind!” at mile 5 and beyond to keep you going.
After crossing the finish line, with legs feeling like jelly and lungs burning like the California sun, the real celebration began. Winning the race with the biggest team. On our drive back to Archuleta’s house, we proudly celebrated with plenty of stories of the race, what we encountered, how we felt and how we are all looking forward to another Father’s Day adventure next year at the Sugar Daddy Half Marathon.
Here’s to hoping we’re a little faster, a little fitter, and just as fun. Until then, I’ll be practicing and remembering that being a Member of the Wheezy Racers is something special AND Everyday It’s Time2Grind!
Cheers to the Brochachos and the Wheezy Racers – may our miles be swift and our snacks be plentiful! #runsugardaddy #wheezyracers
