I even dropped the 'c'mon now, they have cut-offs in ironman, why not Napa." The 3 hour guys, well I don't know much about them.mtheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375920259553509683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139640543513507867.post-68131901928714131092009-03-03T17:30:00.000-08:002009-03-03T17:30:00.000-08:00Fantastic job! We clearly weren't running in the s...Fantastic job! We clearly weren't running in the same pace groups, LOL, but it was a tough day out there for everyone. <BR/><BR/>I have a buddy that was out there with your crowd he was trying to break 3 hours but came in at 3:00:53. I should hook you guys up! <BR/><BR/>I hear you about the cut off at Napa. I understood that last year when I ran my first there and I spent the winter doing speed work ot make sure I could finish in time. <BR/><BR/>I just thought with the conditons and the number of no shows they could give the late runners medals. Plus they opened the Silverado trail to traffic (BOTH lanes!!) at 8:30 in the morning. I thought that was ridiculous. Cars were flying by us in the pouring rain when there was often no bike lane and barely a shoulder to run in. <BR/><BR/>I guarantee you as a Team in training alumni the TNT'ers that came in after 6 hours got medals so they should have given the cute little lady in the pink shower cap one. They could have done it one the sly. I know they can't encourage slower runners to come to Napa since it is such a small race, but still...<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo.. I have hijacked your blog enough. I jut wanted to say "hi" and let you know that I appreciate your comment! Happy running! Any chance you are doing Big Sur? I will be there!RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.com
