Here's the executive summary: Sub-three. Just barely. But it counts - I got it done. Pack your massage table, Carrie.
I'll post more later, but first I've got to hammer out a Monterey Herald article for Monday's paper. I'll post that one here as well, hopefully sometime tomorrow.
Honestly, if you're really dying to know how the race went, just scroll back a couple of posts to my "Anatomy of an Upset." My race played out in exactly the same manner I described - so accurately that I could probably just re-publish it under the title "Big Sur Race Report" and it would be 100% accurate.
I had no idea I would be so clairvoyant with that post. Maybe I should start my own cable access show or something.
At any rate, I'll get a couple of post-race reports up here soon. But right now I've got an appointment with an ice bath.

Woohoo! NICE. What else is there to say. On to Wildflower I guess. What's the plan for a fast reload before Saturday: carbs, massage, some easy recovery workouts, lot's of sleep? You're heading into the long course buoyed by an amazing performance...real sweet.

Well done mate, a fantastic effort. You've got one big set of...*ahem*...to smash this run with Wildflower next week.
You are a braver man than I.
Again, congratulations.
Fantastic!!!!!! Congratulations, and all that after you switched to the tri side. Maybe there's something to say for cross-training after all. Sub-3 on such a course .... wow!
Congrats on the sub 3. Look forward to the details.
Donald- please tell me that going sub 3 hurt you a little! ;-) I wonder what a 2:59 at big sur would equate to on a flat course- scary thought eh?!
Seriously- CONGRATS! Looking forward to your report.
Congratulations! Good things happen to good people. Hopefully the trend continues next week.
Wow solid run! Now that you're no longer riding the green monster, watch out! I'm glad you're not in my age group.
Woohoo!!! You knew you're we're going to kick it!
