    1st place in 4:37:03, but only by 90 seconds, had 5 minute lead at 22 mile mark, but he reeled me in and was about a minute behind with 4 miles to go, but I was able to open another 30 seconds before finish only because i saw him, had the two of us been left to finish without knowing where the other was at, he would have beaten me.

    ...

     

    i took at least a minute longer than the other top finishers at each bag drop, i'm an idiot.
     

     

    Excellent job, even if you're inept at trail logistics.

     

    will have to report back on whether i lapped Ghostwood, i tried to closely inspect every pair of female legs i passed, but was tough to match them to her avatar.

     

    Good to see you willing go the extra mile like this.

    It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

      I usually get around 18 in about 4 hrs, if that helps.  Add another hour for the 19th.

       

      It took me a while to get this.

       

      Speaking of the 19th... There was no t-shirt. Instead, they handed runners a full glass of beer with the race logo on it.

       

      I originally thought it was a reference to someone's post-race drinking goal... but I finally got it.

        Way to go, Betsy! 

         

        Poor Weegee.

         

        Yeah, I appear to have stepped on kryptonite, but I'm not too horribly hobbled.  I knew my ankle was sketchy at the start, and at least it waited until mile 12 to roll over again, resulting in a great ride on the fight or flight adrenaline rush and a humbling limp back to the start/finish.  I think it'll be better in another couple of weeks.

         

        Meanwhile I'll wear the title of First Loser / DNF for the Deception Pass 50K.

         

        Congrats to all who had better runs, which is…  Let's see…   All of you!  :-)

          We'll see about that. Still not sure my hamstring isn't going to explode tomorrow.

            The Tucson boys are 75 minutes into the race. It's 46 degrees with a dew point of 29 and very little wind. And they're running a long, gradual downhill.

              sounds perfect! really wish they had runner tracking

               

              MTA: I found runner tracking...the boys did very well this morning

                  Looks like they crashed the server with those runs.

                    Ran 2:58:38 -- a 3-second PR. Garmin said 2:58:44, so I thought I missed it. Damn, that was hard. Gave up on 2:58 at 20 and just tried to hang on for sub-3. Hung out with Bash and Sully afterwards. They did great.

                        Nice work. So you gave up on 2:58, but decided to go for a PR. That's precision!

                          Okay the stupid website keeps saying "Forbidden"

                           

                          I wanna knoooow!

                          How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

                            Hey, I'm the guy that ran 40:00.00 on my first attempt at sub-40. But no, I decided a PR was out and it would take all I had to go sub-3. Glad I was wrong.

                              I'm just glad your hamstring didn't 'splode.  Great job, especially considering the (very smart) last-minute switch from CIM.

                                3:02:48 with a pit stop at 11ish. Really good day and ran pretty consistent. Sub 3 at Boston. Scully and Bhearn killed it and nice surprise seeing A1. I think Sully introduced himself again to him.
