I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Sheesh, that was pathetic, far more so than expected. I had nothing in me today. Almost 3 minutes slower than last year and 11 places worse. And I got chicked for the first time in a long time, at least the first in my 2 years on the blog. Huh.

Splits 5:51, 5:27 (big downhill), 6:01, 6:26, 7:08 (big uphill), 7:09, 1:24.

To top off the day, I even got lost on my 6 mile cooldown with Fiddy, Cody, and Walter and ended up adding an extra mile. Congrats to Fiddy, Cody, Walter, and everyone else who ran a great race!

Must've been some serious fast girl then.

Jon - You were sick and didn't have time to heal. You have a big excuse. Just think of the other great races you've had, and what you would have accomplished if you could have trained the same way as last year. Sometimes were hard on ourselves but you really have to look at the circumstances going into this race.

Your an awesome runner and can blow by me and you have plenty of wonderful races ahead.
