Well THAT was the wettest race I have ever run. At least I didn't have to do Ogden :) Started off fast like usual, charging up the hill on a cloud. Then reality set in at about .25 and I slowed down and got passed right away, but was able to hold about 100 feet back on the flats. Every hill let 1st place get further away though, and I didn't see him any more after leaving the bowl. Even with the mud starting to accumulate I was still able to hold in the mid 6s on the upper road, and this time I remembered to eat grapes at the gun range! I don't know if it helped - I still had a lot of get up and go and went up the hill pretty well. Got passed at the upper aid station and never was able to see 2nd again no matter how crazy I got in the mud chutes going down. The last bit of the flat road was a total disaster and I overshot the turnpoint losing a minute but still managed to equal last year's performance but with the disadavantage of mud so very satisfactory. 3rd overall, they mercifully handed me my chili and prize so I could get in the warm car.
