beers 193 & 194



Survived Silver Rush weekend.  The bike was tough, but I managed to crank out a 6:19 finish.  Came back the next day for a strong run, 9:30.  Negative split the run, a testament to how easy I went out and how much quicker the second half of the race is.  A shot I got from the top of the first climb, mile ten:


Thanks to Lucho for taking care of my nutritional needs out there.  The last climb of the day was a lot more enjoyable for me than most runners.

Solid! Have you met (fellow Leadman) Travis Thomason yet? I'm friends with him after meeting him at a race, cool guy (recognizable by his tats)...triathlete but also able to make fun of the scene. He's newer at ultra distances but a stronger cyclist: interested to see how you do vs. each other.

Mike, didn't notice him among the masses. But the only thing I'm trying to beat is the cutoff, I'm in no great hurry if I'm under that mark.
