That's not the kind of PR you want:-)

No...something is wrong :-(

From Rye on Sun, Dec 04, 2011 at 01:29:40 from 75.174.13.127

Sorry! More info later?

From SlowJoe on Sun, Dec 04, 2011 at 12:30:33 from 74.195.74.62

Sorry it didn't go well. Are you taking in carbs on these long runs?

From Dan on Mon, Dec 05, 2011 at 14:17:42 from 24.209.83.20

Hey, that's a tough run and still builds for the future. I know I have been out- BUT, what is your fueling strategy? It looks like you ran lean.

From JG on Mon, Dec 05, 2011 at 19:43:35 from 71.59.27.33

Shake it off & don't worry about, some days our body is just not ready for a 20 miler! Hope your roping event is going well!!

From Steam8 on Tue, Dec 06, 2011 at 10:55:21 from 166.70.55.77

What??? That is nothing like the runs you have been pumping out lately! Must have just been a bad run day for you! I hope the rest of your weekend ends up better!! Good luck on your roping!!!!
