Raining a bit?

The bike race made it with no rain, I climbed hope on saturday from 4-7 pm with no rain. Sunday afternoon it rained where I was.

I would be ready for rain / t storms in the afternoon, usually they last 60-90 min.

I am a fucking ball of nerves.

 You're ready!  Right foot, left foot, repeat until someone suggests you stop.  Best of luck to you... start forming your report now!  Write it in your head as you move through the course.  When you are at a low point, just think of how the rest of us will delight in reading of your misery. 

My very best from Texas to all of you RA'ers, would love to be there with you!

When are scovill and obsessor showing up? Is Anda coming along? I have wanted to meet her for a while.

Tons of this race are super runnable

And this is the reason many people fail imo - runnable, yes but run easy I would say.  Hard not to run fast when the first 2 miles are gradual downhill then the next 11 miles are flat.  A splash of adrenaline and a pinch of ego and voila - you are running the Winfield 50 (knock on wood).

Runnable? Perhaps, but the biggest challenge is (as mentioned) not running those sections too hard and later on, convincing your body that a given section is runnable...

Remember to walk early and to run late! 

So based on people leaving and all that stuff, the thought is doing the beer mile on sunday evening makes the most sense.  I will harass you all about this tomorrow.
