This was a super-tough XC course! I did not plan to run as hard as I did, but there really was no avoiding it. After two miles I was hurting, BAD. But, luckily, so was everyone else. The full race report can be found here.

Janet took some cool videos too. They are on my Picasa page. It is actually pretty sad to see how slow we are going in the first video. Please keep in mind that we had just finished climbing a monster hill. In the second video, you can see how badly I got out-kicked. Again, sadly, once I realized I was beaten, I pulled the plug... a lesson to the youngsters of how NOT to finish a race!

Our team, the Howard County Striders, took first place and we each were given a free bottle of wine -- my kind of race!
