Notes
Started off with the intent of jogging for 20 miles and then picking it up since it was such a bad day. Torrential rain and heavy wind at the start and through about mile 9. Then it settled into mostly just a very hard rain. I started to groove into it as the rain wasn't bothering me much and as I started seeing people I knew up ahead I'd pick it up and try to cruise past them strong to show I wasn't tired. Tried to run strong after the bridge at mile 21.5 and I picked off a BUNCH of runners who had slowed to crawls ... it was fun to just blow by them. Was a little fun to go by Teeters somewhere around 15 or so miles - he was running pretty slow by then. Brian Davis WAS there, don't know if he finished though. He came up behind me at mile 10 and we talked for a minute then he fell back. I saw Peter Hsiah ahead of me and I made damn sure he didn't get away from me, when we hit about 20 I passed him and didn't see him again. He's probably the one I'm happiest to finish ahead of seing as how he was beating me like a red-headed stepchild this year. Fun race. My legs are sore.
