Congrats on a good race! That elevation profile did look scary till I checked the scale - like you said, some of us have driveways steeper than that! Must be nice to have a race so close to home.

_{I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.}

Way to go Doug.

Last year your running was still struggling and you pushed through it all. Nice way to end the summer.

I still have not done this one. Maybe next year.

Excellent racing, Doug!

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Excellent racing on the comeback trail. But you did so well, you shouldn't give up yet--there's still a lot of the year left. You might find something interesting

Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Well done! I can understand your disappointment in where you thought you originally placed. Glad that was just an error!

Good job!

To someone who lives in the flat lands, the elevation profile still looked pretty impressive to me even after looking at the scale.

What a great comeback for you rochrunner and I am so happy for you! You should feel great about the placement as I know this is a very competitive race (or at least the write up about Brian Sell and this race describes it as such). You have come roaring back and snared that sub 2:00 time by a good margin. Well done!

.....and on a more challenging course. Enjoy the results and keep coming back with strength.

Congrats!

Nice job, Doug. And, yes, 17/50 does feel better, doesn't it?

I had to laugh at that elevation profile, though. Our local half has almost the exact same 300-foot gain late in the race....except it packs it into one mile instead of spreading it out over 5!

Be safe. Be kind.
