Comments:

I started out very slowly, let a lot of folks pass me. After about the 8 mile mark, I was surprised by how good I felt. The heartrate was low, so I picked up the pace a bit. Towards the end, I was passing a lot of those folks who had gassed it at the start and who looked miserable. I felt great and finished very strong.

Warm down:

Are you kidding? As soon as I stopped, the chill set in since I was soaked with sweat. I nearly froze to death.

Event comments:

Pic #1 - Clowning around, trying to stay warm before the race.
Pic #2 - Race finish was at the Braves Stadium.

You goof! Whether you'll admit to it or not, you are a FLEXER and here's our proof. I think the picture of you flexing should be your new picture. It's time to get rid of that yellow shirt one. The one on the left suits the season better because it's now cold out.

Great job on your race!

Is it a flexer picture? It looks like Karl's head floating out there with his hands.

Nice time on the run Karl!

Congratulations Karl!!  Good to hear you were reeling them in at the end....that's the way to do it!

No matter what they say about your avatar, it will always look better than the ponytailed creature one you had that scared us out of our pants
