I think the cold weather it usually has must be a contributing factor.

You can pretty much figure out what those need to be to meet your goal.<br /><br />Oh - plus a smart race, guts, and the right spirit!<br /><br />(ps - you aren't starting to noodle around about 4 hrs are you ???? :<))RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-54468439367780636892009-12-08T20:26:10.802-08:002009-12-08T20:26:10.802-08:00PS - I took the same pic of those balloons!! :)PS - I took the same pic of those balloons!! :)Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514393906061742296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-14638251894181424192009-12-08T20:25:06.623-08:002009-12-08T20:25:06.623-08:00Congratulations!!!!

I agree 150% that this is not a solely downhill course! I think what makes it so special is all of the ups and downs, really helps your leg muscles, leading to a PR, but you must train hard to get it (which you totally kicked BUTT and did!!).
