Great report Doug! You described the course perfectly. Yeah, you know it's bad when hills come with a name!!
It was great meeting you and the rest of the group and oh yeah, definitely great race!!

Doug, like Liz, I'm grinning from ear to ear after reading your report (again). This is just the best. Especially after you'd accepted that your PR smashing days were behind you. . Congratulations on beating your injuries and coming back stronger than ever. So happy for you.
.... maybe next year I'll play too.
thanks as always for such a great report.
Wow, I remember you being on the DL for so long....incredible that all that cycling really paid off. A PR after 10 CRIMS if I got that right, is just awesome!
One of these days I'll have to go Econo too, but right now I'm too slow for that.

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."
