    Not a good year for me.  Monkey PW, actually. By a lot. And as I will retire before Monkey-next, fooey.  

     

    What is all this retiring from Monkey BS? Is it catching?

     

    No disrespect intended, but I would have been quite surprised to see you come in under 4. I mean, damn. You ran a hard 50K the day before. I don't care who you are, that's gonna cost a lot of time the next day, let alone that it's Monkey.

     

    It's not a Monkey PW, it's a Dizzy Monkey PR.

        You are not allowed to retire from Monkey.  It's not a real marathon anyway.

          I've done the 50k+marathon double before... most recently in September (with a 3:38 marathon that I could have run faster).

           

          My Monkey times aren't usually that tragically off from my regular marathon times. I ran a 3:39 last year (undoubled, but I was thinking more about relaying with beer than racing).

           

          So, yeah, shouldawouldcoulda beaten 4, though I was expecting more like 3:59 than 3:39.  Something was/is up.

           

          But yes a Dizzy Monkey PR.  That's pretty cool.

           

            FWIW I think a 3:10ish Monkey is comparable to < 3:00 at -- say -- New York. And you were still beat up from New York. All in all I'd say you did pretty well.

             

            Maybe. I've run faster at monkey though after a 3:10. But guess more like a month after than 2 weeks. Of course I didn't pass out, have a fractured toe or a respiratory infection that time so that's probably why. If you have a good monkey I think it's only about 10 mins slow. I'm basing that on bens 2:38 after his 2:28 2 weeks ago.

                      Yep, retirement is starting to sound pretty good.  Sleeping late on a Sunday morning in November would be awesome.  If I really missed the race, I could just take a rubber mallet to the bottom of my feet for a few minutes.  And then about noon just start pounding Dos Perros.

                      The tangents are moot.

                        Goals?

                          Dallas can't retire. He was stupid and got a monkey tattoo.

                              You didn't yell out anything strange to me this year. I'm kinda sad about that.
