Hey, congratulations... 3rd in your AG out of 10... is impressive!

HA-HA about the 79 year old man smoking you. I always get smoked by a senior citizen or kid on a course myself.

Sounds like a fun and solid race. I have a sprint tomorrow... we will see how it goes.

I can't wait to do a longer distance though... I suspect I am like you... I HATE to sprint. I like to get warmed up and then settle into a cruising speed. For example, when I swim it takes me a good 500-800 yards to warm up. Pretty much the exact distance of the swim in a sprint. Sigh.
