Currently I'm on two Ragnar teams.  I invited all of them to join me on a run up Usery Pass.  Nobody could make it.  Granted, half my So Cal team lives in CA, and half my Del Sol team had races, but I think it comes down to them being scared.  Scared of the hill.  Scared of me.  Who knows.  Luckily my neighbor Mike King that lives right behind me had planned to go, also.  So I went with him and a handful of people on his team, which included Bishop, his wife, his son, Jacob Wright from our ward, his brother, and one other lady that was unrecognizable under her beanie.

Me, Mike, and Bishop's son, Tyler started out running together.  I didn't even think to bring a headlamp, and it was dark.  I stuck close to Tyler since he had one.  After two miles Mike and I started putting some distance between Tyler.  After three miles I started to distance myself from Mike a bit.  He was only about 20 feet behind me.  So I waited for him when I turned around at the top.  Then I left him in the dust.  This was the best run I've had in some time.

Splits - 9:42, 10:20, 9:39, 9:10, 8:07, 7:31, 7:33, 2:57

Nice finish! Now your team will really be scared of you if they read this.

That's a really good run, congratulations.

Joe - it's sad that my fast downhill speed is the same as your slow uphill pace.

Flat - saying congratulations for my mediocre run sounds a little condescending, but I'll take it.

Downhill or not, those legs were doing some work! Nice run Burt.

Thanks Corndogelius. Too bad all my runs can't be downhill.
