Early AM- What a race..  Not my fastest by any means but definitely the most interesting and enjoyable for sure:)  My hat is off to Keith Andersen for teaming up with me in the last miles to keep things going.  Nothing like conversation and some light humour to keep the spirits up in the closing miles. Thanks Keith:)  Also had the privilege to run with some of the women in the middle miles.  And then there was Katie Thompson, she was having a great race:)  At somewhere around mile 16 after some discussion about her competition and how she was feeling, I told her that I needed to back off and she needed to push ahead and catch her competition. Catch them she did.. Way to go Katie!  

I really so desperately wanted to quit at mile 21 and was convinced that I was out of the money. But something told me No! You are not going to quit Steve.. You need to finish this race. The outcome doesn't matter..  Just finish ok?  I managed to do that somehow and I'm not totally sure why.

Way to mix it up Steve. One of the things that's keeping it fun for me is that I can always find something positive in every race.

Yes you did it! I live Keith. We took triathlon 101-104 together in college. Three straight semesters.
