I was hurting more than you, and I hope no one was there in the dark those last two miles to witness me breaking the cardinal rule not to whine.<BR/>You finished right behind me - almost caught me. So I guess we were sitting around the heater together.<BR/>I was watching ESPN sports a week before, and these Cross athletes were talking about all the evil under-handed crap they do to each other. Man, ultra running is so different. We HELP each other! We're like family. We don't compete AGAINST each other - we compete WITH each other - but mostly ourselves to see what we can achieve.<BR/>Great race!<BR/>Maybe we'll see each other again and get to know each other.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17085373226210005.post-85478688441860729622009-01-15T20:28:00.000-06:002009-01-15T20:28:00.000-06:00Great race, great time!

I have read a number of Bandera reports and several are doing the Texas Trilogy, I may give that a shot next year but I really want that 50-mile Texas Style Grand Slam.<BR/><BR/>See you at Rocky!S.

Even though the 50K throws us into cairn's and boyle's first, I had exactly the same funk between nachos and chapas. and the same lightness between my visits to crossroads.

I did have to promise Nancy I wouldn't drive home directly after the race though!!!<BR/><BR/>Clea - yeah, I think I'm in a good place right now. I'm going to cut the mileage for the next few weeks and aim to keep myself healthy for Rocky. Congratulations on your race in Georgetown.<BR/><BR/>Jeff - great race yourself in the 50k Mister<BR/><BR/>Brian - sure I remember you. Seal Gymnastics, right? Congratulations on your race too. We probably won't be back to Early until March, but it would be great to meet up for a run. I'll shoot you an email.<BR/><BR/>Ryan - nice job amigo. You finished a tough old race, and the Trilogy is still alive. I'll see you in Huntsville and let's close this thing out.<BR/><BR/>Steve - yes, I got lucky and hada good day.

But I hooked up with a buddy and we got it done.
