Marathon Confidence Is Always A Good Thing
Having confidence going into any marathon is pretty much always a good thing.
Even when one might just be a wee little bit over the top. In pure fun, of course.
Thanks to eagle-eyed Edwin Quarles, we present to you 25-year-old Clute resident and Clute Intermediate School band director Brent Roach. Roach's registration is listed as follows among all three (3) Clute residents running next month:
Heinlein, Jenny Suzanne, 29, F, Clute, Texas, United States, Aramco Half Marathon -13.1 Miles
Roach, Brent Athlete of the Century, 25, M, Clute, Texas, United States, Chevron Houston Marathon - 26.2 Miles
Heinlein, Wes Aaron, 29, M, Clute, Texas, United States, Aramco Half Marathon -13.1 Miles
This link on the Brazosport ISD's web site describes Roach as "the band director at CIS. He attended East Central University in Ada, OK. Mr. Roach enjoys teaching at CIS because each day he finds a new challenge and becomes a more effective music educator and simultaneously improves the lives of the students. He likes the students at CIS because they are great and each of their personalities contributes to an outstanding student body. In his free time, he enjoys playing basketball, eating, playing piano, and playing ping pong."
The Brazosport Facts reported last month - in their online edition - that 12 of Roach's students were named on November 4th (in a competition at Pearland Jr. High South) to the All-Region Band. Not only is Roach an excellent educator and a first-time marathoner, it is clear that he has a healthy dose of good humor too.
Update! I had sent Brent an e-mail and he alerted me to the fact that he ran the Methodist Sugar Land Hospital 30K and didn't have to be admitted!
Seriously ... he finished 127th overall in a time of 2:24:50.1 chip time - a 7:47/minute pace.
"I did okay for a non-runner," Roach said about his debut race. "I've always had it (a marathon) on my list of things to do and decided I would go for it while I'm still young."
Brent, way to go and we wish you all the best!
