AM: jog over to meet carpool to Indy - 4 miles - about 35 min. WU with some jogging and strides - we got there way early, so alot of WU - about 2 miles. Race: 5k where the Quaff guys and I were expecting a lot of faster dudes since it has been in the past. There wren't too many sub 17 guys and faster, turned out. Danny and Tim went out in 1/2 positions and held those positions for the race duration. I was about 5 seconds back from Danny most of the race. I wound up in 3rd at the end only through a real hard kick at the end to stay ahead of Jason? (Was that you, Jason?) I was so gassed afterward that I did not have the mental faculties to carry on any sort of converastion... :) sry.

Nice kick. Sound like you and Jason were pretty close!

That was me, Joe. I was going to finally introduce myself but felt awkward.

I had nothing left when you kicked. Probably had another gear but I was in "Oh, hey, this went better than I thought" mode. Not that I could have caught you. You're much faster in short distance races and the marathon . . . but I am hoping to reclaim my title as "The fastest active FRB blogger marathon time" :)

It's a nice yet weird little series. It's true that you never know who will show up, but this race especially it seems to be the case.

Well done today.
