Notes

Goal of this one - get under 1:10:00 and stay healthy.

Mission accomplished. A ton of CN dumbasses at this one - went up with Egad and AC.

(Report amended: have to tell the truth here, had beating Mad-mike at the back of my mind as well - didn't exactly achieve this goal - Mike is one tough bastard and really showed something today under trying times).

Went out fast to get ahead of the pack and settled in quickly to pace (mile 2 again sucked). Ended up running with Mad-Mike for this one - literally the whole way. Kinda fun to do some talking and banter about a bit.

Then we hit mile 6 or so and the talking kinda stopped. Was focused on keeping pace here - nothing more or less. I worked hard to survive the hills at pace and really worked the downhills - totally paid off. Passed AC at this point and kept my head down to my goal. Mike was right with me the whole way - he would give a little war-whoop every mile just to let me know he was right there. He kept telling me he wasn't in race shape - well, he looked pretty damn good to me. Couldn't shake him. This was shaping up to be fun....

Got to mile 8 and yup - we were striding right next to each other - told him I had no DA stuff in mind and was going to keep pace - he told me to reign in a woman ahead and stop talking about trying - and just do it. He said he was a few steps from walking and to go get it. I didn't believe a damn thing of it - this was going to be a dog fight.

Got to the hill and hammered down - just trying to do my job and get closer to the woman with the pink hat. I knew Mike was there, so we hit the turn home and I had to go - gave it all I had. Passed pink hat and was never so excited to see a finish line - just in time as Mike was right there - I edged him, but with the chip time we literally ended up tying. WOW.

Perfect end to this one - tons of fun and finished just like it should have. Mike drove me hard here. Happy as I got my goal time, hefty PR and placed in my category (3rd among the fat-asses).

Egad

Congrats on the very nice PR. You worked for it and deserve it for sure. That's a tough course. Thanks for the write-up.

Scorps

Awesome

Mad-Mike

Great race. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me talk, I needed that. You really made me work hard. That was as close to a 100% effort as I have ever done.

Fro

A great race and one I won't soon forget. I think I like dueling with you on the golf course better tho...

GregM

Helluva race, Fro. Same goes, of course, to Mad-Mike. But very impressive that you kept him at bay. (I suppose he didn't really want to pass you anyway; he must have gotten distracted by the pink hat.) Great to reel her in, I'm sure. Wish I were in shape to run with you guys.
