If it was the same as usual, that was a very misleading statement.

I've done way too many races where I've been cross eyed and suffering and missed a turn. It is a part of trail racing, but it always sucks.<br /><br />Have to give serious props to guys like Karl M. Their patience, strength and experience is definitely worth respecting.Adamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616913998029566385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-1941629420811115762010-02-13T18:07:37.460-07:002010-02-13T18:07:37.460-07:00Brandon- Ya, it was fun and I learned a bit.

Other than that, legs feel nothing. The course was horribly marked from the perspective of a focused runner. The RD has run that course 1000's of times probably and knows it like the back of his hand, so he sees no problems. He needs to take the perspective of a focused, not-thinking clearly runner who has never run the course and mark the course through the eyes of a first timer. When I asked about this issue last night he was kind of a dick in his response too. <br /><br />Eric- Ya... as long as I let the big boys lead :) Thanks.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-26168738285814819132010-02-13T17:59:30.264-07:002010-02-13T17:59:30.264-07:00Well, glad you were out there.

At one point, no flags and I freaked out.<br /><br />Anyway, you have more great runs to come.Brandon Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171059778161578566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-71964571423102240792010-02-13T17:57:28.501-07:002010-02-13T17:57:28.501-07:00Tough break with the course marking, but at least ...Tough break with the course marking, but at least you know you can hang with the big boys.<br /><br />EricEric Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918433741883964087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-40794255421093265422010-02-13T17:48:12.836-07:002010-02-13T17:48:12.836-07:00This makes me incredibly angry, just as a fan. Whe...This makes me incredibly angry, just as a fan. When an athlete like you goes off course, that is almost always an indication of bad marking. Still, that is an exciting start to the season! It will be tons of fun to follow your build-up to Leadville.<br /><br />How did the foot hold up?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737226792553470762noreply@blogger.com
