Good luck, have fun, and don't go out too fast!

From Benn on Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 11:36:53

Best of luck, Walter. Just go out and have fun. You can do anything so long as you put your mind to it. Start conservative, and then lay it on thick in the latter stages

From Mik'L on Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 12:38:40

Good luck Walter! I'm sure you'll do great. You are a racing machine! Enjoy and I'll be wishing for better weather than we had last year! 1234 has got to be lucky!

From Walter on Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 20:15:08

Thanks Jon I will be conservative at first to let my legs get in their groove.

Thanks Benn, that course is very unforgiving after mile 15. I will take your advice into account.

Mik'l I wish you guys were coming so we could have a good puke afterwards! jk. I hope my number is lucky because im putting in as a lottery number.

Wish I could cheer for you in person. I'll have to settle for many exclamation points.
