  • Comments: Yet another frustrating miss at a podium finish. Despite 18th overall I wound up 5th in my age group. In any other age group (older or younger) I would have been top-3. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't worry about things I can't control. This is fast becoming one of my favorite events: time trial start, nice course, well organized, not obscenely expensive, for a good cause, plus it has that cool cancer-survivor vibe going on. I'll be back even though it is not a local race for me any more.

LOVED the inspirational mile with all the signs about why we fight, what "half full" means. Great reality check and inspiration early in the run to help us all remember why we're there. Post-race walked back about a mile or 2 looking for a teammate who was doing the HIM and cramped up on the run from the beginning. So nice to see I wasn't the only one as we picked up a few others on the way, to get him to his little girl who'd been patiently waiting in the drizzle to run through the finish chute with him.
