Wow- sounds like a BLAST!!! I didn't even know that race existed. DH and I really will consider coming down and doing it next year. I LOVE to run at night because it's so peaceful and calm, but the fear/reality of being assaulted keeps me from doing so.
I'm glad you had a great race. When you get in that zone (which is rare for me), you just gotta go with it and keep it steady. I'm sure Jonny understood. DH and I have an understanding that no matter how either one is feeling- in a race you do your own thing. He wasn't mad, was he?

Congrats on a great race. I'll definitely pencil that in on the calendar for next year!

BTW- are the reflecting bags in the picture the ones you got at packet pickup? Niiiiiiiccccceeeee!!!!
