I was worried I might pay for it later, but I didn't think I would crash so thoroughly down the stretch. It must be hard to judge the effort on that down hill. Hopefully I learned something. | |

What a difference a couple of weeks can make, especially if you run a smarter race. New PR. It is only a minute 30 seconds faster than my BQ time but ould make a difference. We will find out next week. Thanks to the crew for the encouragement and to Marlin for running with me for the first half. He still posted a great time and maybe has something to think about regarding negative splits. He must have run that second half pretty fast. I basically took two weeks off following Pocatello although I had a field project that worked me pretty hard this week. I got a couple of short runs in but did not post them.
