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.

Drove to Atlanta with the family after work.  I'm ready for the race and feel great (other than my tweaked ankle).  It's go time.

Short report- Very happy with a win at the awesome, muddy, flooded SweetH20 50k.  2nd fastest time ever in race history, only 3 minutes off CR.  Felt great.  32.5 miles with 5500 ft of hard climb/5500 descent in 4:23.  Great day.

Now I am spending 2 more days with the family vacationing in Atlanta.  So the write-up might be a bit.  

[UPDATE] Full report now posted at the home of the ugliest running shorts in the world.
