         Kelly is the leading woman!! The next woman is 28th!!!

         

         

        She's got a great night for this.It's in the mid 50's now here,probably 40's up there.No moon but no clouds either.

          Looks to be about a 900ft climb in the next 2 miles.

           

           

           

           

           

           

            I finally got the site to update.  It had her at 67.5 forever.  This is just incredible.  The lead guy is a 92.2 miles in 16:03.  Ho-lee crap!  That is an absolutely blistering pace.

             

            Jim - Funny you should mention "Lonesome Dove" (which is one of my all-time favorite movies).  It's on AMC right now.  Sounds like you and Lynda had a great time at the race.

             

            Woods - I LOVE corn on the cob.  Absolutely love it.  Corn on the cob, watermelon, and grapes - the reasons for summer.

             

            Joe - I think, with the mileage you've put in so far and the heat, etc., today, that a bonk can be forgive. I was talking about you to my buddy, Karen today.  Were your ears burning around, oh, 1:30 your time??

             

            We did a very casual 10 trail miles this morning.  Except for the fact that it was very humid and warm, it was a really pleasant run.  We stopped toward the end so Charlie Dog could swim.  We kept throwing the stick back in the water, and when he'd come out, we'd stand right next to him so he'd shake the water off him and all over us. Felt really good!   Between that and the berry picking the last mile - well, let's say our average pace took a nose dive.  Aaah, too bad.

               would have been but that's about when I was stuck at the stuck drawbridge.Probably steam coming out of my ears about then.

               

              . Felt really good!   Between that and the berry picking the last mile -

               mmm berrys,mmm

               

              Wish I could stay up to watch Kelly finish,it's pretty exciting.  Leslie, did you click on the course? Lotsa climbs.I think our girl is the only girl left at this point.

               

              Her pack of 5 just climbed Greeks Peak with less than a minute between 1 and 5.

               

               

               

               

               

               

               

               

                LOTS of freaking climbing.  Guess her being the only female now will definitely  make her first in her AG.

                          She made it to the 81.8 mark. There's 8 runners within 90 seconds of each other!

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                           

                            She's been hanging tight in 8th place, but the others aren't far behind.  This is turning into a good competition!  And our gal is hangin' in there with the best of the guys!

                             

                            Cripes, I need to go to bed, but . . . . . .

                              After the Rock Pile , there's one more climb. After that, it's a fast downhill stretch to the finish. I'm putting my $$ that Kelly moves up from 8th place. I'm fading fast and will check in the am. Good Night !
