1:04:32 (31:29/33:02). Pipeline Trail to Fat Mans Trail and back. Not sure, but I think the overall net elevation gain was around 600 ft (starting at 7100 and going up to 7700) - most of it on the way back (as you can see from my spits). All and all I was pretty much equal effort for both the out and back portions, it was a great run. Final grant sections for the day include the introduction to the resubmission (where I get to point out to the reviewers how much their tearing my grant apart last time made this one so much better -- which is true actually), and final finishing touches to my research plan. This submission is very much improved from last year. Then I have a month to rewrite it a little to submit as a different type of grant in August. One of these will get funded, of that I am positive. There are pluses and minuses to each type of funding mechanism .... either way though, it will be all good, and make a significant contribution to GI Cancer research! yippee. Have a wonderful day bloggers, hope you are just warm enough to feel happy! I forgot to tell you about the BBQ at Coach Greg's house the other night, it was really fun. I got to talk to Ian Torrance about his most recent (of 7 I believe) Western States race, Brett Gotcher about his training in general and a whole bunch of new faces on the McMillan Elite team -- it is going to be a good year for them, they have really got a bunch of superstars!!
