Candice, we missed you at Judicata.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

It would have been a good race, for sure. I like that one. Instead I was up in Illinois freezing my ass off getting lost on an 18 miler turned 19 miler running into 16mph headwinds in 12f. GOOD TIMES! Anyway, you all did great... I'm just sad I missed out on the awesome arm warmers.

To close, and not enough money to be blunt. I shall continue to concentrate on the later April-May dates where I desire to be at my peak. mta: congrats Thunder on running well Saturday. You may have not felt great, but you did good. Consider it good training for what lies ahead. You are on a good path my brother.

Good grief, Ricky. I just read your notes from Judicata, and that sounds wretched!!! There is no way I would have pulled myself to that race in the freezing rain in that condition. Serious HTFU.

And all that to just get 5 GP points. Lame, huh.

Thanks Ricky, it was a very bittersweet day. I was very sorry to see that you weren't feeling well. I was actually pretty worried about you after the race, but your race report cracks me up. It's as good as Tanya's blog! Big grin

Keep training and stay focused and you'll get another shot at Andrew whenever you want it. But just FYI...."Thunder" didn't show up for that race, you don't stand a chance against The Thunder. Wink
