Race report is up!  Go here.  I'm really sore today.  I attribute it to slipping and sliding around on the snow, because my stabilizers are primarily what is sore.  Quads are of course sore as well, given the vertical climb and fast descent, but I'll be fine.

Only 11 miles and you're SORE?!? Sheesh- maybe you wouldn't have made it all 28!

Just kidding. By the way, if you want another race, you could try Grand Mesa 37 or 50...

I wish I would've known the course was going to be short this year. I wasn't ready for 28, but I could have done 11.

You ran very well. I enjoyed your report.

nice job, just 3 seconds back, and good coverage of you in the paper, with a nice picture as well! you are famous. I will save the hard copy for you. too bad they shortened the course but it sounds like there was no choice.

Nice job reeling them all in at the end Joe. That must have hurt with the stomach all messed up. I joked about teaching you something about descending the other day...of course we all knew you would be the one doing the teaching on the ascent and the descent. Nicely done! Too bad about 2nd, next time. You would have been 1st for sure had it been the full course distance.

oh yeah. and I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was sore. That dry canyon descent at full speed is pretty relentless on the quads. I've been running a lot of steep down hill stuff hard without getting sore recently. But I have been hobbling the last two days. Partly due to my stiff knee, but also really sore quads.

nice race, joe. i can see why the last minute course changes would make the race more challenging mentally, but it sounds like you adapted well and had a good attitude about it. you were very close to that win against some really great competition. congrats on another strong race.
