Pretty frustrating race for me.I’ll keep this simple.First 4.5 miles were great.I was sailing right along and loved the steep
downhill.Passing lots of people and was
pretty close to the front I believe.Big
gap between me and the people ahead.The
coolest thing of this whole race was the fog when we were coming out of the
first canyon where Sundance is.It was
awesome.Everything after this was
tough.My legs just died.Mentally I wasn’t into it.Getting passed by everyone I had just
passed.Melanie from the blog came along
and I was going to try and stick with her, but I just didn’t have it in my
legs.From about mile 7 on I tried to
just take it easy, but I was so frustrated.Finally at mile 10 Josse caught up to me and I was so glad to finally
have somebody to run with to the end.Glad this race is over.I want to
be done with racing for a while.My legs
just don’t have anything in them.I want
to try and just put in some miles and enjoy some overall fitness.
BTW – I had an awful “honey bucket” experience before the
race.I’ll spare the details for now,
but it was disgusting and just pissed me off.Still makes me sick to think about.On the bright side, the fog was awesome, my first 4.5 miles were
awesome, I got to talk with Bec before the race and Josse and some others after
the race, and I got some exercise today.

I am sorry your race was no good, but I was also glad to have you to run with at the end:)

I must say...those first 4.5 were AWESOME and the scenery was worth the run. I just laid back and had fun today - congrats on pushing it all out to the end. Sorry about the honey bucket, someone should've told you about the warm flush toilets...

Wow Jeff, I forgot to mention the awesome scenery and the fog we ran into which was so cool. Sometimes I get caught up in the race and forget the scenery. Keep up those miles and you will be a force to be reckoned with.

I agree with Walter!
I am sorry that your race wasn't the best. I didn't know that the Honey Bucket was unkind to you either, stink! It was fun talking to you yesterday while we laughed at the individuals that were scantily dressed. I better be seeing you at the LC soon!

It was fun seeing you there. Where was Mark? I'll see-ya at the LC. Don't be too hard on yourself you still did great!
