for the Pikes Peak racers...

If anyone is an expert on the Pikes Peak races, it's Matt Carpenter. And he said last night that both races had horrible conditions, the Ascent having a low pressure system move in during the race (I guess this makes you run slower?) and the Marathon having the heat to deal with. He said those conditions were the big reason for all the slow times. Nice jackets yunz guys got for finishing the races. Not nearly as cool as the Leadville schwag, but good job anyways!
