Notes
I was on pace to contend for Grandmaster prior to my injury. I met the GM champion, Mike O'Connor, super good guy. He remembered passing me on the way back and asking if I was ok. He said I had a chance to break the G-Master course record prior to turning my ankle. I thought that was kind of him to say. He finished in 2:17, and he said the GM course record is 2:15. We both agreed that was do-able. Maybe next year?
