So, just got back to Reno after spending a long day in Cool, CA. Race was fun! With 5 miles to go (29 mile mark - course is actually 34.2 miles) I was 3+ mins behind the leader and poured it on until I saw him with about 2 miles to go. Ran out of real estate... He won in 4:54 and I was second in 4:55.
Darren ran this race last year in 6:14. This year...he came in 5:38 in 8th place! Not bad when you can lop over 1 min per mile off your pace!
Beautiful day, warming into the sunny upper 60s. Challenging course with 6,000 ft of climb.
Nice job! Good season opener!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Tim - way to get the season rolling!
ReplyDeleteSweeet. The real estate market is pretty shitty right now. Upper 60's... That's must have been like a sauna for you!?
ReplyDeleteNice run...bummer you ran out of room but good that you were still running strong at the end!
ReplyDeleteGreat opener. Auspicious. Good that you ran out of earth. Now you're pissed off and you'll really work to smoke some fools and lay-out chumps.
ReplyDeleteDrink beer!
Good try Tim, but 2nd place is 1st loser.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Tim. With your race schedule this year it's a good sign that this course was too short for you!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Tim. Way to pour it on!
