I would have passed out and died before I hit the first switchback!

I just sat here and did the math; roughly 6 minute miles.
Damn…that’s fast on flat pavement. Which is harder, maintaining that speed on the ups or not falling ass over teakettle on the downs?
I think I could walk it at an even clip, but I don’t run.

The only things that would make me run that far (but not that fast) would be:
1) the police…
or
2) lemon-sized spiders….

I agree with Steve about the spiders!
I went and looked at the photos and saw my best friend’s son. Can not wait to find out he did this year. He was 12th overall last year at 15! The weather up here has been horrible this year to train in. Right now it is 18 with snow. Yuck!

Congrats to everyone.
I saw so many names I know that have been doing this since the beginning.
Congratulations to Jeremy once again, that boy does move!!!!
