Ugly day today... Recovering from viral influenza, lack of sleep and loss of fitness equals crappy performance. The one thing I am happy about is that I finished this race feeling absolutely spent. Toward the end I started gaining some ground on some of the other guys ahead of me but it just wasn't enough.. This was a deep and wickedly competitive field I would have expected maybe during late summer. But at a cold early winter race on an inversion cast day? My hat goes off to Scott Keate for an incredible race. Jeez.. The bar was not just raised, it was taken up into the stratosphere! Still.. It definitely inspires me to do better both in training and racing thats for sure.
