The Plug Was Pulled

The dry heaving and foot-pain won out during the night. After a lengthly (mostly internal) debate about whether the decision to pull was smart or "pussy", Skip hobbled to the showers and got a few hours of sleep. Tearing down and packing up this morning was so consuming that we don't really know many results. We look forward to getting home and hoping to find some posted results. Dallas and Joe hung strong all night, and we just assume that the LaLondes' team won as we heard of some amazing sub-hour times from them. Hopefully a few pics to post later and some commentary from our wounded warrior. Later, Mrs. Snob

It was good to see you again and nice to meet the family.
sorry about the bad luck but you Definitely did all you could with the cards given.
Paddy and I talked about how this course was hard on the feet and that's coming from me the runner. If I hadn't had my wifes shoes I'd have been in big trouble also.
Now go nd and take the family for a nice supper they deserve it.
Oh and cross season is fast approaching so all will be well.

The number of laps or miles doesn't matter. You were there and you pushed yourself through some tough soul-searching times. That's something to be proud of.

Here are the results.

Hey Skip, sorry about the belly and feet troubles. It's all about redemptive suffering anyway, so you did great in that department.
